On March 5, 2014, RADPEC SA has concluded an agreement with the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management relating to the Project entitled: Limiting of flue gas emission by means of modernising the WR-25 boilers at "RADPEC" SA. The Project consists in developing a system which will increase flue gas dedusting efficiency and increase performance of two WR-25 boilers at the "Północ" Heat Plant. The estimated eligible costs amount to PLN 3,195,000, of which 30% will be co-financed by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism. The investment will result in increasing air protection and adjusting the existing systems to the requirements of the 2001/80/EC directive on limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (above 50 MW).

Planned ecological effect:
CO2 [Mg/year] - 678
SO2 [Mg/year] - 2.3
NOX [Mg/year] - 0.8
CO [Mg/year] - 0.3
Dust [Mg/year] - 1.8

In the figure next to the table we can see a typical set of two six-cyclone batteries and exhaust fans. From 2004 on, the boiler fans were gradually equipped with variable speed control systems, i.e. inverters.

Project assumptions:

• Development of a cyclone filter system as a replacement of the cyclone system of the WR 25 boiler,
• Achieving dedusting efficiency below 100mg/nm3 converted into 6% O2,
• Possibility of various modes of operation of the cyclone filter:

o Operation only by a set of the mechanical cyclone dedusters with boiler operation under reduced load (to approx. 15 MW), guaranteeing dust emission below 100 mg/Nm3 converted into 6% O2.
o Operation using only the bag deduster with boiler operation under reduced load (to approx. 15 MW), guaranteeing dust emission below 100 mg/Nm3 converted into 6% O2.
o Operation at full load of the boiler (from 20MW to 29 MW depending on the fuel calorific value) in a mixed (parallel) bag filter and mechanical system, guaranteeing dust emission below 100 mg/Nm3 converted into 6% O2.

Flue gas dedusting system after modernisation 

 

The figure shows the dedusting system downstream the boiler. After passing through the preliminary dedusting at the Multicyclone Flue Gas Deduster (MFGD), flue gas is directed to the cyclone filter (a parallel bag filter and cyclone system). The MFGD will feature a newly-built cyclone system (1) for preliminary suction, which increases the efficiency of dedusting. Then flue gas is directed as follows depending on the adopted mode of operation: to the bags (3), to the cyclones (4) or to the bags and cyclones in parallel. The exhaust fans direct flue gas to the stack through ducts. The dust is removed through exhaust pipes (11) to the pipe and plate conveyor.

 


 

Block diagram of the flue gas system of the modernised WR 25 boiler:

blokowy eng

The efficiency values of the MFGD device and the cyclone filter shown on the block diagram are declared by the manufacturer. General efficiency (curly brackets 98.8%) is the efficiency actually measured by an independent laboratory. The efficiency was obtained with fuel with the following properties: 24/16/06 (calorific value MJ/t / ash content under operational conditions / sulphur content). It shall be stressed that in case of mechanical dedusters, the ash content in the coal is important. If this value is several percent higher, dedusting efficiency decreases dramatically.

In case of reduction of dusts, general tightness of the boiler is very important. Prior to the modernisation of the dedusting system it is important to modernise the pressure part and the boiler setting.

In 2014, Radomskie Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej „RADPEC" Spółka Akcyjna organised two school educational trips to the "Północ" Heat Plant as a part of promotional activities dedicated to rising awareness about the meaning of Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the implementation of the "Limiting of flue gas emission by means of modernising the WR-25 boilers at RADPEC S.A." Project. Promotional activities are performed in accordance with the "Regulation on the implementation of the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 adopted by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs pursuant to Article 8.8 of the Agreement between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the period 2009-2014 on 11 February 2011, as amended on 15 December 2011 and on 14 March 2013", especially with Annex 4 – "Information and Publicity Requirements".

1. The first educational school trip to the "Północ" Heat Plant, where the Project is implemented, took place at 10 June 2014. The participants were students from the nearby tuition-free Primary School (PSP no. 19 in Radom) who first took part in the presentation "Where does the heat come from?".

After the first activity, students took a tour around the “Północ” Heat Plant, discovering what the heat generation looks like and how the “Limiting of flue gas emission by means of modernising the WR-25 boilers at RADPEC S.A.” Project is implemented. During the tour, students learnt what ecological effects the Project will have after its completion. They also found out that the project is being implemented thanks to Norwegian Financial Mechanism grants.

After the tour, students took part in the competition testing their knowledge gained during the visit. The winners were awarded with special RADPEC gadgets (crayon boxes, pendants and reflective lights). All children were given the “Czerwony Kapturek w mieście” [Red Riding Hood in the city] storybook – an educational tale about smart use of heat power and environment protection.

2. The second educational school trip was organised on 29 October 2014 for the students of the Secondary Technical School of Electrical Engineering which is part of the Tadeusz Kościuszko Technical School Complex in Radom. Students, preparing to become power technicians, first took a tour around the plant and then watched a presentation about “Limiting of flue gas emission by means of modernising the WR-25 boilers at RADPEC S.A.” Project, co-financed by Norwegian Financial Mechanism. They were also given informational materials about the project (fliers and print-outs from the presentation).
