Operating pulverized coal-fired boilers under low-load conditions presents several challenges. This article offers tips to keep units in the best possible operating condition. In today’s energy market ...

Coal plant operators have reasonably accurate knowledge of how much coal they are burning in any individual boiler, either by testing to determine the exact unit heat rate, or measuring the rate at ...

Once pulverized coal flows have been measured, they can be balanced and optimized. Until then, tuning is simply guesswork. The right way to balance furnace fuel flows is to establish solid baseline ...

Metso will convert a pulverized coal boiler to a biomass-fired boiler for Dalkia Łódź S. A. in Poland, raising renewable energy production for Dalkia’s plant in Łódź. The total value of the order is ...

There is currently a large dependence on coal for power generation. As coal-fired plants cause environmental and health hazards, technologies such as swirl flow and air staging have been proposed to ...

An international team of researchers analyzed the effectiveness of combining swirl flow and air staging technologies for improving combustion performance in and reducing pollution from coal-fired ...

Power giant Duke Energy is getting down and dirty as it spends more than $2 billion to upgrade its Cliffside Steam Station, in rural North Carolina, with advanced clean-coal technology. The builders ...

DOE programs addressed in this chapter—namely, coal preparation, coal-liquid mixtures, and coalbed methane recovery—currently constitute relatively minor components of the total DOE coal program.

The last of the three coal-fired monstrosities currently planned by the Bureau for eastern Nevada, the 750-megawatt Toquop coal plant would be sited on public lands in Lincoln County. This plant would ...
