N2O emissions from coal fired fluidized-bed combustion are approximately 30–360 mg/Nm, much higher than that from pulverized coal combustion (less than 30 mg/Nm). One approach to reduce the N2O is to reburn the biomass gasification gas in the coal-fired fluidized bed. In this paper, the effects of gasified biomass reburning on the integrated boiler system were investigated by both simulation an...

The power generation companies have to seek more superior and sophisticated technologies in order to gain an edge on their competitors owing to continually rising demands by environmental and governmental authorities and consumers. Intelligent Combustion Optimization is a proven methodology to accomplish plant performance improvements, boiler efficiency increase and reduction in emissions. The ...

biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

We model a steam-boiler control system using hybrid automata. We provide two abstracted linear models of the nonlinear behavior of the boiler. For each model, we de ne and verify a controller that maintains the safe operation of the boiler. The less abstract model permits the design of a more e cient controller. We also demonstrate how the tool HyTech can be used to automatically synthesize con...

Recovery of both latent heat and condensate from boiler flue gas is significant for improving boiler efficiency and water conservation. The condensation experiments are carried out to investigate the simultaneous heat and mass transfer across the nanoporous ceramic membranes (NPCMs) which are treated to be hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces using the semicontinuous supercritical reactions. Th...

The boiler drum level control unit is one of the main parameter in the thermal power station. Currently the boiler drum parameters are monitored only by using MATLAB software. There is no automatic control available. In the proposed system the boiler drum parameters such as temperature level, pressure level, water level and Droplet identifier are measured and controlled by using embedded proces...
