Gains in Operating Efficiency Achieved With the Implementation of Continuous, Real-Time Analysis of Firing Rate and Cake Solids from Fluid Bed Incinerator Flue Gas Data
Abstract
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) owns and operates three 105 dry tons per day (DTPD) fluidized bed incinerators (FBIs). Regulatory compliance requires the calculation of the firing rate based on daily total solids measurements and cake pumping rate. While this is acceptable for regulatory monitoring purposes, optimization of the combustion process needs a real-time computation of firing rate to account for variability of the total solids (%TS) during the operating day. This paper describes the development and initial testing of a real-time firing rate and %TS algorithm that can better match firing rate to combustion capacity.
