Fuel Tech has recently completed full-scale demonstrations of Advanced Selective NonCatalytic Reduction systems on a number of large utility boilers (>600MW) firing a variety of fuel types. The systems use the latest flexible injection technology and are controlled with a balanced algorithm utilizing unit load, a full grid of continuous furnace temperatures and the plant continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS).

Fuel Tech has more installed SNCR applications than any other tec

Fuel Tech recently developed HClear™, an HCl abatement program that relies on the injection of an aqueous solution into combustion gas stream to react with gaseous HCl. This technology involves an aqueous solution that is injected into the flue gas, downstream of the economizer outlet. Upon injection of the aqueous solution into the flue gas stream, a molecular precursor contained within the aqueous solution decomposes to form particles with submicron diameters, analogous to spray dryin

KCP&L’s LaCygne Generating Station provides 1,532 MW of peak power to customers from the site south of Kansas City. LaCygne Unit 1 is an 815 MW B&W cyclone boiler with Over-Fire Air (OFA) and SCR NOx controls, and the second oldest WFGD installation in the country. LaCygne Unit 2 is a 717 MW B&W PC boiler with Low NOx Burners (LNB), OFA, and ESP particulate control. LaCygne1 burns a blend of 90% PRB and 10% local Missouri coal. Modifications are under way on both units

Catalyst costs can be more than $2 million per layer, and customers are seeking ways to better manage their budget while maintaining catalyst performance. Fuel Tech`s TIFI® Targeted In-Furnace Injection™ programs aid in the optimization of catalyst performance by managing slag, fouling, and ABS.  Minimizing the negative impacts of poor combustion while optimizing gas flow paths.  This case study written and presented in conjunction with Santee Cooper explores on the positi

The control of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is a well-known requirement for utility and industrial furnaces alike.  Although the regulations and corresponding emission limits vary greatly, the need for substantial reduction is becoming universal.  There are a few existing NOx reduction technologies which have been proven effective in a variety of applications.  The most appropriate solution for NOx reduction on any furnace application is to intelligently apply each of the proven techn
