Enhancing Boiler Performance and Fuel Flexibility with CoalTreat®
Coal fuel flexibility can be critical to generation power market competitiveness. Opportunity fuels can serve to both reduce cost or to ensure compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Many plants have switched to low-cost, high-sulfur coals like ILB and NAP for fuel savings and improved competitiveness while others are blending PRB coals to cost effectively meet emissions limits. Through reducing costs or providing emissions compliance, opportunity fuels can pose challenges related to boiler performance.
CoalTreat®, an innovative fuel chemistry solution from Environmental Energy Services (EES), effectively addresses slagging and fouling issues arising from non-design fuel combustion.
Specific topics will include:
- Fuel chemistry and history of additives
- How CoalTreat®:
- Reduces tenacious slag deposits
- Decreases fouling and tube wastage
- Improves heat transfer
- Reduces outage intervals and associated blasting/cleaning expense
- Utilizing High-Temperature Probe (HTP) testing, visual boiler inspections, and plant DCS data for performance optimization
- Expected ROI when implementing CoalTreat® for coal-fired power plants
