DEVelopment of High Performance SCR-CATalysts Related to Different Fuel Types The goal of the project is to develop special SCR-DeNOx-catalysts for coal, bio-fuel and co-combustion with respect to efficient NOx-reduction, high mercury oxidation and low SO2-SO3-conversion. Therefore based on the further development of existing catalyst technology, innovative catalyst designs for bio-fuel applications or the use of nano-technology is applied. With respect to modified SCR-technology, also the effect on downstream air pollution control devices like FGD systems is investigated. Furthermore a 3D-CFD model is used and improved for the modeling of the SCR-system.
This project aims to develop a scale-up methodology and simulation tools which are required for the implementation of pulverised coal flameless oxidation (PC-FLOX) burners in utility plants. Substantial pilot (0.5MWth) experimental investigation will be the backbone in order to support the development and validation of scale-up methodology and CFD FLOX-specific sub-models. To develop simulation tools, these CFD FLOX-specific sub-models will be integrated into commercial CFD codes. A CFD modelling, experimental results and industrial partners’ expertise will lead to the development of the scale-up methodology for full-scale PC-FLOX burners. A CFD study and techno-economic analysis of utility plants operated with PC-FLOX burners will be carried out.
