Mark Schoenfield, Senior Vice-President of Operations and General Counsel of Jupiter Oxygen Corporation, discussed an oxy-combustion retrofit option using a high flame temperature combustion process currently used in industrial melting furnaces. The process results in ultra-low NOx emissions, uses 5-15 percent less fuel and eliminates the need to separate CO2 from nitrogen. So far, Jupiter Oxygen has completed two successful oxy-combustion retrofits. Their Indiana test facility includes an Integrated Pollutant Removal (IPR) system with mercury, sulfur and particulate removal, as well as carbon capture. Mark said an oxy-combustion retrofit with IPR would meet current Clean Air Act requirements and be “capture ready” at a third of the cost of building a new plant. |
