Soot and stack solids emissions without and with BYCOSIN. In this example the emission was reduced by over 90%. |
PARTICULATES - STACK SOLIDS Incomplete combustion and insufficient atomization produces carbon monoxide, soot and coke particulates. Particulates are made up of a number of things, including unburned carbon, metallic ash and other subtances in the fuel that are not consumed during combustion. Particulates can also come from the addition of any material that would add to the ash loading of the fuel, such as inorganic magnesium that a plant may add to the fuel to reduce SO3 corrosion. Particulates foul the environment, form deposits and cause fouling throughout the plant. Oil consumption goes up and power output down. Other
effects are more wear and damage to the system and more downtime for
cleaning. The total plant
economy will deteriorate.
