Topics presented in the webinar will include:

  • Technology, Modernization & Upgrade (TMU) considerations for CFB, BFB & PC units such as:

    • Capacity upgrades & process improvements

    • Boiler efficiency improvements

    • Plant optimization studies, CFD and 3D modeling

    • Environmental retrofits (SNCR, SCR)

    • CFB Scrubber, DSI, and Fabric Filter Retrofits

  • Benefits of Long-Term Service Agreements (LTSAs) in providing tailor made solutions, state-of-the-art technology and on-demand resources to ensure optimal plant performance

  • SmartBoiler™ technology application for monitoring and diagnosis to reduce operating costs, increase availability, and extend boiler life

This webinar will help energy facilities make informed decisions about taking preventive measures and adopting best practices in maintenance and engineering services to improve reliability, meet new environmental regulations and extend boiler life.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • Can step grids be installed on both CFB and BFB boilers?

  • How long does it take to mobilize an on-site support team if an LTSA is in place?

  • Do you perform lifetime calculations for boiler pressurized parts? Which method do you apply to estimate the remaining lifetime?

  • What relative FGR is required for around 20%-25% NOx reduction?

  • Is there any economic benefit to replacing fuel to natural gas in a CFB boiler compared to a new CCPP?

  • Has SFW been involved with the design and conversion of any coal-fired CFB units to natural gas firing, and how does the heat transfer modeling take place?
