Cool & Hot 11. May 2010 - Paris Boiler conversion to biomass 11-05-2010
Conversion from eg. coal to biomass? Why? Biomass option is feasible! Biomass saves CO 2 emissions. Conv.: Much cheaper than totally new plant Conv.: Shorter installation time than new plant.. Why not? Rest life time to short Possible solution?
Energi Randers - 1982 Energi Randers Produktion: 1982 Fuel: Coal Fuel heat input 2 x 95 MW Electrical power up to 52 MW District heating power up to 110 MW Main steam 111 bar - 525 C 11-05-2010 Not only Know How also Know Why
Getting confidence with biomass First step: Get experience with biomass at a low price (investment & operation costs) Cheap dusty fuel was available on the market: Olive stones / kernels, shea nuts, rape seed extraction, bio-pellets, meat and bone meal, other residues from process industries AET selected as supplier: 2003 AET dust firing system Up to 25 % biomass
AET Dust Firing System Very sturdy and robust system: High fuel flexibility Many used fuels Insensitive to fuel sizing Accurate fuel dosing Scale mass flow Batch filling Individual Dust Firing Lines Pneumatic fuel transport Safety against back fire Equipment outdoor ATEX 11-05-2010 Not only Know How also Know Why
Having confidence Second step Full fuel flexibility: 100 % coal 100 % biomass Any mix in between (e.g. 10 % coal and 90 % biomass) Biomass case is there Thermal calculation inspection conclusion Challenge: Change a well functioning coal boiler to 100 % biomass and continue to have 100 % coal without changing the coal boiler performance AET selected as supplier: 2008 Full installation for biomass full fuel flexibility
Design of the biomass plant
AET Dual-Fuel Spreader Injection of two fuels: Biomass Coal Uniform fuel injection in the furnace through: Adjustment of the distribution plate Pulsating air supply (butterfly valve) Adjustment of spreader air pressure Advantages: Best fuel distribution on the grate (fully covered grate surface) High degree of fuel burn-out Low emissions 11-05-2010 Not only Know How also Know Why
Specific changes at Energi Randers Re-use: Boiler pressure parts Firing grate Terteriary air system (former secondary air system) Upgrades: Furnace size & residence time: prolongation of the furnace: New duel fuel spreaders Secondary air system New Indenpendent control of air systems Flue gas recirculation: Primary air: Nox reduction adn improve superheater characteristics at coal Secondary air system: improvee superheating characteristic) Re-injection of unburnt carbon Extra heating surface
Energi Randers - today Energi Randers Produktion: 1982/2003/2008 Fuel: Combination 0-100% coal and 100-0% biomass (Olive stones, shea nuts, rape seed extraction, bio-pellets, meat and bone meal, wood chips ) Fuel heat input 2 x 95 MW Electrical power up to 52 MW District heating power up to 110 MW Main steam 111 bar - 525 C Firing systems (per boiler): Wood / coal at 4 spreader Dust on 3 DFS max 95 MW max 36 MW 11-05-2010 Not only Know How also Know Why
