Moisture Matters: How Fuel Humidity Drives Combustion Instability, NOx Slip, and Corrosive Chemistry in Condensing Biomass Heat Plants (Part 2 of 2)
0 Comments on Moisture Matters: How Fuel Humidity Drives Combustion Instability, NOx Slip, and Corrosive Chemistry in Condensing Biomass Heat Plants (Part 2 of 2)
Introduction In modern biomass heat plants, most discussions about NOₓ reduction focus on technologies like SNCR or SCR. Yet in practice, many of the emission and corrosion problems observed in condensing heat plants do not originate in the reduction system itself, but much earlier — in the combustion chamber.At the…
Turning Loss into Opportunity: How Waste Heat Recovery Can Offset the Energy Penalty of CO₂ Capture
0 Comments on Turning Loss into Opportunity: How Waste Heat Recovery Can Offset the Energy Penalty of CO₂ Capture
From Problem to Opportunity As discussed in the previous article, carbon capture systems—though essential for decarbonization—lead to a reduction of a plant’s net power output. This occurs because part of the steam extracted from the turbine is redirected to provide thermal energy for solvent regeneration in the CO₂ capture unit….
