Coal fired power in the U.S. and Europe shaped by regulations
Tony Licata provided a good summary of the impact of environmental regulations on coal fired power. He observes that the economic pressures of compliance with the MATS rule and the price of natural gas available for power generation have directly resulted in the closure of more than 30 GW of coal-fired capacity. As a result, there have been regional shortages of fly ash sold to the cement industry. This shortage has caused fly ash to be imported from China in some cases. However, certain high-uranium coal deposits in China produce fly ash that is too radioactive for reuse.

Power from Biomass to Grow 250% in 10 Years
Combustion of biomass poses a number of problems, particularly in utility scale boilers. The circulating fluidised bed has features that control ash agglomeration, fouling, and corrosion, and therefore make it particularly suitable for biomass applications, with inherent characteristics that favour low emissions. The technology also has considerable potential for scale up, and adoption of greatly improved steam conditions say Robert Giglio and Timo Jäntti of Sumitomo SHI FW Worldwide power generation capacity using woody biomass and agricultural biomass wastes is projected to grow by a factor of more than 2.5 from 2015 to 2025. Since 2008, over twenty 100% biomass fuelled CFB plants employing Sumitomo SHI FW technology have been commissioned. The largest operating utility scale ABC installation to date, the 205 MWe Polaniec plant of GDF Suez Energia Polska plant, located in Poland, has been in commercial operation since 2012.

Maintaining High Combined Cycle HRSG Efficiency and Reliability
This article in Power Engineering by Brad Buecker of Kiewit addresses chemical treatment of HRSG feedwater. During the heyday of coal-fired power plant construction and operation in the last century, many lessons were learned regarding correct water/steam chemistry control in high-pressure, fossil-fuel steam generators. Even seemingly minor issues had the potential to cause serious problems, and some corrosion-induced failures led to injuries and death of plant personnel. Progress in transferring these lessons to the combined cycle power industry has often been slow, and a number of outdated chemistry concepts continue to appear in the specifications for new combined cycle plants. Some problems are magnified by the unique geometrical features of heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) as compared to their coal unit counterparts. This article will examine three of the most important issues in this regard, as outlined below: • Unless the condensate/feedwater system of the HRSG contains copper alloys (very rare), an oxygen scavenger should not be part of the chemical treatment program. Use of oxygen scavengers, a more accurate term is reducing agent, induces flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) of plain carbon steel. FAC has caused catastrophic piping and tube failures at a number of facilities over the last three decades, and it continues to occur at many plants. • Tri-sodium phosphate has served as the primary chemical for boiler water treatment in many base-loaded coal units, and the chemistry is often employed in HRSGs. Even at steady load, phosphate treatment is problematic due to the phenomenon known as phosphate hideout. In cycling units, hideout may make phosphate chemistry extremely difficult to control. • While a strong focus should always be placed on operating chemistry, off-line chemistry control is frequently neglected. Air in-leakage into water-filled steam generator networks during down times can significantly damage tubes, piping, turbine blades and rotors, and other equipment. Given the regular cycling nature of most power plants in today's environment, the potential for air ingress and subsequent corrosion may be extensive.

New Approach Allows Suppliers to Reach 50 percent of the World’s Power Generation Market
Large utilities are expanding through merger and acquisition. As a result, 100 power generators around the world buy more than 50 percent of the products and services. These operators are expanding into wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and other renewable fuels. They have distributed generation initiatives. Many are making major investments to meet new environmental regulatory requirements. There are thousands of challenging decisions which have to be made. A new program is creating a unique path for decision makers to combine the hurry-up habits of the IPhone and Facebook with the wisdom of “wise crowd” decisions. The program for the first utility is now available. Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) includes PacifiCorp, NV Energy, Mid-American, BHE Renewables, Northern and Kern River Pipeline. The two pipeline companies transport 7 percent of the natural gas in the U.S. The power companies operate coal, gas, hydro, solar, geothermal, biomass, wind and other renewables generators. McIlvaine now has Berkshire Hathaway Energy Supplier and Utility Connect to be used by suppliers as well as BHE personnel. It has details on every one of the hundreds of power generators within the system. It fulfills the 4 knowledge needs: Alerts, Answers, Analysis and Advancement. It combines 44I Power Plant Air Quality Decisions (Power Plant Decisions Orchard) and 59D Gas Turbine and Reciprocating Engine Decisions with the custom BHE program. This includes interfacing with hundreds of BHE people indirectly through the Alerts, case histories, etc., and directly through large and small webinars

Custom Websites for Power Plants are the Next Step to achieve the Interconnectivity of People
The power industry has been challenged to progress at the “hurry up” pace endemic to Silicon Valley. One of the cited routes is the utilization of the interconnectivity among machines. However, this progress requires better interconnectivity of people. McIlvaine has introduced a free internet decision system for power plants based around separate websites for gas turbines/reciprocating engines and coal-fired power. The value of this system to a power plant has been demonstrated at PacifiCorp where use of the system along with a series of five webinars has shown the way to lower cost NOx control for four coal-fired units. The decisive classification tools in the system were important but the insights from the “wise crowd” have been equally important. McIlvaine is now taking the next step in interconnectivity with a website and decision system for all the Berkshire Hathaway (BH) generation plants. The website includes …

Power Plant and Energy Projects Should Be Tracked from Inception
Fossil-fired power plants, refineries, gas-to-liquids, LNG and petrochemical plants are large investments. Initial decisions about suppliers are first made years in advance of the bid specification release. These decisions can be reversed by persuasive suppliers but it is much better to make the case prior to a tentative decision. McIlvaine supplies weekly and biweekly alerts to help suppliers ensure that they are heard at the earliest appropriate time. Coal, gas and diesel-fired power plant projects take years to develop from initial concept to actual operation. Decisions about sub systems are typically made two years before operation for a small gas turbine or diesel plant. These decisions for large coal-fired power plants are made three years in advance or earlier. On the other hand, decisions can be altered due to unforeseen events. The 3960 MW Saurashtra power plant in India is a project which has been underway for nearly seven years. The first two 660 MW units for Saurashtra are slated for 2019 start up. The new air pollution regulations will require 30 mg/Nm3 for particulate compared with 50 mg/Nm3, FGD for units 1 and 2 at 92 percent versus only provision for FGD in the existing permit. NOx emissions will be limited to 100 mg/Nm3 which would require more than 80 percent reduction. So any decisions relative to air pollution control systems have to be reviewed and new systems incorporated.

Yes, Landfill Gas Engines Will Produce More Poison Ivy but also More Tomatoes
A New York Times article warns of the impending growth of poison ivy. Yes, but this fertilization effect of CO2 has been put to good use by thousands of greenhouses around the world. GE, Cummins and other engine manufacturers are actively pursuing CHP projects which provide greenhouses with electricity, heat, light and CO2. Is it better to increase the production of tomatoes or retard the growth of poison ivy? The Southcoast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) struggled with this question in the recent analysis of the 1110.2 biogas emission amendment. The question is whether landfill gas engines would be a better choice than just flaring. The Beverly Hills estate owner who can easily buy whatever tomatoes are desired but is struggling to keep poison ivy under control will have a completely different value judgment than a starving child in Sudan. Should SCAQMD prioritize the desires of its residents above those of the starving people in the world? The answer is “Yes.” But this does not mean that every government in the world should reflect the values of SCAQMD residents. There is a broader implication …

Ten Power Generators Will Purchase 50 Percent of the Mercury Reduction Products and Services In 2016
Mercury reduction is being accomplished by the addition of activated carbon, bromine or other chemicals. With the new air toxic rules requiring U.S. power plants to meet levels as low as 3 µg/m3 sales of these chemicals will be substantial. Worldwide sales for chemicals to reduce mercury will exceed $1 billion. The electricity generator (EG) expenditures will be over $800 million. Just ten EGs will spend an average of $40 million each and will account for over 40 percent of world purchases. Thirty-two EGs will account for 75 percent of the purchases by EGs and 60 percent of the total mercury reduction expenditures.

Power Plants Will Spend $8 Billion for Valves In 2016
Power plant valve purchases will remain at a high level thanks to continued construction of new coal-fired power plants in China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan. Despite the fact that Japan was the host of the original greenhouse gas reduction convention (Kyoto Protocol), the country is planning 40 new coal-fired power plants. Old coal-fired power plants will be retired, so CO2 emissions will not be increased. The EU also is building new coal-fired power plants to replace higher emitting old power plants. In Asia, the need for new electricity and the lack of natural gas are the big drivers. Next year nearly 50 percent of the $8 billion power plant valve expenditures will be by East Asian power generators. NAFTA will be the second largest region thanks to construction of new gas turbine combined cycle power plants. These forecasts are provided in Industrial Valves: World Market.

HVOF Coating Case Study for Power Plant Process Control Ball Valve Applications
This is a case study of the failure of the coating on an on-off metal-seated ball valve (MSBV) used in supercritical steam lines in a power plant. The valves are exposed to rapid high-pressure and -temperature variations resulting in cracking and cohesive failure of the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) 80/20 Cr3C2-NiCr coating. It was found that carbide precipitation is a major factor causing embrittlement of the coating.

Under the Proposed Clean Power Plan, Natural Gas, then Renewables, Gain Generation Share
In June 2014, EPA issued its proposed Clean Power Plan to regulate CO2 emissions from existing power plants. In May 2015, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued an analysis of the impacts of the proposed rule, along with this summary. According to EIA’s analysis, the main compliance strategy will be to increase natural gas-fired generation to displace coal-fired generation. Later, after 2020, as more wind and solar capacity are added, renewable generation will also surpass coal-fired generation.

Electric Fuel Control Valve Streamlines Plant Operations
A Frame 6B-powered cogen plant in California was plagued with fuel-gas valve problems, usually requiring at least a man-shift’s worth of work each outage to disassemble, clean seats/plugs, and reassemble. One solution is to reheat the fuel gas to above the dew point (120-130F) in between the valves, but this is considered far from ideal. The better solution proved to be replacing the original valve with a “smart” electric control valve in the same location as the original and a separate solenoid-operated stop/isolation valve about 6 ft upstream—just outside and below the turbine enclosure.

Converting from Hydraulic to All-Electric Gas Control Valves Benefits Frame 6 Owners
Young & Franklin valves have been in use on Frame 6 gas turbines for a decade. One advantage of an all-electric control valve is that it eliminates varnish issues by eliminating the control oil required by hydraulic actuators. Plus, electric valves are more responsive than hydraulically operated valves, have greater range, are easier to maintain, and enhance plant safety.

Water-Cooled Check Valves Boost Reliability of 7FA Liquid Fuel System
Owners/operators of dual-fuel gas turbines often experience coking problems with standard liquid-fuel check valves. After switching from oil to gas, the oil remaining in check valves, which are located close to the combustors, is exposed to high temperature. Water-cooled check valves for the liquid-fuel circuit can help to alleviate the problem.

Hundreds of Options Facing Power Plants Purchasing New or Upgrading Wet Calcium FGD Systems
The wet calcium (lime and limestone) process is only one option for removing SO2. Dry systems, ammonium sulfate, seawater, amine and other processes are also alternatives. Assuming that the purchaser has decided to purchase a new or upgrade an existing wet calcium FGD system, he must then make hundreds of decisions about processes and components. These systems represent up to 15 percent of the entire power plant investment. So it is important that all options be considered and the best selected. Power Plant Air Quality Decisions is a program providing utilities with a continuing and thorough analysis of issues and options. The first set of options involves system design…

SO3 Poses New Challenges and Opportunities for Power Plants
SO3 is a pollutant but it is injected into flue gas to improve particulate control. However, SO3 interferes with mercury capture. It is unintentionally created by SCR catalysts. It is the major component of condensibles in total particulate. SO3 control is key to a new approach to power plant efficiency improvement. Power plant decisions need to consider all the economic, operational and environmental impacts for each potential approach involving SO3. A number of decision trees need to be navigated and then revisited. The best route can be likened to GPS guidance. McIlvaine has created a system for making all power plant air quality decisions: 44I Power Plant Air Quality Decisions. A fast track decision tree on SO3 has just been posted in the system.

Chinese Coal-to-Liquids and Gas Program Could Completely Change the World Energy Markets
China will increase LNG imports. Some predict imports of 110 billion cubic meters per year (BCM) by 2020. However, the cost of LNG is presently $16/MMBtu. This is an expensive fuel source when China has domestic options including coal-to-gas, underground coal gasification, and coal bed methane. China is therefore changing focus and is pursuing these alternatives. The biggest program includes building plants in the western and northern coal fields which will convert coal to gas. This gas will be piped across country and provide clean burning fuel for major eastern cities. It is the avowed solution to the smog problem. The reason for a huge coal-to-gas program is the low cost of the product from a reliable domestic source. Here are the cost components: …

More Dry scrubber analysis from Kiewit
See previous articlesfor details but here is more: For the CFBs, a typical approach temperature is 30°F to 40°F, while for the NID a tighter approach of 25°F to 30°F is more common. Because the temperature is still maintained above saturation, reactor materials of construction are typically carbon steel. Type 316 L stainless steel is often used for specialty components such as water injection nozzles and some lime hydrator parts.

How to Reduce Catalyst Lifecycle Cost, Improve Reliability
Balancing the requirements of each SCR system in the fleet can be challenging. A system can reduce NOx by greater than 95%, but when the efficiency of the SCR is pushed beyond 85% and—or, if—the outlet emissions are less than 5 ppm, the system becomes much more sensitive to several independent system parameters. These include overall catalytic potential, effective ammonia injection/mixing in the flue-gas stream, flue-gas characteristics for inlet NOx, velocity, and temperature distributions.

Nuclear Power Plants Will Spend $1.6 Billion for Valves Next Year
Nuclear power plants use thousands of valves. Older power plants need to replace and repair valves and in some cases to upgrade them to meet new safety standards. This has created a world market which will exceed $1.6 billion in 2014. This is the conclusion reached in the new McIlvaine report, Nuclear Power Plant Valve Forecast and Analysis.

FGD and New Plant Projects at Southern as of July 30, 2012
Southern Co. said on July 25, 2012 that it plans to shut down about 4,000 MW of older coal-fired power plants, to continue operating 13,000 MW of coal-fired power plants, and to switch about 3,000 MW to run on low-priced natural gas from other fuels. Southern said it expects to spend nearly $1 billion less than previously planned on pollution-control equipment at its coal-fired power plants, thanks to changes that the Environmental Protection Agency made to its final rules limiting mercury and other emissions from coal-fired power plants. The changes provided utilities with more flexibility in the ways they can meet the new limits. Southern said it now expects to spend about $1.8 billion on pollution controls from 2012 through 2014.

Neumann Systems to Extract Rare Earth Metals from Flyash
Outside the Ray Nixon Power Plant south of Colorado Springs sits 3.3 million tons of coal ash the remnant of three decades of coal-fired power generation. Nationwide, 20 percent of flyash, is recycled into concrete. However, since the 80,000 to 100,000 tons of flyash produced each year by Colorado Springs Utilities’ two coal-fired power plants doesn’t consistently meet construction industry standards, it collects in a landfill that grows by hundreds of tons every day.

This article highlights Hanovia and how they have successfully used UV to reduce total organic carbon (boiler feedwater) for Kaeng Khoi 2 Power Plant in Thailand. This is a gas-fired thermal power plant generating capacity of 1468 MW, 7.5% of Thailand's total power consumption. The facility was designed to meet Thai and World Bank environmental regulations and the the electricity being generated is sold to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under a 25 year power purchase agreement. A key component to the success of this project was the elimination of TOC from boiler feedwater which can vary greatly. It was found that UV can break down trace organics which cannot be removed by other processes. The original source of the boiler feeder water for this plant is from a local river, which is stored in a raw water pond before being pumped into the water treatment plant. There are two medium pressure UV chambers used for treatment at this plant which have been very effective in addressing the seasonally varying feed water quality. The two Hanovia UV chambers treat a combined water flow of up to 400m3 per hour. Actual TOC input to the UV chambers is 183ppb and output is 58ppb - a 68% reduction which is well below the required minimum required concentration.

Construction of small hydropower stations in a central China nature reserve has triggered worries among locals over the ecosystem damage to the best reserved forest zone in the country's hinterland. The development of hydropower in Shennongjia forest district in Hubei Province dates back to the 1970s, when the region's government encouraged locals to use hydropower as an alternative to wood as fuel for better preservation of forests. However, hydropower stations are a double-edged sword, said Liu Shengce, deputy secretary-general of the forest district's Communist Party committee. On one hand, forest resources have been well preserved as fewer trees fell, Liu said. However, rivers in the forest district have been cut off after nearly 100 small hydropower stations were built. Yao Chucheng is one of the locals frustrated with the reservoirs. The 42-year-old has invested about one million yuan ($156,250 U.S. dollars) over the past six years on fish farming by the river of Guchong that runs through his village of Changfang in the forest district. A hydropower station under construction on the upper stream of the river threatens Yao's business. The 25,000-kilowatt hydropower station by Shennong Green Valley Hydropower Company will cut off the water supply to Yao's fish farm when it commences operation. In 2006, the government of the forest district stopped approving hydropower stations below 3,000 kilowatts and vowed to shut down 38 small stations before 2020. Yet no stations have been closed since, as they are indispensable in providing cheap electricity to locals. Liu Shengce said the government needs to work on a compensation plan for locals to pay for their losses if the hydropower stations are closed and demolished. "Also, locals will involve themselves in the protection of the nature reserve only if they benefit from the protection," Liu said.

Dow HDPE water pipe for nuclear power plant
As this was to be the first ever use of HDPE in a safety-related water pipe system at a nuclear plant in North America, the team at Callaway had to create a material specification and related procedures from scratch. In the process, they underwent a change in mindset from focusing on what was available to specifying what was really needed. Most importantly, Callaway engineers began to work closely with members of the HDPE pipe value chain. These players included The Dow Chemical Co. (Dow) as the HDPE supplier, WL Plastics Corp. as the pipe manufacturer, and Independent Pipe Products Inc. for the manufacture of special pipe fittings. The consultant, Frank Schaaf, Jr. of Sterling Refrigeration Corp., was also instrumental in the work necessary to gain approvals from the NRC. Callaway team selected CONTINUUM DGDA-2492 Bimodal Polyethylene Resin from Dow as the raw material for its new ESW secondary water pipe system. According to the team at Callaway, this installation is a first important step toward HDPE becoming a preferred material for safety-related water pipe systems at nuclear power stations. AmerenUE is already planning to replace other buried piping with HDPE in other systems in 2009.
