MATS Mercury and HCl Control Requires More Power to the ESP and Careful Consideration of ESP Design Details

This paper discusses three projects in which low ripple three-phase power supplies (TPPS) were used as part of the solution in reducing the ESP PM emissions. TPPS have been used on coalfired boiler ESPs in Europe for many years, and in the past three years, Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) has more than 800 installations in China on cement kiln ESPs. Previous to this writing, there had been no installations of the TPPS in the United States (U.S.). 1. The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Barberton, Ohio, 2.

European Fossil Power Market Taking a Surprising Turn toward Coal and Wood

The U.S. coal and logging industries are booming thanks to exports to Europe. Alternatives to these two fuels are much more expensive in Europe. At the same time, the carbon credit price has fallen to insignificance. The result is a great incentive for European power plants to burn solid fuels. These trends are being analyzed in the McIlvaine Fossil & Nuclear Power Generation: World Analysis & Forecast. The impacts on industrial boilers are being tracked in Air Emitters. The impacts on the FGD, DeNOx, precipitator, and fabric filter markets are also being analyzed in McIlvaine market reports. Here are some of the surprising developments in Europe:
