MARK & Wedell in Ukraine: In 1998, the first steps were taken to form a co-operation between the Danish Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Ecology of Ukraine, MWA of Denmark, International Centre of Energy Efficient Technologies (ICEET) of Ukraine and the Trypilia TPP. The aim of the project was to reduce the coal consumption and to reduce the harmful emission gases from the power stations. Finally, in May 2000 the installation of a total of 8 complete sets of Residual Carbon Analysers (RCA-2000) and one PFS were commissioned at the Trypilia TPP. The results were indeed encouraging: A reduction of the carbon in fly ash of almost 6% was reached. With the characteristics of the coals burned during the test period, the reduction of these parameters would give the Trypilia TPP a potential saving of coals to the burners of about 10% 15%. At the Trypilia TPP, both gas and coal are used as combustible, but even with as little as 20% of the total power generated originating from coal, a considerable saving can be reached. In addition to the coal saving, there is an equivalent significant reduction of fly ash produced, and of a better quality, although the direct use of the ash in the cement and concrete industries still need a further decrease in the carbon content in the ash. As a consequence of the coal saving and improved efficiency of the boiler regimen, equivalent reductions in emission (CO2, NOx and SO2) levels were also reached. Another spectacular consequence of the installation of the 8 RC-2000 analysers occurred later in 2000 where a new regimen for the Try-pilia TPP had to be established for a new coal type. According to the boiler specialists working in this field, such an operation could take as long as 4 weeks. Furthermore, commissioning of new boiler regimens can be reduced from 2 hours to 20-30 minutes. Thanks to the RCA-2000 equipment, this task was completed in only one week. MARK & Wedell in the East European countries: Similar to the installations and experience at the Trypilia TPP in Ukraine, MWA has installed RCA equipment at the following coal-fired thermal power stations in the region:
Conclusion: Over 200 analysers of carbon in ash have been installed worldwide in more than 20 countries, all of them providing valuable information to the operators of coal fired power stations, saving natural resources and money and protecting the environment.
