OVERVIEW
REQUEST FOR ACCESS FORM BELOW
Power plants and industrial facilities in Europe continue to face challenges in improving reliability and fuel flexibility while maintaining low maintenance costs. Changing market considerations require power plants to burn a wide range of fuels such as hard coal, lignite, biomass, and waste fuels to stay competitive. At the same time, tightening environmental regulations such as the BREF and IED impose stringent emission targets on plants. All these factors combined with an aging generation fleet requires plant operators to carefully plan boiler upgrades, modernization, retrofits, and optimization measures to ensure high reliability, availability & extended boiler life.
Sumitomo SHI FW brings extensive expertise in understanding and solving a range of solid fuel boiler performance issues on CFB, PC, stoker and BFB units. In this informative webinar, Timo Anttikoski, Director, TMU, Service will address capacity and process improvements and case studies optimizing and upgrading existing boilers for utilizing wider fuel range and to meet tightening emission limits. Ilkka Koskinen, Director, LTSA agreements, Service will address Long Term Service Agreements (LTSAs) and SmartBoiler™ services.
The webinar will cover the following topics:
Technology, Modernization & Upgrade (TMU) considerations for PC, BFB & CFB units such as:
Capacity upgrades & process improvements
Fuel expansion & conversions
Fuel flexibility through BFB/CFB/PC and biomass gasifier retrofits
Plant optimization studies, CFD and 3D modeling
Environmental retrofits (SNCR, SCR)
CFB Scrubber, DSI, Fabric Filter Retrofits to be discussed
Boiler Efficiency Improvements
SmartBoiler™ monitoring and diagnostics to reduce operating costs, increased availability, and extended boiler life
Long Term Service Agreements (LTSAs) offering tailor made solutions, state-of-the-art technology and on-demand resources to ensure optimal plant performance
Several case studies including:
Pulverized peat boiler conversion to BFB at Metsä Board Simpele Plant in Finland
Pulverized lignite boiler conversion to CFB at Steti Power Plant in Czech Republic
Largest CFB Scrubber Retrofit at the Basin Electric Dry Fork Station in USA
Environmental Retrofit, SCR added to an existing PC boiler in TSE Naantali, Finland
Fuel System Modifications at the Kemira Pigments Finland Coal Fired CFB
Retort Gas Combustion system added to CFB boiler in Enefit in Narva Estonia
This webinar will help energy facilities make informed decisions about taking preventive measures and adopting best practices in maintenance and engineering services to improve reliability, meet new environmental regulations and extend boiler life.
