Co-combustion of syngas in an existing boiler can be one of the options for replacing conventional fossil fuel with alternative fuels such as waste and biomass. This study is aimed to investigate effects of syngas cocombustion on combustion characteristics and boiler efficiency. An experimental study was performed for a pilot-scale furnace with 4 oil burners. Tests were conducted with mixture-gas as a co-combustion fuel and heavy oil as a main fuel. The mixture-gas was composed of 15% CO, 7% $H_2$, 3% $CH_4$ and 75% $N_2$ for simulating syngas from air-blown gasification. And LHV of the mixture-gas was 890 kcal/$Nm^3$. Temperature distribution in the furnace and flue gas composition were measured for various heat replacement ratio by the mixture gas. Heat loss through the wall was also carried out through heat & mass balance calculation, in order to obtain informations related to boiler efficiency. Experimental results show that similar temperature distribution and flue gas composition can be obtained for the range of 0~20% heat replacement by syngas. NOx concentration is slightly decreased for higher heat replacement by the syngas because fuel NOx is decreased in the case. Meanwhile, heat loss is a bit decreased for higher heat replacement by the syngas, which implies that boiler efficiency can be a bit decreased when syngas co-combustion is applied to a boiler.

For the purpose of evaluating to remove elemental mercury using SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalysts, the result of the concentration variation of elemental mercury in lab experiment and field measurement was compared. The effect of the elemental mercury oxidation on commercial catalysts was studied in simulated gas. Three species of SCR catalyst, $V_2O_5-TiO_2$ type, were selected. The elemental mercury reduced 30% without HCl gas in SCR operating condition. But the width of reduction increased 60% at 20 ppm HCl gas. According to the result of field measurement, reduction rate of elemental mercury at SCR outlet showed 60%. The total mercury concentration decreased about 20%. The results were similar to the lab test. The results of chemical analysis of test sample showed increase of mercury concentration but surface change was not observed.

On the basis of the distribution of particle size measured by laser diffraction spectrometers, this research was carried out to investigate the characteristics of mist removal with the change of operating condition in the plasma reactor of impulse streamer corona. The operating parameters in this experiment were power of impulse streamer corona, gas velocity, impulse generation time, gas temperature, and SOx/NOx concentration. The collection efficiency T(d) was estimated by the distribution of particle size in the collection zone through the advanced model.

본 연구에서는 비성형 RDF의 에너지 활용성을 확인하기 위하여 실험실 연소로를 이용한 온도 변화에 의한 연소특성연구를 하였다. 비성형 RDF 연소시 배출가스의 특성과 분진 및 잔류물을 분석하였으며 또한 그 결과를 성형 RDF의 연소실험 결과와 비교분석하였다. 본 연구로부터 비성형 RDF가 성형 RDF에 비교하여 연소속도가 빨라져서 급격히 산소량이 감소되어 불완전연소율이 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 연소온도가 높아질수록 연소속도가 향상되었으며 산소 소모량이 급격히 증가하였고, 이에 따른 불완전연소율이 증가하여 CO의 농도가 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 비성형 RDF의 완전연소를 위한 운전조건의 설정에 매우 신중을 기해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

This experiment was performed to develop the new desulfurization process which can eliminate the possibility of generation of the secondary pollutants by regenerating the limestone from the sulfite/sulfate slurry generated from the wet lime/limestone flue gas desulfurization process by treating it with the ammonium hydroxide and carbon dioxide and using it again. In the experiments, regent grade calcium carbonate was dissolved to obtain the 200ml of sample slurry of the concentration of 2.0~0.4 weight percent. After three times of regeneration and desulfurization process, the coefficients of regeneration and desulfurization efficiencies are calculated/measured. The obtained results are that the coefficients of generation of the first. second, and third regenerated calcium carbonate were 90.88, 92.13, and 91.50%, respectively; and the desulfurization efficiencies of those are 93.4, 94.2 and 93.0%, respectively.

An In-line dry scrubbing FGD process was investigated. Calcium hydroxide was entrained in flue gas and the SO$_2$ removal efficiency by humidity and additives were examined. The range of reaction temperature was $200^{\circ}C$~$500^{\circ}C$ and the concentration of $SO_2$ was around 900ppm. By the increase of humidity in flue gas, the removal efficiency was increased. The effect of NaOH as a additive was very high and got high conversion of $Ca(OH)_2$, however in case of RH 90%, it was reverse. The effect of particle size and flow rate were examined. And the reaction rate constant and effective diffusivity also calculated.

Purpose: With the ever-rising energy prices, thermal energy heavily consuming facilities of the agricultural sector such as commercialized greenhouses and large-scale Rice Processing Complexes (RPCs) need to cut down their energy cost if they must run profitable businesses continually. One possible way to reduce their energy cost is to utilize combustible agricultural by-products or low-price oil instead of light oil as the fuel for their boiler systems. This study aims to analyze the heavy oil combustion characteristics of a newly developed hot water boiler system that can use both rice husk and heavy oil as its fuel convertibly. Methods: Heavy oil combustion experiments were conducted in this study employing four fuel feed rates (7.6, 8.5, 9.5, 11.4 $l/h$) at a combustion furnace vacuum pressure of 500 Pa and with four combustion furnace vacuum pressures (375, 500, 625, 750 Pa) at fuel feed rates of 9.5 and 11.4 $l/h$. Temperatures at five locations inside the combustion furnace and 20 additional locations throughout the whole hot water boiler system were measured to ascertain the combustion characteristics of the heavy oil. From the temperature measurement data, the thermal efficiency of the system was calculated. Flue gas smoke density and concentrations of air-polluting components in the flue gas were also measured by a gas analyzer. Results: As the fuel feed rate or combustion furnace vacuum pressure increased, the average temperature in the combustion furnace decreased but the thermal efficiency of the system showed no distinctive change. On the other hand, the thermal efficiency of the system was inversely proportionally to the vacuum level in the furnace. For all experimental conditions, the thermal efficiency remained in the range of 80.1-89.6%. The CO concentration in the flue gas was negligibly low. The NO and $SO_2$ concentration as well as the smoke density met the legal requirements. Conclusions: Considering the combustion temperature characteristics, thermal efficiency, and flue gas composition, the optimal combustion condition of the system seemed to be either the fuel feed rate of 9.5 $l/h$ with a combustion furnace vacuum pressure of 375 Pa or a fuel feed rate of 11.4 $l/h$ with a furnace vacuum pressure between 500 Pa and 625 Pa.

Simultaneous measurements of oxygen concentration and temperature using diode laser in the combustion environment are successfully accomplished. A single DFB type diode laser of 760 nm line centre frequency is used and the scanned-wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy method and wavelength modulation spectroscopy method are applied to measure absorption signals below 793 K temperature region. The experimental results show that oxygen concentration are measured within 1% accuracy and temperature are measured within 5% accuracy. This new method of simultaneous measurements of concentration and temperature with a single diode laser shows a great promise.
