Apr 01, 2005 Abstract. This is the ninth Quarterly Report for this project. The background and technical justification for the project are described, including potential benefits of reducing fuel moisture using power plant waste heat, prior to firing the coal in a pulverized coal boiler

Process for drying and preheating coal utilizing heat in

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a process for drying and preheating coking coal using heat from coke to be cooled comprising, passing a cooling gas over hot coke in a coke cooling chamber to cool the coke and heat the cooling gas, recycling the heated cooling gas through a waste heat boiler and back to the coke

(PDF) Coal Drying Improves Performance and Reduces

Modular Coal Drying System The approach to lignite drying described in this paper is based on using waste heat from the main condenser to heat the air used for coal drying. The coal drying air is heated in the water-to-air heat exchanger to approximately 110oF and is then forced through a bed of coal to remove a portion of fuel moisture

Power 101: Flue Gas Heat Recovery in Power Plants, Part II

Jun 01, 2010 A low-temperature coal-drying (LTCD) process employing a moving bed fluidized bed dryer (FBD) and waste heat was developed in the U.S. by

Drying technologies for sewage sludge

The heat for drying the dewatered sewage sludge is taken entirely from the sludge gas. The sludge gas is used to heat the fluid-ized bed dryer with an efficiency of 90% in modern incineration plants. At the same time, the fluidized bed dryer provides the thermal energy to heat the di - gester. In the drying process stage the sew

Coal power plant flue gas waste heat and water recovery

Mar 01, 2012 The TMC technology will be particularly beneficial to coal-fired power plants that use high-moisture coals and/or FGD for flue gas cleanup. The TMC can be used to process high-moisture flue gas from the FGD to recover its water vapor and its latent heat to increase boiler efficiency and decrease its water consumption
