Decarbonization Avenue : Enhancing thermal power plant efficiency

Innovation Insights

Direct Ignition Pulverized Coal Burners

In this technology, pulverized coal is ignited, to furnish energy for warm-up or low load operation of a coal burning boiler, by a technique which does not require the combustion of significant quantities of liquid or gaseous fuels.

This has the potential to result in higher overall operational efficiency.
