COAL-FIRED
PROJECTS
The majority of my coal-fired design
and operating experience has been over the last 18 years at the Lehigh
University Energy Research Center (ERC). The work has included
developing, managing and participating in performance improvement and emissions
reduction projects. These projects involved the development of new
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts, performing SCR catalyst
preliminary sizing and economic evaluations, conducting assessments of methods
and sorbents for SO2 reduction and acid mist control, and field
testing new ERC techniques.
This work has provided me with
experience with current environmental regulations and the design and economic
modeling of new emissions control technologies. The modeling includes use
of standard EPA models and spreadsheets design to analyze EPA and FERC
emissions and heat input data.
Some
examples of this work includes:
·
Evaluation
of CEMS heat input relative to FERC fuel reports.
·
Assessment
of acid mist control technologies.
·
Conceptual
SCR System sizing and economic evaluations.
·
Sootblower
control system technology review.
·
Sootblower
characterization testing.
·
Preliminary
sootblower testing and evaluation of the sootblower control system
