A hybrid power plant system including a gas turbine system and a coal fired boiler system inputs high oxygen content gas turbine flue gas into the coal fired boiler system, said gas turbine flue gas also including carbon dioxide that is desired to be captured rather than released to the atmosphere. Oxygen in the gas turbine flue gas is consumed in the coal fired boiler, resulting in relatively low oxygen content boiler flue gas stream to be processed. Carbon dioxide, originally included in the gas turbine flue gas, is subsequently captured by the post combustion capture apparatus of the coal fired boiler system, along with carbon diode generated by the burning of coal. The supply of gas turbine flue gas which is input into the boiler system is controlled using dampers and/or fans by a controller based on an oxygen sensor measurement and one or more flow rate measurements.

A process for cleaning process gas removes sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) to produce a tail gas substantially free of these pollutants. The process oxidizes and absorbs SOx and NOx for storage as liquid acids. In some embodiments a PM removal stage and/or a SOx removal stage are provided in a close-coupled higher-pressure environment upstream from a turbocharger turbine. The process has example application in cleaning exhaust gases from industrial processes and large diesel engines such as ship engines.

A contaminated gas stream can be passed through an in-line mixing device, positioned in a duct containing the contaminated gas stream, to form a turbulent contaminated gas stream. One or more of the following is true: (a) a width of the in-line mixing device is no more than about 75% of a width of the duct at the position of the in-line mixing device; (b) a height of the in-line mixing device is no more than about 75% of a height of the duct at the position of the in-line mixing device; and (c) a cross-sectional area of the mixing device normal to a direction of gas flow is no more than about 75% of a cross-sectional area of the duct at the position of the in-line mixing device. An additive can be introduced into the contaminated gas stream to cause the removal of the contaminant by a particulate control device.

A method for removing noxious, hazardous, toxic, mutagenic, and/or carcinogenic compounds and/or precursor compounds from a comingled gas, liquid, and/or solid stream is described. In one embodiment, the method is used to prepare the stream for feeding to an oxidizer, such as a thermal oxidizer, to reduce the amount of particulate matter discharged by the oxidizer and includes passing the stream through an ambient or chilled temperature condenser followed by an optional gas/solid separator, and one or more gas scrubbers prior to feeding to the oxidizer.

A flue gas mixing apparatus includes gas mixers, wherein the gas mixers have a gas flow channel, one of parallel two faces of a cuboid space being set as a gas flow-in face, the other thereof being set as a gas flow-out face, and in the gas flow channel, each of the gas flow-in face and the gas flow-out face is segmented into at least four regions which have same symmetric areas by straight lines passing through a center of each face, and a gas flow channel partition plate which introduces the combustion flue gas caused to flow in each of the regions of the gas flow-in face into each of the regions of the gas flow-out face at positions at which the regions are shifted one-by-one around a line segment connecting the centers of the gas flow-in face and the gas flow-out face is included.

A membrane method processing system and process for a high-concentration salt-containing organic waste liquid incineration exhaust gas is described. The system consists essentially of a waste liquid incinerator (I), a gas-solid separator (II), a heat exchanger (III), an air blower (IV), an anti-caking agent storage tank (V), a membrane method dust cleaner (VI), an induced draft fan (VII), a check valve (VIII), and a desulfurization tower (IX). The present invention introduces the dust collecting membrane into the tail gas treatment system and utilizes the small pore size and high porosity of the dust collecting membrane to prevent inorganic salt particles from entering the internal of the filter material and agglomerating there. When the humidity of the gas entering the dust collector increases during the dust removing process, the anti-caking agent is also introduced into the tail gas treatment system to change the surface structure of the inorganic salt crystal to prevent the crystal from agglomeration.

A system is provided with a turbine combustor having a first diffusion fuel nozzle, wherein the first diffusion fuel nozzle is configured to produce a diffusion flame. The system includes a turbine driven by combustion products from the diffusion flame in the turbine combustor. The system also includes an exhaust gas compressor, wherein the exhaust gas compressor is configured to compress and route an exhaust gas from the turbine to the turbine combustor along an exhaust recirculation path. In addition, the system includes a control system configured to control flow rates of at least one oxidant and at least one fuel to the turbine combustor in a stoichiometric control mode and a non-stoichiometric control mode, wherein the stoichiometric control mode is configured to change the flow rates and provide a substantially stoichiometric ratio of the at least one fuel with the at least one oxidant, and the non-stoichiometric control mode is configured to change the flow rates and provide a non-stoichiometric ratio of the at least one fuel with the at least one oxidant.

The present disclosure comprises: a mixing duct equipped with an inlet through which combustion gas flows in and an outlet through which the combustion gas flowing in from the inlet flows out; a cooling duct that allows cooling gas, which has a lower temperature than the combustion gas, to flow out into the mixing duct, and generates a mixed gas consisting of the combustion gas and the cooling gas; and an expansion duct equipped with an inlet that is connected to the mixing duct and through which the mixed gas flows in and an outlet through which the mixed gas flowing in from the inlet flows out. The mixing duct has a shape with an equal cross-sectional area at each position from the inlet to the outlet. The expansion duct provides a denitrification device having a shape, the cross-sectional area of which gradually expands from the inlet to the outlet.

A combustion system including a unit for producing oxidizing gas, a combustion apparatus, a unit for condensing the combustion fumes by bringing the combustion fumes into contact with at least one coolant liquid, a recycler, and a unit for providing molecular oxygen. The unit for producing oxidizing gas makes it possible to supply the combustion apparatus with an oxidizing gas originating from the mixing of molecular oxygen and the recycled portion of the dehumidified gas. The combustion system also includes a regulating unit having the function of automatically regulating the temperature of the coolant liquid of the condensing unit and/or a heater for heating the recycled portion of the dehumidified gas.

The present invention is generally related to a system and method that efficiently and effectively removes mercury, dioxin, and furan while also reducing granule activated carbon (GAC) bed fires on high temperature municipal fluid bed sludge incinerators. In this manner, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Maximum Achievable Control Technology LLLL (MACT LLLL) emission limits on mercury, dioxin, and furans can be met for new high temperature fluid bed municipal sludge incineration plants, while the likelihood of GAC fires can be reduced.
