Abstract:
Bottom ash and flyash having high LOI is reburned in a pulverized coal furnace. The bottom ash is added to the coal supply before the coal is pulverized. Flyash is added to the pulverized coal stream for injection with the pulverized coal or is separately injected into the furnace at or slightly above the level of the coal burners in the furnace. The bottom ash and flyash is added to the coal in direct proportion of 1% to 3.5% of the coal.
Abstract:
Process of producing a treated coal, by heating the coal to remove volatiles and drying the product to produce a treated coal consisting essentially of carbon and hydrogen.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a means and method for at least injecting mitigant particles into the combustion region (fireball) of a biomass boiler. The mitigant particles mitigate the slagging, fouling and corrosion problems caused by biomass ash by at least capturing the biomass ash. The mitigant particles capture the biomass ash by forming a physical bond with the biomass ash such that it adheres to the surface of mitigant particles. By injecting the mitigant particles into the combustion region, the opportunity to capture biomass ash is optimised.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for beneficiation of fly ash particles comprising: determining the heat value of the fly ash particles; comparing the determined heat value of the fly ash particles with a minimum heat value K; feeding an inlet of a combustor (5) with a feed material comprising the fly ash particles and, in case the determined heat value is lower than the minimum heat value K, fuel in sufficient quantity to assure that the heat value of the raw material is greater than or equal to the minimum heat value K; supplying an upstream airflow to the combustor (5) so as to carry the feed material in suspension from the inlet to an outlet of the combustor; operating the combustor (5) at a temperature of at least 700° C.; collecting beneficiated fly ash particles from the airflow at the outlet of the combustor (5). The invention also concerns an installation for implementation of the said method.
Abstract:
The disclosure is concerned with generating power using new organic fuel that is generated at wastewater purification plants in the form of sewage sludge with moisture content up to 90-95%. The world supplies this new orgabic fuel in very high quantites that are estimated to be more than 25-40 gr of dry mass/man/day. The new composite fuel comprises a coal suspension with the new dispersed medium, which is the liquid sewage sludge. The composite fuel is introduced into a furnace for combustion and generating power.

Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a method for controlling an NOx concentration in an exhaust gas in a combustion facility that uses a pulverized coal, which can easily control the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas to be discharged from a fuel facility that uses the pulverized coal as the fuel to or below a regulation value according to the Air Pollution Control Law and the like, and can also reduce an amount of a denitrifying agent or the like to be used, which is necessary for the control, by controlling the NOx concentration on the basis of the properties of the pulverized coal beforehand. The invention further includes: measuring a reaction velocity of each of chars corresponding to a plurality of types of pulverized coals beforehand; determining a relationship between the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas and the reaction velocity in advance; blending the plurality of the types of the pulverized coals so that the reaction velocity of the char becomes such a value as to correspond to a target NOx concentration or below, on the basis of the relationship; and supplying the blended pulverized coal to the combustion facility as the fuel of the combustion facility.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present invention generally relate to a fuel composition, for example, that may be used as a fire starter for igniting barbecue charcoal, firewood, campfires, pellet stoves, and the like, and/or as a fuel material, e.g., for heating or cooking. A fuel composition is described in some embodiments that includes corn cob particles and/or other plant-derived particles in which a liquid fuel has been absorbed. The fuel composition may be used as a fuel material and/or to initiate combustion of a regular fuel material such as charcoal, firewood and pellet stove fuel.
