Abstract:

The objectives of this project were:

To evaluate the performance of the original boiler unit and conduct heat flux measurements for input to boiler modelling for a new design.

To develop a non-intrusive device for flow measurement in individual furnace tubes for the assessment of the waterside performance and to prove the new design.

To conduct steam oxidation trials on candidate furnace wall tube materials.

The benefits to the operator, Yaomeng Power Generation Limited, (YPGL) from the project have included:

Increased power output capability.

Improved load following capability.

Improved turndown without fuel oil support.

Improved plant availability and part load efficiency.

Significant savings on fuel consumption.

Reduced emissions.

Reduced auxiliary power draw.

All leading to savings on power generation costs.

This brochure describes the principles used for the Yaomeng upgrade to a Mitsui Babcock Posiflow boiler and illustrates the clear benefits to boilers designed or converted to utilise this low water mass flux, optimised internally ribbed vertical tube boiler technology.
