Co-combustion of refuse derived fuel and coal in a cyclone furnace at the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, C. P. Crane Station

Description: A co-combustion demonstration burn of coal and fluff refuse-derived fuel (RDF) was conducted by Teledyne National and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. This utility has two B and W cyclone furnaces capable of generating 400 MW. The facility is under a prohibition order to convert from No. 6 oil to coal; as a result, it was desirable to demonstrate that RDF, which has a low sulfur content, can be burned in combination with coals containing up to 2% sulfur, thus reducing overall sulfur emission… more

Cyclone reburning retrofit-corrosion evaluation

Description: Reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NO{sub x}) from cyclone-equipped boilers is best accomplished by the application of reburning technology. Reburning process involves injection of a supplementary fuel above the cyclone to create a reducing zone for NO{sub x} removal. Overfire air is introduced above this zone to achieve complete combustion. Since the reburning zone must operate substoichiometrically, tube corrosion due to H{sub 2}S formation within the modified combustion zones can be a potentia… more

Comparison of lime and iron oxide for high temperature sulfur removal

Description: Slagging combustors with injected lime or limestone are being considered as replacements for conventional coal burners. They have advantage in that they can be staged to reduce NO{sub x} and SO{sub x} emissions. Lime or limestone are the currently preferred sorbent materials but iron oxide, as an alternative to lime or limestone, may be effective not only as a desulfurizing agent, but, under the right conditions of oxygen potential, it can act as a flux to produce a glassy slag. This glassy sla… more

Thermal Treatment of Wastes in an Advanced Cyclonic Combustor

Description: IGT is developing an advanced waste combustion concept, based on cyclonic combustion principles, for application to a wide range of industrial wastes. In IGT's cyclonic combustor, a mixture of fuel and combustion air is fed tangentially at a relatively high velocity into a cylindrical chamber. The waste is injected either tangentially with the fuel or separately in a tangential, radial, or axial configuration. This approach provides high combustion intensity with internal recirculation of combu… more
