Continuous Analyses of Energy and Environmental Subjects Now Available
McIlvaine is launching a series of websites covering Industry Options. Each contains one or more continuing analyses of the decisions which the designer and operator have to make.
The websites already launched are:
·
Gas Turbine Air Treatment – Continuous Analyses·
Gas Turbine Emission Control - Continuous Analyses·
Dry Scrubbing - Continuous Analyses·
Mercury Removal - Continuous AnalysesWebsites under construction are:
·
Drinking Water Filtration - Continuous Analyses·
Secondary Wastewater Treatment - Continuous Analyses·
Steam Valves - Continuous Analyses·
Wet Scrubber Design Options For Calcium ReagentAccess to each website is free to anyone. The intelligence system with all the background information is also free with no password required. Additional papers, presentations, etc. are invited. This includes text in other languages as long as an English summary is included. A special emphasis will be given to capturing the intelligence being generated in China.
The background information will be evaluated and Continuous Analyses prepared. These continuous analyses will provide independent evaluation of the life cycle costs and performance of all the various system and component options. Access to these analyses will be free to owner/operators but will require a subscription for others.
Suppliers can choose to have McIlvaine conduct an Application Audit. This audit is a white paper with third party experts making independent evaluations. The niche experts making these evaluations will be encouraged to focus on a very narrow area to ensure that they have unsurpassed knowledge of the subject. The Application Audits will be posted and free to anyone.
There will be periodic webinars on each subject. For example, there will be several continuing analyses under Gas Turbine Emission Control. One will deal with CEMS. A webinar will be held on April 17th to debate six different approaches to measuring NH3. This follows previous webinars on the subject and a feature article in Air Pollution Control magazine. Two webinars relative to continuing analyses on mercury reduction are also scheduled.
Webinars are free to plant owner/operators, but there is a charge for others. Here is the near-term schedule:
Hot Topic Hour ScheduleDry Scrubbing Is The Topic on March 27, 2014
On March 27th we will be comparing SDA, CFB and other CDS designs including NID and GSA. We will be reviewing every aspect in which the designs differ and discuss the merits of these differences. Webinar registrants will have access to the information posted in the intelligence system.
Dry Scrubbing - Continuous AnalysesThe format will be a series of questions which are first addressed by the panelists and then the other participants. We have panelists who are third party experts on dry scrubbers. They are:
One task will be to try to come to agreement relative to decisive classification and the specific nomenclature. We have selected the first split at Chamber vs. In-duct. Maybe better words are vessel and DSI but, in any case, we will be trying to resolve the nomenclature issues in the webinar next week.
We will be focused on the comparison of the major alternatives. If the chamber options are circulating dry scrubbers and SDA, how do they compare? Paul Farber has contributed several good papers and will be a panelist next week. Here is how we summarized one of his analyses of SDA and CDS:
·
SO2 Capture Capability - Advantage To CDS·
Fuel Flexibility - Advantage To CDS·
Load Flexibility - Advantage To SDA·
Utilities Consumption - Slight Advantage To SDA·
Waste Production - Advantage To SDAThere is still the need to breakdown CDS. What is the next level among CFB, GSA, NID, etc? How many segments should be at one level and should there be sub-segments?
We are looking at dual fluid nozzles vs. rotary atomizers, the size of NIDS nozzles, air slides vs. screw conveyors and many other components. We are focusing right now on the chamber segment but we already have a great deal of DSI information on the site. This site is free to one and all although the webinars and continuing analyses are more restricted. Let us know what you think of this very different new approach.

http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/component/content/article?id=675Provide Your Input to Scrubber Design Options for Calcium Reagents
We are preparing a website on calcium based wet scrubbers similar to the one on dry scrubbing. We will be looking at the four main components which are gas (flow rate and distribution), liquid (droplet size and distribution), slurry exposure (time and sequence) and droplet elimination.
There are three basic designs of limestone scrubbers. Here is a starting point relative to assessing the advantages and disadvantages of each:

2nd Tray |

Higher Level Differential |
Within each category there are sub-categories. The tray design includes perforated plates and several variations. One is called the rod deck and was installed at Cilco Duck Creek Three and Northern States Power Sherburne. Instead of round holes, there is the open area between parallel pipes about 2-e inches in diameter.
There are significant variations among spray tower designs. For example, MHI has a double contact with down flow followed by upflow. This design utilizes rapid air flow. The air velocity is one of the big questions. It can be 10-20 fps. At lower flows there is more retention time. At higher flows there is more turbulence. It can be argued that the turbulence is more important in the reaction than is the retention time. There is a tradeoff between vessel size and pressure loss.
The role of mist eliminators cannot be underestimated. The question is when you have higher turbulence do you need better mist elimination? Efficiency, water (for cleaning) consumption, pressure loss and configuration all need to be reviewed.
The role of nozzles varies greatly between the spray tower and other types. It is critical in the spray tower design, but may be relatively unimportant in the other designs.
We are now preparing the website for "Scrubber Design Options for Calcium Reagents" and welcome input which will be relevant. Much of it will come from our existing FGD & DeNOx Knowledge System which we have been compiling since 1974. But we need to make use of the latest Insights and look forward to your contribution.
