COMBUSTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM<br />

ThIS is a longer range energy conservatIon program requmng larger mvestments ofcapItal WhIch<br />

will accomplIsh larger fuel savmgs, improvements in efficIency and relIabIlity and lIfe extensIon<br />

of the bOIlers. It is beyond the scope of this audIt to provIde detaIls other than enumerate<br />

measures which could reduce mazut and gas co-firing by as much as 10-30% and possIbly<br />

achieve some reductIon of NO x , reduce S02 and <strong>part</strong>Iculate:<br />

• Improve burner desIgn and combustIon aIr flow configuration and temperature<br />

profiles.<br />

• Improve pulverized coal flow to minimize pulsatIon and excess oxygen vanatIons.<br />

• Repair boIler aIr leaks.<br />

• Develop new procedures for startup and shutdown cyclmg based on results of<br />

metallurgical testIng for creep and fatIgue lIfe.<br />

• Continue rehabilitation upgradmg of precIpItators (electrofilters).<br />

• Consider lIme or lImestone injection technology for reduction of S02, consIstent<br />

with fuel quality improvement program.<br />

• Upgrade mstrumentation for load control, fuel control, combustIon air and boiler<br />

pressure control.<br />

• Repair and/or replace (asbestos) msulatIOn on boilers.<br />

There are other studies which have been done or are being done, and It IS recommended that the<br />

results and recommendations be coordmated to prevent overlap or confllctmg tasks<br />

MEASURES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF RELIABILITY<br />

Additional equipment items WhICh were requested by the chIef engmeer and hIS specIalists WhICh<br />

are urgently needed for maintaimng reliability of the boilers and power plant are lIsted below:<br />

1.<br />

DESCRIPTION<br />

Infrared Temperature "Heat spy" used for locating<br />

sources of heat loss. Also useful for locatmg "hot<br />

spots" WhICh could lead to equipment faIlure, such as<br />

bearings, motor and generator wmdmgs, SWItchgear<br />

contacts, Iso-phase bus bar boltmg, etc.<br />
