The Capabilities and Levels of R&D and Commercialization

The low-nitrogen coal combustion technology and ultra-low nitrogen gas burner developed by the Key Laboratory have reached the advanced level in China, and they are capable of commercialization.

A. Low-nitrogen coal combustion technology

(1) Renovate power plant boilers by using low-nitrogen combustion technology combined with super reduction technology, tertiary air separation technology, and high-level OFA technology, to effectively achieve reduction of NOx while ensuring good combustion stability and a wide coal quality adaptability, avoiding slagging and high-temperature corrosion in the furnace. Atmospheric emissions, therefore, meet national emission standards. In addition, through a combination of low-nitrogen burn technology LNB (before furnace), super reduction technology, tertiary air separation technology, OFA technology, boiler tail SNCR (tail) technology and SCR (post-furnace) technology, the SNCR usage cost is greatly reduced by low-nitrogen combustion. Actually, the enterprises will meet energy saving and emission reduction targets while achieving NOx emissions of less than 200mg/Nm3. 

(2) Renovate the coal-fired chain boilers by using the combination of multi-stage flue gas recirculation, SNCR and super reduction technology to achieve low-nitrogen emission, the NOx emission of coal-fired chain furnaces of 35~100t/d has been below 150mg/Nm³.

B. Ultra-low nitrogen gas burner

The Laboratory has been committed to the development of a new generation of ultra-low nitrogen burners, especially gas burners. So far, in the sector of low-nitrogen combustion of natural gas boilers, nitrogen oxide emissions of the 1~116MW boilers is less than 30mg/Nm3. To renovate boilers burning special gases, such as boilers with carbon black end gas and semi-coke end gas, the low-nitrogen emission reduction efficiency can be raised to more than 70%.

The Key Laboratory, since its establishment, has been active in promoting and commercializing its technology and has made significant achievements. The main projects are shown in the following table:
