Combustion Of Low Volatile Coals - Application To Wall Fired Power Plant: Project Summary

This resource links to a document we hold in our system

Abstract:

The objectives of this project are:

  • To demonstrate the combustion performance of a low volatile coal burner for wall fired furnaces by testing of a full-scale burner design in a single burner test facility.
  • To optimise the furnace design and process for utility plant and burner retrofits with regard to combustion efficiency, NOX missions, and stability/turndown performance by means of pilot scale testing and advanced modelling techniques.
  • The main aim of the project was to demonstrate the proposed low volatile burner at full scale in a single burner test facility and to establish its performance with regard to NOX and combustion efficiency. Furthermore, pilot scale testing was undertaken to quantify the effect of the staged addition of combustion air. Air staging is generally regarded as an effective, mature technology for NOX reduction from bituminous coals, but its impact on low volatile coals is less well understood.
