Pulverized coal (PC) has become an important auxiliary fuel in the iron and steel industry since the technique of pulverized coal injection (PCI) system was developed for iron making. Combustion efficiencies of pulverized coal in blowpipes and tuyeres under various operational are numerically predicted to recognize the performance with the locations of nozzles in a blast furnace. A variety of parameters including the pulverized coal quantities, oxygen amounts, inlet temperature of the tuyeres and mass flow rate of coal carrier gas are taken into consideration. Also In order to develop more efficient than existing coal injection system, this study applies a flame measurement system using a charge couple device (CCD) camera and frame grabber. And it has used algorithms of auto sampling from flame shape information and composed the device for location control of PCI. This study find to further improve the blast furnace performance by the control of PCI locations.

To achieve the required higher efficiency and lower emission performance, Korea's 300 MW IGCC RDD&D (Research Development, Demonstration and Dissemination) project was launched in December 2006 under the leadership of the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), with the support of the Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy. Our research group, KEPCO Research Institute had set-up the a coal gasifier for the pilot test and conducted many experiments for parametric study in this project. Our group focused visualization of pulverized coal injection pattern in the gasifier. Through this study we found that two types of coal burners having different oxygen supply angles can be a source changing gasification condition like temperature.

Pulverized coal (PC) has become an important auxiliary fuel in the iron and steel industry since the technique of pulverized coal injection (PCI) was developed for iron making. The combustion efficiencies of pulverized coal in blowpipes and tuyeres under various operational conditions are numerically predicted to determine the performance levels with regard to different locations of the nozzles in a blast furnace. A variety of parameters, including the pulverized coal quantities, oxygen amounts, inlet temperatures of the tuyeres, and the mass flow rate of coal carrier gas are taken into consideration. Also, in order to develop greater efficiency than those of existing coal injection systems, this study applies a flame measurement system using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and a frame grabber. It uses auto sampling algorithms from the flame shape information to determine the device for the optimal location control for PCI. This study finds further improvements of the blast furnace performance via the control of the PCI locations.

This paper introduces the automatic fine Bituminous Coal injection lance position control method using flame image process. The fine Coal injection lance is used to supply additional heat into the furnace in Mill plant. It injects fine coal into high pressured air flow and produces very heated and high pressured flame. For the such high temperature and pressure, the fine coal injection lance effects not only efficiency of burner but also furnace abrasion. To keep efficient combustion status and to avoid the abrasion, in this paper, the flame is monitored by computer image process. This paper proposes the flame image process method and lance position control according to calculated result for flame image process.

Recently, according to increase in the requirement of electric power, a thermoelectric power plant equipped with pulverized coal combustion system is highly valued, because coal has abundant deposits and a low price compared with others. For efficient use of coal fuel, most of plant makers are studying to improve combustion performance and flame stability, and reduce pollutant emission. One of these studies is how to control the profile of particle injection and velocity dependant on coal nozzle. Basically, a mixed flow of gas and particle in coal nozzle is required to have appropriate injection and concentration distribution at exit to achieve flame stability and low pollutant, but it is very difficult to obtain that without help of a coal separating device within nozzle. In this study, each distribution of air and coal flow rate is measured for the coal nozzle with coal separator developed by us. The coal concentration at exit is various according to inlet swirl values and positions of coal separator. Also pressure drop is measured for various operating conditions of this nozzle. From these results, we can find the separation characteristic of new developed coal separator, and select proper operation range of coal nozzle. When this coal nozzle is applied to actual plant, these investigations will be very useful to confirm the shape of coal separator to have efficient particle injection.

본 연구에서는 미분탄의 연소과정을 파악하기 위하여 메탄-공기 예혼합 화염에서 연소중인 석탄입자를 단계별로 여러 위치에서 순간 냉각에 의해 채취한 후 단면을 관측함으로써 미분탄 연소과정의 해석을 시도하였다. 산소 함유량이 미분탄 연소에 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위하여 반응로에서의 연소 조건을 바꾸어 보았다. 또한 미분탄 연소과정의 이해를 돕기 위해 비분탄을 도가니에 넣어 전기 로에서 가열하여 얻은 챠르와 공기중에서 가열하여 얻은 회(ash)에 대한 단면을 관측하였다. 시험용 미분탄은 국내 발전소 등지에서 대량 소비되는 수입 유연탄을 사용하였다.

Recently, according to increase in the requirement of electric power, a thermoelectric power plant equipped with pulverized coal combustion system is highly valued, because coal has abundant deposits and a low price compared with others. For efficient use of coal fuel, most of plant makers are studying to improve combustion performance and flame stability, and reduce pollutants emission. One of these studies is how to control the profile of particle injection and velocity dependant on coal nozzle configuration. Basically, nozzle which has mixed flow of gas and particle is required to have the balanced coal concentration at exit, but it is very difficult to obtain that by itself without help of other device. In this study, coal distribution and pressure drop in gas-solid flow are calculated by numerical method in nozzle with various shapes of venturi diffuser as a means to get even coal particle distribution. The tentative correlations of pressure drop and exit coal distribution are deduced as function of the height, length and reducing angle of venturi from the calculated results. When coal hurner nozzle is designed, these equations are very useful to optimize the shape of venturi which minimize uneven particle distribution and pressure drop within coal nozzle.

본 연구는 최근 대형고로에 도입된 PCI 시스템에서 석탄의 탄종에 따른 연소 특성을 파악하기 위해, 고로내 석탄의 연소환경을 잘 모사할 수 있는 층류반응기(LFR)을 이용하여 화염형상을 분석하고, 체류시간별 입자의 온도와 배기가스인 CO와 $CO_2$를 측정하였다. 화염형상의 가시적인 분석뿐만 아니라, 입자온도와 배기가스의 배출특성을 근거로 하여 휘발분 연소와 촤 연소 구간을 구분하였다. 특히 CO는 고로내 발생하는 산화철의 환원반응에 영향을 주는 인자로써, 본 연구에서는 탄종별 CO의 배출시점과 특성에 대한 분석이 이루어졌다. 휘발분 함량이 많은 탄종의 연소 초기 입자온도는 높게 측정되었지만, 휘발분 연소구간이 길어지면서 이후에 연속적으로 시작되는 촤 연소가 지연되었다. 촤 연소구간에서는 연료비가 높을수록 CO발생량이 상대적으로 많고, 적정온도가 유지되었다.

This report presents a study of the development of an advanced coal nozzle used in burners to reduce unburned carbon (UBC) in a tangential coal-fired boiler. To understand the mechanism of UBC reduction, experiments using conventional burners were carried out to evaluate the effects of air injection velocity, coal fineness and over fired air (OFA) on combustion efficiency. It was confirmed that ignition of pulverized coal particles close to the burner is helpful toward the complete burn of residual carbon in fly ash. These efforts indicated the additional results that UBC was strongly dependent on the primary air velocity and coal fineness; especially that UBC dramatically decreased when the weight fraction of pulverized coal under $75{\mu}m$ was over 85 %. New coal nozzles, modified from conventional nozzles, were prepared and tested to improve the combustion efficiency. Some of these nozzles offered relatively lower unburned carbon than those of conventional burners and are referred to as HPFS (High Performance Flame Stability) coal nozzles.

Coal-burning utilities are facing a major NOx control compliance challenge due to the heavy emission regulation. In response to this challenge, some applicative technologies to effectively reduce NOx are developed and applied in the pulverized coal power plants. One of these is low NOx burner(LNB) equipped with multi-staged air register. In this study, NOx emission rate and flame shapes are investigated with secondary and tertiary air flow conditions in air staged coal burner, and the optimal windows of flow conditions to minimize NOx emission rate are found out. The test conditions treated in this study are the flow rate, swirl direction and intensity and throat injection velocity of secondary and tertiary air.
