DESIGNING AND OPPORTUNITY FUEL WITH BIOMASS AND TIRE-DERIVED FUEL FOR COFIRING AT WILLOW ISLAND GENERATING STATION AND COFIRING SAWDUST WITH COAL AT ALBRIGHT GENERATING STATION
2004Co-Authors: K. Payette, D. TillmanAbstract:During the period July 1, 2000-March 31, 2004, Allegheny Energy Supply Co., LLC (Allegheny) conducted an extensive demonstration of woody biomass cofiring at its Willow Island and Albright Generating Stations. This demonstration, cofunded by USDOE and Allegheny, and supported by the Biomass Interest Group (BIG) of EPRI, evaluated the impacts of sawdust cofiring in both Cyclone Boilers and tangentially-fired pulverized coal Boilers. The cofiring in the Cyclone Boiler--Willow Island Generating Station Unit No.2--evaluated the impacts of sawdust alone, and sawdust blended with tire-derived fuel. The biomass was blended with the coal on its way to the combustion system. The cofiring in the pulverized coal Boiler--Albright Generating Station--evaluated the impact of cofiring on emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO{sub x}) when the sawdust was injected separately into the furnace. The demonstration of woody biomass cofiring involved design, construction, and testing at each site. The results addressed impacts associated with operational issues--capacity, efficiency, and operability--as well as formation and control of airborne emissions such as NO{sub x}, sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}2), opacity, and mercury. The results of this extensive program are detailed in this report.

Other Information: PBD: 1 Jan 2001, 2001Co-Authors: K. Payette, D. TillmanAbstract:During the period October 1, 2000 - December 31, 2000, Allegheny Energy Supply Co., LLC (Allegheny) executed a Cooperative Agreement with the National Energy Technology Laboratory to implement a major cofiring demonstration at the Willow Island Generating Station Boiler No.2. Willow Island Boiler No.2 is a Cyclone Boiler. Allegheny also will demonstrate separate injection cofiring at the Albright Generating Station Boiler No.3, a tangentially fired Boiler. The Allegheny team includes Foster Wheeler as its primary subcontractor. Additional subcontractors are Cofiring Alternatives and N.S. Harding and Associates. This report summarizes the activities associated with the Designer Opportunity Fuel program, and demonstrations at Willow Island and Albright Generating Stations. The second quarter of the project involved completing the designs for each location. Further, geotechnical investigations proceeded at each site. Preparations were made to perform demolition on two small buildings at the Willow Island site. Fuels strategies were initiated for each site. Test planning commenced for each site. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Willow Island site on October 18, with Governor C. Underwood being the featured speaker.

fetc epri biomass cofiring cooperative agreement quaterly technical report january 1 march 30m 1997
Other Information: PBD: Dec 1997, 1997Co-Authors: E. Hughes, D. TillmanAbstract:Cofiring is considered to be the most promising near-term approach to fossil C0{sub 2} emissions mitigation through biomass usage. Consequently FETC and EPRI have entered into a cooperative agreement: `Cofiring Biomass and Waste-Derived fuels in Electric Utility Coal- Fired Boilers.` This agreement supports sixteen (16) EPRI research projects, each contributing to the commercialization of systems to address greenhouse gas emissions. These projects include: (1) cofiring combustion testing at the Seward Generating Station of GPU Genco; (2) fuel preparation testing at the Greenidge Generating Station of NYSEG; (3) precommercial testing of cofiring at the Allen and Colbert Fossil Plants of TVA; (4) testing of switchgrass cofiring at the Blount St. Station of Madison Gas & Electric; (5) high percentage biomass cofiring with Southern Company; (6) urban wood waste cofiring at the supercritical Cyclone Boiler at Michigan City Generating Station of Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO); (7) evaluation of switchgrass cofiring with Nebraska Public Power District at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA; (8) waste plastics cofiring with Duke Power in a tangentially-fired pulverized coal (PC) Boiler; (9) cofiring a mixture of plastics, fiber, and pulp industry wastes with South Carolina Electric and Gas; (10) urban wood waste cofiring evaluation andmore » testing by the University of Pittsburgh in stoker Boilers; (11) assessment of toxic emissions from cofiring of wood and coal; (12) development of fuel and power plant models for analysis and interpretation of cofiring results; (13) analysis of C0{sub 2} utilization in algal systems for wastewater treatment; (14) combustion testing and combustor development focusing on high percentage cofiring; (15) analysis of problems and potential solutions to the sale of flyash from coal-fired Boilers practicing cofiring; and (16) analysis of C0{sub 2} capture and disposal systems. During the second quarter of this contract, from January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997, significant progress has been made on these projects. This progress focuses upon analysis of data from the cofiring tests, construction of systems to promote additional cofiring tests, and initiation of tasks evaluating alternatives to cofiring. This report contains a brief description of the progress made during the second quarter of the contract, focusing upon test results from the Seward Generating Station, where parametric testing at a wall-fired PC Boiler was used to evaluate cofiring using separate feeding of wood and coal to the energy generation system.« less

cofiring multiple opportunity fuels with coal at bailly generating station
Biomass & Bioenergy, 2000Co-Authors: Patricia J Hus, David A. TillmanAbstract:Abstract Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) has developed a long-term demonstration firing biomass and petroleum coke with coal at its Bailly Generating Station Boiler #7, a 160 MW e (net) Cyclone Boiler. This demonstration, funded by the US Department of Energy (USDOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and the USDOE National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), has been developed as part of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) biomass cofiring demonstration program. The NIPSCO demonstration program — the triburn program — has involved designing and constructing a fuel preparation and blending facility. It then involved extensive testing of firing clean urban wood waste — biomass — with coal, firing petroleum coke with coal, and firing various blends of urban wood waste and petroleum coke with coal. Results of the extensive testing program have shown that the triburn blends of biomass and petroleum coke with coal have accomplished the following: (1) increased Boiler efficiency, (2) reduced fuel costs; and (3) reduced emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), mercury, and fossil carbon dioxide (CO2). At the same time, the triburn program has not increased other emissions. This paper summarizes the results of testing at Bailly Generating Station, discusses the impacts of petroleum coke and wood waste, discusses the synergies between these two opportunity fuels, and considers the implications of the demonstration.
