A combustion air feed volume (36) is provided that is open to the combustion chamber (16) via a plurality of passage openings (38). A cooling medium feed device (46) is provided for feeding a liquid cooling medium to the combustion air feed volume (36).

The present invention relates to a combustion generation apparatus which generates power using organic materials. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the combustion generation apparatus includes a fuel supply unit which includes a plurality of single fuel suppliers configured to supply different organic raw materials, a fuel mixer configured to mix the organic raw materials supplied by the single fuel suppliers, and a mixed fuel supplier configured to receive the organic raw materials uniformly mixed in the fuel mixer, a reaction unit which includes a combustion chamber configured to burn the organic raw materials supplied by the mixed fuel supplier, and a generation unit which includes an internal generator configured to generate power using heat energy generated by a combustion reaction of the organic materials in the combustion chamber and an external generator configured to generate power using heat energy released outward from the combustion chamber.

A combustion device includes an ammonia supply unit supplying primary reduction ammonia as a nitrogen oxide reducing agent into a combustor and mixing secondary reduction ammonia with combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustor to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas and a controller configured to control at least one of the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia and the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia with the combustion exhaust gas in accordance with concentrations of residual nitrogen oxide and residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas after being discharged from the combustor.

A system for treating engine exhaust gas, which engine exhaust gas has a temperature of between T1 and T2, comprises a SCR reactor for converting NOx in a medium containing the engine exhaust gas into N2 and H2O. The SCR reactor has an inlet for receiving the medium and an outlet for outputting the NOx reduced medium. A first boiler unit has an outlet for outputting boiler exhaust gas (temperature greater than T3, T3>T1) from the first boiler unit. A mixing unit mixes the engine exhaust gas with the boiler exhaust gas to produce the medium. The mixing unit has a first inlet communicating with the engine for receiving the engine exhaust gas, a second inlet communicating with the outlet of the first boiler unit for receiving the boiler exhaust gas and an outlet for outputting the medium. The mixing unit outlet communicates with the inlet of the SCR reactor.

A heater includes a convection section with columns and tube sheets coupled to the columns with tubes received in the tube sheets. The convection section includes a space between the tube sheets associated with corresponding pairs of columns. A structural frame is coupled to the columns and positioned in the space to slidably receive one or more catalyst support beds for loading or unloading a catalyst into the convection section through a lateral side of the convection section of the heater. The structural frame may include beams, struts, slide plates, and other frame elements that assist with supporting the catalyst support beds and enable sliding of the catalyst support beds with respect to the structural frame.

Systems and methods for increasing removal efficiency of at least one filter medium. In some embodiments, at least one oxidizing agent is introduced into the flue gas stream, so as to react SO2 with the at least one oxidizing agent to form sulfur trioxide (SO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), or any combination thereof. Some of the embodiments further include introducing ammonia (NH3) and or dry sorbent into the flue gas stream, so as to react at least some of the sulfur trioxide (SO3), at least some of the sulfuric acid (H2SO4), or any combination thereof, with the ammonia (NH3) and form at least one salt.

A method of heating a fluid stream for a power plant comprises diverting a portion of a main flow of flue gas from a power plant at a first pressure (P1), flowing the diverted flue gas through a heat exchanger, flowing an auxiliary fluid stream through the heat exchanger, and transferring heat from the diverted flue gas into the auxiliary fluid stream in the heat exchanger to raise a temperature of the auxiliary fluid stream from a first temperature (T3) to a second temperature (T4), while lowering a first temperature of the diverted flue gas (T1) to a second temperature (T2). The diverted flue gas is then returned to the main flow of flue gas in the power plant at a second pressure (P2). The method of flue gas flow through the heat exchanger may be accomplished by adding a self-contained flow path from a boiler higher pressure (P1) zone to a lower pressure (P2) zone.

A heat recovery steam generator includes a gas inlet for receiving a flow of exhaust gas from a gas turbine, a gas outlet opposite the gas inlet, at least one heat exchanger intermediate the gas inlet and the gas outlet, the heat exchanger having a plurality of heat transfer surfaces configured to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to a fluid within the heat exchanger, and a valve associated with the heat exchanger and configured to regulate a flow of the fluid through the heat exchanger. The valve is controllable from an open position to a closed position to decrease the flow of the fluid through the heat exchanger in order to effect an increase in a temperature of the heat transfer surfaces of the heat exchanger to clean the heat transfer surfaces.

A highly efficient indoor heating system and device is described. The device is equipped with an internal chimney, as well as vents that are configured to maximize the draft applied to the flame housed within a stove combustion area. The heater is configured to reach temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately ten minutes. A gravity fed fuel tube, potentially in communication with a wood pellet hopper, is configured to deliver fuel to the stove of the heater. Heat is distributed throughout the structure of the device, and a convection chamber within the device ensures that heat generated is not quickly lost via exhaust.

The present invention relates generally to the field of emission control equipment for boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices (e.g., those located at power plants, processing plants, etc.) and, in particular to a new and useful method and apparatus for: (i) reducing halogen levels necessary to affect gas-phase mercury control; (ii) reducing or preventing the poisoning and/or contamination of an SCR catalyst; and/or (iii) controlling various emissions. In still another embodiment, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for: (A) simultaneously reducing halogen levels necessary to affect gas-phase mercury control while achieving a reduction in the emission of mercury; and/or (B) reducing the amount of selenium contained in and/or emitted by one or more pieces of emission control equipment for boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices (e.g., those located at power plants, processing plants, etc.).
