OVERVIEW
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. Customized to each boiler's needs, CoalTreat® is applied to fuel before combustion and has a proven track record of providing:
- Enhanced efficiency with improved heat transfer and reduced boiler gas temperatures
- Reduced soot-blower-related outages
- Increased MW output by eliminating high load derating
- Reduced outage intervals, duration, and expense of cleaning during these outages
Join Robert Santangeli (VP Engineering and Operations) and Matthew Steen (Sr. Engineer) at EES, for this informative webinar. They’ll discuss essential topics for power plants aiming to optimize fuel chemistry, improve boiler operations, reduce emissions, and maximize fuel economics, including:
- 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
You'll also see sample case studies showcasing the application, performance, fuel flexibility, and economics of a CoalTreat® program applied to bituminous and/or sub-bituminous coal-fired boilers. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights to coal fuel additives.
*Attendees are encouraged to ask questions during the Q&A session of the webinar.
