Functions & Utilities
Coaltec has been developed to provide multiple Functions and Utilities to its end users.Listed below are insights towards its effectiveness.
CATALYST
Enables Quick and High carbon burnout of the solid fuel, providing improved flame stability. Facilitates oxygen diffusion to internal regions of Coal, reducing surplus air requirements.
OXIDANT
Enables complete combustion of carbon to CO2, reducing CO and black smoke. Reduces the unburnts in bottom ash & Fly ash.
SULPHUR FIXATIVE
Absorbs SO2 produced in the furnace reducing sulphur emissions in the range of 50-80%. Reduces Acid-Smut and Acid-Plume, reducing acid rains.
DE-ASHING AND DE-DUSTING AGENT
Facilitates removal of contaminants from the furnace water wall and heat transfer surfaces by making the dust loose, powdery and porous.
LOOSENING AGENT
As Boilers/Kilns are subjected to continued usage, the thickness of the walls may reduce owing to corrosion. Contaminants such as residual dust, ash and smoke which impact the furnace walls, increase with passage of time which in turn reduces efficiency in the long run.
ANTI-CORROSIVE AGENT
The additive contains a High temperature corrosion inhibitor that protects the furnace wall and apparatus from corrosion and thinning.
IMPLEMENTING THE ADDITIVE & TRIALS
Before implementing the fuel additive, the Boiler/Kiln parameters will be studied by ARM personnel and its agencies along with the plant. A CDE Customer Data Evaluation (Detailed) will be compiled, as a pre-cursor to the proposal of a suitable solution with its allied benefits. Based on the collected data the methodology for the trial will be determined.
The trials can be long term lasting 4 to 6 weeks or a short term run lasting 10 – 12 days depending on the system. From the results of this practical run, the benefits of the additive can be realized and accurate savings will be determined.
INVESTMENTS & OPERATING COSTS
For the application of the Additive, dosing equipment is required, which consists of a vibro-dozer / screw feeder. The type & cost of this dosing equipment depends on the kind of Boiler/Kiln system.
ARM Pvt. Ltd. is prepared to submit a specified offer for investment costs if the necessary data of Boiler/Kiln and installation site is known.
The operational costs of Fuel Additive dosing is dependent on fuel characteristics and the furnace / burning situation. They can be calculated & ascertained after the aims of the Fuel Additive application are determined.
