money available, recommendatIOns were then made as to whether to Implement the Items
studied.
The main components of the equipment are:
• Enerac combustIOn analyzer
• Portable computer and printer
• Fluke power analyzer
• "Heat Spy" Infrared temperature detectorlIndIcator
Of this equipment, the most sIgnificant was the Enerac CombustIOn Analyzer WhICh showed a
potential immediate fuel savings by tuning the boilers to reduce excess combustIOn aIr and
mcrease boIler efficiency.
The majority of the eqUIpment was used extensively by the audit team and as a trainmg tool for
the plant personnel. TypICally, the audIt team would separate during the day, wIth each member
responsible for data collection, etc. Each member would usually be accompamed by three to
six SpecIalIstS, for the purpose of observmg and answenng questIOns, etc.
4.1.2 General
The Burshtyn power plant was selected by USAID/KIEV in consultation wIth the Mimstry of
Energy and Electrification. The MImstry also identified the management of the facIhty as
receptive to this type of program and felt that the maximum benefit could be gained by working
at Burshtyn.
4.1.3 BOller Efficiency
The specIfic plant audit consisted primarily of on-hne flue gas emIssion measurements usmg
Enerac 2000 portable combustion analyzer, laptop computer and pnnter. Measurements were
made on two boilers, Boiler #4 and BOller #5 burmng coal and natural gas.
The Enerac 2000 portable combustion analyzer IS an instrument WhICh has chemIcal cells to
measure oxygen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dIoxide, oxides of mtrogen content and combustible
gases. The umt also has a type K thermocouple mcorporated m the probe to measure the
temperature of the gas at the extractIOn point. The fuel analySIS of 15 VarIOUS typICal fuels are
contained in the memory of the portable analyzer. Also, custom fuel analySIS can be
programmed usmg a laptop computer. Enerac 2000 portable combustion analyzer calculates,
displays and prints boiler efficiency, excess air, CO 2 and emissions.
Flue gas samples for block 4 boilers were taken at the same locatIons where the eXIstIng RUSSIan
extractive type analyzers are connected. Therefore, the "stack" temperature readmgs are not
representative. However, the flue gas constItuent O 2 and CO are directly measured, except CO 2
WhIch IS calculated based on fuel analySIS and the measured oxygen content. This 200 MW rate
umt was burnmg about 95 % Polsky coal with about 5% gas at a maximum derated output of 165
MW. The Enerac 2000 portable combustIOn analyzer readmgs for oxygen corresponded close
to the oxygen readmgs from the eXIstmg RUSSIan analyzers.
