REFUELING EXISTING POWER PLANT WITH WESTINGHOUSE
PLASMA GASIFICATION
•
In the refueling configuration, the Westinghouse Plasma gasifier will process waste materials and create a
commodity grade clean syngas.
•
The syngas is then fired into an existing boiler or turbine. Modifications to the existing burner system or
combustion system will be made to ensure that the performance of the boiler or turbine is unchanged.
•
The syngas will likely represent less than 25% of the total fuel being delivered to the power station.
•
By controlling the amount of syngas as a percentage of the total delivered fuel, the facility will benefit from the
significant economic and environmental attributes of the syngas while maintaining the original performance of
the equipment.
•
By eliminating a portion of the fuel oil, the power plant will realize a dramatic decrease in fuel costs.
