Full scale demonstration of low-NO(sub x) cell burner retrofit. Public design report

摘要

The overall objective of the Full-Scale Demonstration of Low-NO(sub x) Cell Burner Retrofit project is to demonstrate the cost-effective reduction of NO(sub x) generated by a large based-loaded (70% capacity factor or greater), coal-fired utility boiler. Specific objectives include: (1) At least 50% NO(sub x) reduction over standard two-nozzle cell burners, without degradation of boiler performance or life; (2) Acquire and evaluate emission and boiler performance data before and after the retrofit to determine NO(sub x) reduction and impact on overall boiler performance; (3) Demonstrate that the retrofit of Low-NO(sub x) Cell Burners in boilers currently equipped with cell burners, is a cost-effective alternative to any other emerging, or commercially-available, NO(sub x) control technology.
