4 BOILER NOx FORMATION
5 BOILER NOx FORMATION OVERVIEW Key points: Boiler burners use combustion to produce heat to make steam or hot water NOx is: A by-product of combustion A pollutant that contributes to Ozone Particulate matter Acid rain NOx has three sources: Thermal NOx Prompt NOx Fuel-bound NOx (not typically a concern with natural gas)
6 THERMAL NOx Thermal NOx formation: Is the largest contributor to overall NOx emissions Occurs under high temperatures of combustion Combustion: Fuel + Air (O 2 + N 2 ) + Ignition Ideal Natural Gas Combustion: CH 4 + O 2 + N 2 => CO 2 + H N 2 + O 2 + Heat Above 2600 F: N 2 + O 2 + Heat => NOx Is an exponential function of flame temperature
7 THERMAL NOx
8 BOILER NOx REDUCTION STRATEGIES
9 OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIES There are two basic strategies to reduce NOx emissions: 1. Reduce thermal NOx formation Requires modifying or replacing the boiler burner Can achieve emissions of 7 ppm or lower Is typically less expensive than exhaust treatment May decrease efficiency(depending on the burner type) 2. Treat the boiler exhaust to remove NOx after it is formed Requires installing a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system Uses ammonia and a catalyst to remove NOx from the exhaust Can achieve emissions of 5 ppm or lower Has less impact on efficiency Is typically more expensive than burner retrofit/replacement May not be applicable to boilers smaller than 30 MMBtu/hr
10 OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIES Exhaust Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) Economizer Ammonia Injection NOx Reduction Strategy 2 SCR Air NOx Reduction Strategy 1 Fan Burner Boiler Steam or HW Gas
11 REDUCING NOx FORMATION Techniques to reduce NOx formation : Include: Adding flue gas recirculation (FGR) Altering the fuel/air ratio and excess O 2 Using staged fuel or air Improving fuel/air distribution and mixing Improving flame distribution to reduce hot spots Using staged combustion (both fuel and air) Are typically focused on lowering the flame temperature The challenge: how to lower flame temperature without reducing efficiency and/or flame stability? Increasing excess O 2 will decrease efficiency Using FGR has less impact on efficiency, but requires additional fan energy
12 COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY Combustion Efficiency Excess (%) Exhaust Stack Temperature minus Combustion Air Temperature ( F) Air Oxygen
13 LOW- AND ULTRA-LOW-NOx BURNERS Low-NOx Burners (30 ppm): Use FGR Can maintain 3 to 5% excess O 2 with good controls Offer good turndown (> 8:1) and flame stability Ultra-Low-NOx Burners (7 to 15 ppm): Use FGR, adjusted fuel/air ratios, and staging May have (in some designs): Higher excess O 2 (anywhere from 5 to 9%) Larger combustion air fans (15% to 50% increase in required HP) Reduced turndown (3:1 or 4:1) and flame stability Are improving Many now in the 5% to 7% O 2 range
14 ULTRA-LOW-NOx BURNERS Conventional designs: Utilize higher FGR and lean mixture designs Lean premix: Gas nozzles and metal fiber Lean rapid mix: Gas nozzles With or without secondary fuel staging Newer Designs: Are aimed at improving efficiency Use less excess air (3% to 5%), less FGR and therefore less fan energy May use staged combustion Fuel and air are combusted in multiple stages (rich and lean) Low NOx in each stage of combustion Remain unknown in terms of availability and performance
15 NOX FORMATION AND FUEL/AIR RATIO NOx Formation Rich Flammability Limit Rich Premix Combustion Stoichiometric Combustion Lean Premix Combustion (excess air) Lean Flammability Limit Fuel Rich Fuel Lean (more excess air)
16 TREATING BOILER EXHAUST Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems: Use ammonia injection and a catalyst to remove NOx from exhaust Are engineered solutions Require sufficient space and proper design, installation, and control Need fairly high exhaust temperatures (350 F or higher) Have some potential issues Excessive boiler cycling Ammonia slip and/or leakage Are recommended (instead of burner upgrade) for large watertube boilers May soon be available for fire-tube boilers Stack temperature and cost are issues
17 SUMMARY OF COMPLIANCE OPTIONS Options for reducing NOx emissions include: 1. Retrofit or modify the existing burner From 15 ppm to 9 ppm From 9 ppm to 7 ppm (only available for some burners) 2. Replace the burner To meet 30 ppm, 15 ppm, or 9 ppm limits Perhaps to meet 7 ppm (availability?) 3. Replace the boiler Cost vs. efficiency improvement 4. Install SCR system Good option for water-tubes, but for fire-tubes? 5. De-rate boiler below threshold of regulation 6. Pay an annual emission fee (only in San Joaquin Valley APCD)
18 RECOMMENDATIONS When deciding on a compliance strategy: Evaluate site-specific options and proposals Address design or installation issues Evaluate experience and expertise of contractors and suppliers Look at condition of existing equipment (retrofit vs. replace) Obtain actual (as opposed to design) performance data for a sitespecific installation Ask for a performance guarantee! Consider that regulations may change again in the future Assess impact on energy efficiency and other spending activities Evaluate total operating cost Energy Operations Compliance
19 COMBINING ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH BOILER NOx UPGRADES
20 WHY INCLUDE ENERGY EFFICIENCY? Reasons to include energy efficiency with NOx upgrades include: Mitigating efficiency decrease and/or operating cost increase from NOx reduction Energy and utility cost savings Some advantages of implementing as a single project: Downtime is limited Upgrades may be more cost-effective Project will generate a return Greenhouse gas emission reductions Taking advantage of rebates available for energy efficiency upgrades Increasing boiler capacity Improving operations and maintenance Replacing aged equipment
21 BURNER-RELATED UPGRADES Combine energy efficiency with burner upgrades by: Installing a variable frequency drive (VFD) on the burner fan Cost-effective for larger fans and longer operating hours Installing a SCR system and replacing an existing ultra-low-nox burner If using an older, high-excess air ULN burner, replace with a highefficiency 30 ppm burner Applicable for boilers larger than 30 MMBtu/hr Can save both natural gas and electricity
22 NEW BOILERS When replacing a boiler, consider: High-efficiency boilers Condensing boilers Direct-contact water heaters Steam generators Switching from steam to hot water
23 HIGHLIGHT: CONDENSING BOILERS 98% 96% Combustion Efficiency (%) 94% 92% 90% 88% 86% Inlet Water Temperature (F)
24 HEAT RECOVERY OPPORTUNITIES Pipe, tank, and other heated surface insulation Exhaust stack economizers (feedwater or condensing) Blowdown heat recovery Condensate recovery Mechanical vapor recompression or other custom efficiency upgrades for evaporators Flash steam recovery Thermosorber heat pump Process heat recovery
25 HIGHLIGHT: CONDENSING ECONOMIZERS Applicable to larger boilers with nearby low-temperature water demand (domestic hot water, process water, clean-in-place) Preheats water up to 140 F to reduce steam consumption Most efficient when combined with a first-stage feedwater economizer
26 VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES Boiler burner combustion air fan Feedwater pumps Condensate return pumps Process water pumps
27 EXAMPLE BURNER FAN VFD RESULTS Pre-installation Fan kw Post-installation VFD Fan kw Burner Fan kw % 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Boiler Part-Load (%)
28 REPAIRS AND SETTING CHANGES Replace old or failed steam traps Repair/replace control linkage Repair/replace failed blowdown controls or reduce excessive blowdown Reduce or eliminate boiler cycling Repair/replace dirty heat exchanger or boiler economizer Replace boiler refractory Reduce boiler steam pressure or hot water supply temperature set points Repair/replace failed VFD
29 OTHERS Reverse osmosis water treatment systems (for reduced boiler blowdown) High-efficiency boiler burners Electronic parallel positioning fuel-air controls (with or without oxygen trim) Only for burners 30 ppm NOx
30 SUMMARY Key points to review: New regulations may require boiler upgrades Evaluate your options for compliance Combine energy efficiency with NOx-related upgrades Save energy, reduce operating cost and greenhouse gas emissions Create a payback Make the most of down time Take advantage of utility energy efficiency rebates and no-cost technical services
