ICSE Research - Institute for Clean and Secure Energy

OXYCOAL COMBUSTION

Specifications

The Institute for Clean and Secure Energy (ICSE) recently completed construction of the 100kW down-fired furnace with heated walls and optical access through quartz windows to investigate these issues. The facility is designed to allow testing of the effects of transport fluid composition on pulverized coal flame stability. It is in the process of being modified to fire pure oxygen.

Capabilities

Systematic control of burner variables
Comprehensive analysis train
Particle and ash aerosol sampling
Optical diagnostic ready

Research

Studying the effect of PO2 in recycled flue gas on flame stabilization of well-defined axial diffusion flames.
Determining the desired characteristics of a low emission, highly-stable, oxy-coal burner.
Investigating specially directed O2 and cooled walls without flue gas recycle.
Exploring properties of compressed supercritical CO2 flue gas, Ox, SO2, metals, and Hg.
