OVERVIEW
Many coal fired power plants that were once base load units are now operating in load following mode due to the lower cost of natural gas supplies in the US.
Gas fired generation has moved up in the dispatch queue leaving coal plants looking for solutions that can improve capacity factors and profitability. Coal plants must improve heat rate without sacrificing availability or Air Pollution Control equipment performance.
This webinar, presented by Todd Melick, Vice President of PROMECON USA, Inc., will highlight the importance for power plants to measure & correlate data, balance & optimize combustion to achieve sustained improvement.
PROMECON is a solution based supplier of instrumentation technologies. PROMECON's instruments reliably measure key combustion parameters such as air/gas flow, coal flow and unburned carbon (UBC) and have hundreds of references worldwide.
This informative webinar will address the following topics:
Understanding combustion optimization
What measurements are important to monitor for efficiency improvement
The advantage of correlation measurement for gas flows versus other methods
The importance of reliable primary air measurements
Large duct multi zone airflow measurements and their applications
Coal flow monitoring to achieve air/fuel balance in your boiler
In this webinar you will also learn:
The benefit of knowing your UBC measurement
Using instrumentation to improve the performance of Air Pollution Control (APC) equipment
Understanding air flow measurements technologies for primary, secondary, tertiary, over fire air (OFA) and inner burner airflow dynamics
The advantage of MECONAIR in knowing your primary airflow in an exhauster mill application
