A system for providing wind-assisted air supply to coal-fired power plants through the use of a wind funnel communicating with an air handler system of a coal-fired boiler is disclosed. The shape, size and orientation of the wind funnel may be controlled in order to optimize the collection of wind and generation of increased air pressure for delivery to the coal-fired boiler system. Increased operating efficiency of coal-fired power plants may be achieved with the wind funnel system.

A steam flare is provided that injects steam, unmixed with air into a waste gas stream at locations where the resulting accelerated steam and waste gas mixture upon exposure to the surrounding air induces a mixture of steam, waste gas and air with improved combustion and effectively complete destruction of the waste gas, and where under low-flow conditions, reduced steam and/or assist gas are required to maintain smokeless operation.
