Technology

1. Fuel Input
Fuel and limestone are fed into the combustion chamber of the boiler while air (primary and secondary) is blown in to “fluidize” the mixture. The fluidized mixture burns at a relatively low temperature and produces heat. The limestone absorbs sulfur dioxide (SO2), and the low-burning temperature limits the formation of nitrogen oxide (NOX ) – two gases associated with the combustion of solid fuels.

2. CFB Boiler
Heat from the combustion process boils the water in the water tubes turning it into high-energy steam. Ammonia is injected into the boiler outlet to further reduce NOX emissions.

3. Cyclone Collector
The cyclone is used to return ash and unburned fuel to the combustion chamber for re-burning, making the process more efficient.

4. State-of-the-Art Air Quality Control System
After combustion, lime is injected into the “polishing scrubber” to capture more of the SO2. A “baghouse” (particulate control device) collects dust particles (particulate matter) that escape during the combustion process. Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) will be installed upstream of the fabric filter to enhance the removal of mercury and HAP’s.

5. Steam Turbine
The high-pressure steam spins the turbine connected to the generator, which converts mechanical energy into electricity.

6. Transmission Lines
The electricity produced from the steam turbine/generator is routed through substations along transmission lines and delivered to distribution systems for customer use.
