Integrating Fuel Flexibility into Boilers, Burners, Furnaces and Gas Turbines
Date: July 28, 2009
Overview:
Opportunity fuels such as biogas, refinery gas, blast furnace gas and renewable fuels have variable compositions that affect combustion performance in boilers, process heaters, flares and combustors. To accommodate these fuels, combustor designers need accurate chemistry simulation to quickly and accurately predict combustion stability as well as emissions like NOx, CO and unburned ...
Save Time and Money with Safe Bolting
Date: July 30, 2009
Overview:
Hytorc will cover the latest methods for safe and efficient handling of industrial bolting equipment. We will focus on hydraulic wrenches, pneumatic multipliers and hydraulic tensioners, but other methods and new technologies will be discussed. While the webinar will be hosted by Hytorc, safety techniques that can be applied to all brands of bolting tools will be discussed. We will ...
Reduce Combustion Design Costs Through Accurate Chemistry Simulation
Originally Broadcast: May 19, 2009
Overview:
These are tough times for combustion system designers as we are all being asked to do more with less. However, there are new opportunities on the environmental front that can help spur growth in a tough economy. Fuel flexibility, low carbon fuels, low emissions and opportunity fuels represent key areas for business growth in a world that is increasingly committed to clean combustion ...
Squeeze More Out of Your Power Plant by Modernizing Your Control System
Originally Broadcast: November 20, 2008
Overview:
Some legacy control systems can no longer meet corporate objectives that include enterprise-wide sharing of business information. Nor can they enlist advanced control capabilities that enable greater efficiency, lower costs, and improved regulatory compliance-while responding to demands for higher reliability and service quality. Addressing out-of-date control systems can also enable ...
Turbine Inlet Cooling with Indirect Evaporation - With Greater Density Comes More Power
Originally Broadcast: October 29, 2008
Overview:
Turbine inlet cooling (TIC) is used to increase the density of a gas turbine's inlet air, resulting in higher mass flow and greater power output. Heat rate, a measure of efficiency, is also improved. Two conventional forms of TIC - direct evaporation and fogging - cool by evaporating water into the inlet air stream. However, the evaporation process, by adding moisture to the air, ...
LIVE AT COAL-GEN: The Real Meaning of 'Carbon Capture Ready'
Originally Broadcast: August 14, 2008
Overview:
It wasn't long ago that the term "carbon capture ready" had very little meaning. By some definitions, making a coal plant "carbon capture ready" meant little more than providing space to accommodate whatever form of capture that might be eventually mandated or adopted. Such a nebulous strategy has no purpose or value today, if indeed it ever did. New coal capacity development cannot ...
LIVE AT COAL-GEN: Heat Rate Improvement Through Intelligent SootBlowing
Originally Broadcast: August 13, 2008
Overview:
Premature tube failures and the deterioration of plant heat rate are common problems that a coal fired power plant has to deal with as a result of manually predetermined sootblower operations. Manually predetermined sootblower operations without the knowledge of the location of the ash/slagging formation may result in over cleaning in some areas and under cleaning in others. Intelligent ...
