Abstract:
A furnace system for solid fuel includes a tower distributor (200) for addressing flow imbalance in a heterogeneous stream. The tower distributor comprises four sections: an inlet section (205), a mixer section (210), a recovery section (215) and an outlet section (220).
Abstract:
A fuel injector for use in a furnace causes a primary stream of a carrier gas and fuel to be mixed with heated air, oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and CO 2 or re- circulated flue gas, within the injector by a secondary stream of heated air, before the primary stream exits the injector as a fuel stream and flows into a combustion zone of the furnace. The interaction of the primary stream with the heated air of the secondary stream increases stoichiometry at the center of the fuel stream exiting the injector, so as to minimize NO x creation and maximize combustion of fuel in the furnace.

Abstract:
An Overfire Air (OFA) port design and method for use in a furnace system is disclosed. The OFA port design effectively reduces the amount of harmful pollutants emitted into the atmosphere upon discharge from an associated furnace.
Abstract:
A burner assembly cofires a primary solid fuel and a secondary solid fuel in a combustion zone (65) of a boiler. The burner assembly includes a fuel injector (100) that mixes the primary solid fuel and the secondary solid fuel prior to injection into the combustion zone (65) of the boiler (60). The primary solid fuel may be pulverized coal, pulverized petroleum coke, or the like, while the secondary solid fuel may be a biomass fuel or refuse-derived fuel.

Abstract:
A furnace system for solid fuel includes a tower distributor for addressing flow imbalance in a heterogeneous stream. The tower distributor comprises four sections: an inlet section, a mixer section, a recovery section and an outlet section. Illustratively, the inlet section includes a first elongated passageway where one, or more, input streams pass into the tower distributor. The mixer section receives the one, or more, input streams and mixes them together thereby creating turbulence while providing a single mixed stream to the recovery section. The recovery section includes an elongated passageway having a length sufficient for turbulence in the mixed heterogeneous stream to substantially subside as the mixed stream flows through the recovery section and exits to the outlet section as a laminar mixed stream. The outlet section provides the laminar mixed stream to multiple outlet pipes for transport to burners of the furnace system.
Abstract:
A fuel injector (10) for use in a furnace is provided. The fuel injector (10) is used to deliver pulverized fuel to a combustion chamber of a furnace. The structure of the fuel injector (10) facilitates efficient combustion while stabilizing the combustion flame. As a result, a minimal amount of NO X and other undesirable byproducts are released into the atmosphere.

Abstract:
An apparatus (26) for use in a furnace system to facilitate efficient and complete combustion of coal streams in a carrier gas. The apparatus (26) , capable of being positioned horizontally or vertically in the coal pipes (24, 24-1, 24-2) between the grinding mills (20) and the furnace burner (32), contains a plurality of adjustable blades (40, 41) that are movable between an open and closed position. The position of the adjustable blades and the differing geometric shapes of the apparatus housing (42) manipulate the amount and direction of coal streams in a carrier gas. This design reduces the amount of turbulent eddies in the pipe system, which helps to achieve a more homogenous flow of coal in a carrier gas and the efficient and complete combustion of coal in a carrier gas within the furnace burner (32).
