METHANE de-NOX FOR UTILITY PC BOILERS

Abstract: The project seeks to develop and validate a new pulverized coal combustion system to reduce utility PC boiler NO x emissions to 0.15 lb/million Btu or less without post-combustion flue gas cleaning. Work during previous reporting periods completed the design, installation, shakedown and initial PRB coal testing of a 3-million Btu/h pilot system at BBP's Pilot-Scale Combustion Facility (PSCF) in Worcester, MA. Based on these results, modifications to the gas-fired preheat combustor and PC burner were defined, a… Show more

“…Preheating is a cost-effective low-NO x combustion method. In the 1980s, the All-Russian Research Institute of Thermal Engineering [16] proposed, for the first time, a method of natural gas preheating in combination with the air staged combustion technology, which divides the pulverized coal combustion process into three zones: pyrolysis, reduction, and combustion zones. When the preheating temperature reaches 1000 K, NO x emission is reduced by 80% to 138 mg/Nm 3 at 6% O 2 .…”

“…A gas-fired coal preheating (GFCP) method is that a pulverized coal (PC) stream enters the chamber where flue gas from gas combustion is used to heat the PC stream to high temperature before coal combustion. The GFCP method developed for utility PC boilers by the All-Russian Thermal Engineering Institute (VTI) has been verified to be an effective de-NO x method. This approach also increases the degree of the freedom of NO x control strategies, since it can be used with conventional combustion de-NO x techniques such as air staging, low NO x burner, reburning, and moderate and intensive low-oxygen dilution (MILD).…”
