Development of NOx Emission Model for a Tangentially Fired Acid Incinerator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to develop a NOx emission model of an acid gas incinerator using Nelder-Mead least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR). Malaysia DOE is actively imposing the Clean Air Regulation to mandate the installation of analytical instrumentation known as Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) to report emission level online to DOE . As a hardware based analyzer, CEMS is expensive, maintenance intensive and often unreliable. Therefore, software predictive technique is often preferred and considered as a feasible alternative to replace the CEMS for regulatory compliance. The LS-SVR model is built based on the emissions from an acid gas incinerator that operates in a LNG Complex. Simulated Annealing (SA) is first used to determine the initial hyperparameters which are then further optimized based on the performance of the model using Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm. The LS-SVR model is shown to outperform a benchmark model based on backpropagation neural networks (BPNN) in both training and testing data. Keywords—artificial neural networks, industrial pollution, predictive algorithms, support vector machines

Development of a Mathematical Model for Prediction of Pollutants Emission in D. I. Diesel Engines
Major pollutants emission from Direct-Injection (D.I) diesel engines are predicted by means of a mathematical model. In order to construct such a model, an integral Multi-Zone Combustion Model (MZCM) is formulated, which basically consists of jet mixing and combustion submodels. In MZCM, variation of injection pressure is considered. Also time period of ignition delay is predicted by considerin...

The Comanche Station is located in Pueblo, CO and consists of three dry-bottom, pulverized coal-fired boilers, two tangentially-fired (Units 1 & 3) and one wall-fired (Unit 2). Units 1 and 2 are considered BART-eligible. Unit 1 commenced operation in 1972 and serves a generator rated at 325 MW. Unit 2 commenced operation in 1975 and serves a generator rated at 335 MW. The boilers burn sub-bitum...

A number of field test data from a full-scale operatin...
متن کاملTHE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGH NITROGEN MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COMPONENTS AND NOx
There is a widely held belief that fuel bound nitrogen is the principal source of incinerator NOx emissions. This belief leads to the theory that removing high nitrogen com ponents like food and yard and garden waste will reduce NOx emissions even though incinerators typically release 75 to 90 percent of the fuel bound nitrogen as diatomic nitrogen gas rather than NOx• This paper explores the ...
