WESTINGHOUSE PLASMA’S FUEL REPLACEMENT SOLUTION
In the refueling configuration, the Westinghouse
plasma gasifier will process waste materials and
create a commodity grade clean syngas.
This syngas is then co-fired in the existing boiler
through a modification of the boiler system.
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 boiler.
Refueling has many advantages, including:
•
Create Energy Independence
•
Create an environmentally sustainable in country waste
management solution
•
Reduced reliance on expensive and volatile fossil fuel imports
•
Improve the CO2 footprint of power generation facilities by
reducing the amount of fuel oil
•
Existing infrastructure can be used without major capital
cost upgrades
