Advances in Ultra-low Emission Control Technologies for Coal-Fired Power Plants (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

While energy generation around the world transitions to a cleaner, renewables dominated, energy mix, coal power generation will continue to provide a large proportion of utility around the world. As coal-fired power plants exhaust a number of pollutants there is an imperative need to develop and implement methods and technologies to manage and reduce them. Editors Zhang, Wang and Pan are at the centre of the pioneering work and research behind the development of ultra-low emission control technologies being implemented in power plants in China, which, if implemented in all coal-fired power plants have the potential to reduce dust, SO2 and NOx emissions by over 90%. Advances of Ultra-Low Emission Control Technologies for Coal-Fired Power Plants discusses the emissions standards of dust, SO2, NOx and mercury pollution throughout the world and presents the key technologies available to control emissions in coal-fired power plants. The practical effects of ultra-low emissions projects are also presented to ensure the reader is aware of all related implications on the plants, with emphasis placed on 300MW subcritical, 600MW subcritical, 660MW supercritical and 1000MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired units. The influence of different pollutant control units such as wet electrostatic precipitator, desulfurization equipment and electrostatic precipitator are also analysed, and the pollutant levels before and after the retrofitted ultra-low emissions are compared throughout. Provides a unique analysis of advanced technologies such as dust-removal, desulfurization and denitrification used for ultra-low emissions in coal-fired power plants Introduces emission standards for dust, SO2, NOx and Mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants in China, the US and Europe, and provides solutions to reducing these emissions based on technological advances in China Analyses the environmental and economic effects of these technologies
