Modern Technologies for Increasing the Energy and Environmental Efficiency of Energy Production

Abstract

The problems of energy efficiency of energy production along with improving the environmental safety of enterprises are becoming increasingly relevant. One of the ways to solve these problems is the implemention of effective technologies, which include microflare incineration technology (MIT-technology) of gaseous fuels. The use of MIT- technology, in addition to a significant reduction in harmful emissions into the atmosphere, can simultaneously increase the energy efficiency of thermal power plants.
 A significant positive effect can also be achieved by using contact energy exchange plants. A striking example of such a gas-steam plant “Aquarius” the operation of which exceeds the efficiency of gas turbine plants by 10-12% with a simultaneous significant decrease in the concentration of toxic nitrogen oxides NOx and carbon monoxide CO in flue gases.

The determination of the features of the process of mixture formation of hydrogen burner

“…Hydrogen has a higher burning rate, in addition, pure hydrogen leads to stronger corrosion, so equipment designed for burning natural gas is not suitable for using hydrogen fuel. At the same time, an important issue is uniform preliminary mixture formation, which would make it possible to create a stable flame and ensure complete combustion of the fuel mixture in the combustion chamber [3].…”
