摘要:
This invention discloses the synergistic integration of solid fuel combustion, low NOx control technologies (such as Low NOx Burners, reburning and Advanced Reburning) with partial in-duct gasification of coal or other solid fuels. For partial gasification, the solid fuel can be transported and injected by recycled flue gas stream at 600-800° F. in the reburning zone or in the upper section of the main combustion zone of a boiler. This allows the fuel to be preheated and partially pyrolyzed and gasified in the duct and then injected into the boiler as a mixture of coal, gaseous products, and char. Gasification increases coal reactivity and results in lower carbon-in-ash levels. As an option, the gaseous and solid products can be split using a cyclone separator. Splitting the gasified fuel stream will allow the volatile matter to be used for reburning and the fixed carbon to be injected into the high-temperature main combustion zone.

摘要:
A method for reducing mercury emissions in combustion flue gas is provided. The method includes combusting coal such that a flue gas flow is created. The flue gas flow includes at least mercury and carbon-containing fly ash. The method further includes cooling the flue gas flow within a duct and creating turbulence in the flue gas flow. The mercury is removed from the flue gas flow.
摘要:
A method for reducing an amount of mercury in flue gases generated by the combustion of coal is provided. The method includes combusting a quantity of coal and a quantity of air within a primary combustion area such that a fly ash containing carbon and elemental mercury is formed within the flue gases, supplying air to the primary combustion area such that a portion of the air is channeled to an overfire air burnout area downstream from the primary combustion area to facilitate increasing an amount of the carbon content in the fly ash, cooling the flue gases to facilitate oxidizing the elemental mercury using the carbon content in the fly ash, and injecting sorbent into the flue gases to facilitate further reducing the amount of mercury in the flue gases.
摘要:
A system for removing mercury from combustion gas. The system includes a combustion device, a stack, and a duct system that couples the combustion device to the stack. The system further comprises an injection system that is coupled to the duct system. The injection system injects sorbents including alkali-based sorbents and carbon-based sorbents into the duct system.
