Topics presented in the webinar will include:

  • Full conversion project drivers:

    • Capital / maintenance costs

    • Emissions reduction

    • Improvements in reliability and operation

  • Solid fuel with gas co-firing specific advantages:

    • Improved safety on start-up

    • Better load swing response

    • Less downtime due to solid fuel supply disruption

  • Vertically fired vs. horizontally fired conversions – key considerations

  • Advantages of achieving high turndown and fast load response with gas firing

In this informative webinar, Jim Feese, Burner Group Director for Detroit Stoker Company, will review key project drivers and performance benefits for both complete conversions from coal to gas and solid fuel with gas co-firing, specifically for solid fuel boilers up to 500 MM Btu/hr in size.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • Can you integrate into an existing BMS, or is BMS conversion necessary?What is more effective, Forced FGR or Induced FGR?

  • Has DSC done any CFB boiler coal-to-gas conversions? What modeling capabilities are required to consider a 550 MMBTU/hr heat input CFB with a 25' wide, 14' deep, and 60' tall boiler producing 1250 psig at 900 degrees?

  • Have you used any modifications to implement OFA for additional NOx removal?

  • Do you generally get the boiler OEM involved?

  • The low-NOX gas-fired burners have bigger, bushy flames compared to conventional (higher NOx) burners. Isn't it a challenge to accommodate the bigger, bushy flames of low-NOx burners into the existing firebox envelope with respect to the risk of flame impingement on the tubes?

  • Have you ever completed a natural gas and waste sludge project (papermill application)?
