ABSTRACT: Coal Gasification Retrofit of Power Boilers for Improved Efficiency and SO2 and NOx Control by Castle Light PR Corp.
An advanced field-demonstrated Coal Gasification technology can retrofit Power Boilers for Improved Efficiency and SO2 and NOx Control. Called the Clean Combustion System (CCS), the CCS replaces the power boilers’ original coal-burners and wind box with a coal-gasification module. The CCS simply prevents the formation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), all within the boiler’s furnace volume. The only "chemical" is limestone. A bag house is needed for particulate control.
The CCS can retrofit all power boilers including cyclone, wall-fired, tangential and stoker designs, and may be capable of converting gas and oil-fired boilers to coal firing. The CCS has demonstrated excellent SO2 and NOx emissions control performance and is expected to meet EPA’s stringent new CAIR (Clean Air Interstate Rules) with both Western and Midwestern coals. Construction Permits for CCS boiler retrofit with waivers of NSPS, PSD (and no NSR) may be available. Castle Light PR Corp. is a technology management firm providing engineering and environmental consulting services. |
