U.S. Market PotentialU.Potential ?280 units fire high-moisture coals (lignite and PRB) in the U.S. ?1/3 of electric power from coal ?> 100 GWel ?Sub-bituminous and lignite coals account for 52% of U.S. coal reserves. Conclusions ?A low-temperature coal drying process employing a fluidized bed coal dryer and waste heat was developed by a team led by GRE and ERC. ?The benefits of the partially dried lignite are demonstrated at GRE’s Coal Creek Station (CCS). ?Demonstration is conducted with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funding under DOE Award Number: DE-CF26-04NT41763. ? Phase 1. Prototype coal drying system (CDS) employing one FBD was designed, constructed, and integrated into Unit 2 at CCS. ?The prototype CDS at CCS has been in almost continuous fully automatic operation since early 2006. ?To date processed more than 300,000 tons of wet lignite. ?Dryer inspections revealed no wear or damage to its internals. ?Feeder trips for the mill receiving dried coal were eliminated. ■The oversize material, typically responsible for the trips, screened out or discharged from the dryer with the non-fluidizablematerial Coal Dryer Performance: ?Nominal coal flow rate 75 t/hr ?Coal moisture reduction8.23% Abs (8.5% target) ?HHV improvement752 BTU/lb ?Unit Performance ?Coal flow rate reduction: ■ Prototype CDS2.0% ■Full-size CDS14% ?Mill power reduction: ■ Prototype CDS3.3% ■Full-size CDS (4 FBDs)25% ?Boiler efficiency improvement: ■ Prototype CDS0.37% Abs. ■Full-size CDS(4 FBDs)2.13% Abs. ?Net unit heat rate improvement: ■ Prototype CDS0.37% ■Full-size CDS (4 FBDs)2.87% Emissions: ?NOxreduction: ■ Prototype CDS7.5% ■Full-size CDS> 10% ?SOxreduction: ■ Prototype CDS1.9% ■Full-size CDS (4 FBDs)10 to 15% ?Hg reduction: ■ Prototype CDS0.4% ■Full-size CDS(4 FBDs)15 to 20% ?CO2reduction: ■ Prototype CDS0.4% ■Full-size CDS (4 FBDs)3.00% Significant improvement in efficiency and reduction in emissions could be achieved by: ?Retrofitting existing sub-bituminous coal-fired units with a coal drying system. ?
