Oxyfuel Coal Combustion Power Plant System Optimization

Oxyfuel-firing of a steam boiler is a low risk high-efficiency technique for CO2 capture in a power plant. Oxyfuel-firing can be readily adapted to a new power plant or to retrofit applications. Development and design of pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed oxyfuel boilers and balance of plant equipment have been conducted to identify the required specific features, which will maximize...

Interactive System for Pulverized Coal Combustion Visualization with Fluid Simulator

Designing pulverized coal combustion simulation and visualization systems is still a complex task. The current solutions, such as the commercial CFD packages are focused on the precision of the computation. Our solution is suited to the education and computer graphics area, where the precision does not take the first, but also not the last place. The main factor in our solution utilizes the int...

Mercury from Coal Combustion

A 1997 study in Minnesota indicated a relationship between mercury deposition trends and regional coal combustion (as well as other possible sources) spanning a period of two centuries (Engstrom and Swain 1997). Sediment core sampling from rural lakes in eastern Minnesota indicated a growth in mercury deposited from the air since the first half of the 1800s, with the amount peaking in the 1960s...
