Measuring Gases Produced by Waste Gasification to Improve Control and Efficiency
Waste gasification is a type of waste to energy process where waste material is used as a fuel to create heat, electricity or other chemical products. Specifically, in waste gasification, the waste material is decomposed in such a way to produce gaseous products, often known as syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.Conventional incineration uses heat and ...

World Coal - Global Coal Power Review
All combustion plant operators are aware of the need to report emissions of particulate matter to environmental regulators, and opacity monitoring remains the preferred technique in much of North American and Asia. Although more sensitive techniques are available, opacity monitors have a number of features which make them especially attractive, including the ability to calibrate the analyser ...

Relative Accuracy Testing of an X-Ray Fluorescence-Based Mercury Monitor at Coal-Fired Boilers
ABSTRACT The relative accuracy (RA) of a newly developed mercury continuous emissions monitor, based on X-ray fluorescence, was determined by comparing analysis results at coal-fired plants with two certified reference methods (American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM] Method D6784-02 and U.S. Environment Protection Agency [EPA] Method 29). During the first determination, the monitor had ...

Carbon 14 Major Power Industry Pollutant
Environmental scientists have identified Carbon 14, better known as C14, as a major radiological pollutant and a serious health hazard. Emitted from both coal-fired and nuclear power plants these contaminants have only recently been identified as a major cause of radiation exposure to the general public in proximity to these power plants. Additionally, some hospitals, universities, and ...

At the heart of every crematorium is the cremator
That’s why more and more crematory operators speak to us even before they draw up their plans Nothing makes more sense really does it? Yet you’d be surprised at just how often we are approached by a crematory operator, who, having designed the crematorium building itself, suddenly seems to realise that they need a cremator that will fit into the space allocated. Yes, of course, ...

CMSWIND - Case Study
Objective: The CMSWIND project consisted of the development of an advanced monitoring system for rotating components in wind turbines by means of the application of novel non-destructive testing techniques that were not previously being used in the wind sector. This new Condition Monitoring system improved component reliability by up to 50%, using a blend of vibration analysis (VA), motor ...

Coming along nicely our client travels from Jersey to inspect the progress of their new medical waste incinerator
We’ve often talked about how most of the waste incineration plant we manufacture is either personally customised or are bespoke projects that have been individually designed and built to meet specific requirements. When we are engineering ‘one-off’ units such as these it is quite normal for our clients to pay us a visit at our workshops in Hyde near Manchester, England just to ...

Experts in combustion control - Expert Paper
Fired heaters are integral to hydrocarbon processing (HP). Specifically designed for the reaction of fuel and air to produce extremely high gas temperatures, heaters transfer this energy to potentially highly flammable process fluids via heat exchangers. They consume large quantities of fuel, produce large quantities of emissions and are a potential safety hazard to personnel and plant. However, ...

An analysis of extinction coefficients of particles and water moisture in the stack after flue gas desulfurization at a coal-fired power plant
Two important factors that affect in-stack opacity—light extinction by emitted particles and that by water moisture after a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit—are investigated. The mass light extinction coefficients for particles and water moisture, kp and kw, respectively, were determined using the Lambert-Beer law of opacity with a nonlinear least-squares regression method. The ...

Permit Compliance Monitoring for the Power Generation Industry
The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 authorized EPA to develop regulations requiring facilities to monitor the adequacy of emission control equipment and plant operations. This paper discusses the various methods available for coal-fired power plants and gas turbine installations to demonstrate a reasonable assurance of facility compliance with emission limitations, and ensure that control ...
