Experience on coal reburn in a utility boiler
Reburning is an in-furnace combustion modification technology for the reduction of NOx. By staging the introduction of the fuel, an environment is created where NOx generated by the combustion of the main fuel supply is subsequently consumed by the hydrocarbon radicals arising from the reburn fuel under reducing conditions. ENEL has retrofitted unit No. 4 of Vado Ligure power station with ...

Optimizing VOC Combustion - Case Study
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are pre-cursors to Ozone pollution and subject to EPA regulations. Thermal and catalytic oxidizers are routinely used to destroy VOC emissions from a variety of industrial sources. NOx and CO are common byproducts created in the burning of natural gas. All of these pollutants can be effectively minimized, but the challenge is engineering a solution that ...

A novel approach for modelling of NOx emission reduction in a tangentially fired coal boiler
In this research paper, predictive modelling of NOx emission of a 210 MW capacity pulverised coal–fired boiler and combustion parameter optimisation to reduce NOx emission in flue gas is proposed. The effects of oxygen concentration in flue gas, coal properties, coal flow, boiler load, air distribution scheme, flue gas outlet temperature and nozzle tilt were studied. The data collected from ...

Why are Dual Chamber Incinerators Best for Burning Medical Waste?
Dual chamber incinerators are well suited to the destruction of a wide range of medical waste types. Many of our medical incinerators feature autoloaders for continuous operation – as burn rates and performance are often improved by this optional extra. The quantities of waste and their calorific value will often dictate the overall performance of any waste management solution. Parts of a ...

The Other Side of Zirconium Oxide case study
Regular Fuel Efficiency Applications Separate Oxygen and Combustibles Sensors In standard flue gas applications for Thermox analyzers, the user generally tries to extract the maximum energy from the fuel and transfers as much of that energy as possible to the process. These applications require the process to be operated as efficiently as possible by keeping both oxygen (excess air) and ...

What are Incinerator Machines? An idiot’s guide
What is an incinerator machine? An incinerator machine is a mechanical unit that is built to destroy waste. this happens by burning the waste at an extremely high temperature, reducing it to bottom ash. The machines can be manufactured from small garden waste incinerators, all the way to large scale industrial sized machines. Waste of all manners is burned until it is reduced to nothing but ...
