Plan for Obtaining Data Required for Retrofitting Burners to Industrial Fuel Gas. Part I. Technical Plan for Combustion System Data (Deliverable No. 44)

摘要

At the outset of Contract No. ET-77-C-01-2582, it was recognized that most but not all natural gas customers could use the product of the Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant. It was further recognized that, for some of the processes, retrofit information and performance data would have to be developed to make the change possible. Consequently, the program work plan includes Task IX-7, Distribution and Utilization Characteristics of Gas Output. The purposes of this task are: (a) to determine which industrial customers and processes can use the output gas, (b) to identify the required information and performance data necessary for the change, (c) to develop the information and data not available from other sources, and (d) to provide assistance to burner manufactures and current MLGW customers preparing to use the output gas. The total scope of Task IX-7 and the level of effort required are a function of both the type and number of customers. This could not be determined prior to initiation of the contract; consequently, Task IX-7 was proposed as a two-part effort. Under the current contract, a preliminary evaluation of potential MLGW customers and their processes was funded and completed as the first step. This evaluation determined which customers and processes could use the output of the Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant. It also identified what information and performance data were needed to achieve the changeover. (ERA citation 05:037469)
