<p>The heat output, e.g., megawatt product or steam generation, of a combustor is increased, preferably while plume is mitigated, by targeting treatment chemicals to locations in a furnace. The process improves heat output from the fuel in the region of the combustor optimum for heat recovery and also maintains good heat transfer characteristics for the heat exchange surfaces. The effectiveness of targeted in furnace injection, in-fuel introduction and in-furnace introduction of slag and/or corrosion and/or plume control chemicals are preferably determined, as are the effectiveness of targeted in furnace injection, in fuel introduction and in furnace introduction of combustion catalysts. Then, the effectiveness of various combinations of the above treatments are determined, and a treatment regimen employing one or more of the above treatments is selected. Preferred treatment regimens will contain at least two and preferably three of the treatments. Chemical utilization and boiler maintenance can improved as LOI carbon, slagging and/or corrosion are also controlled. In one preferred embodiment, the invention enables increasing by determining the positions for effective introduction of slag controlling chemical, introducing targeted slag controlling chemical treatment in an amount effective to reduce slag and introducing a combustion catalyst into the flame in an amount effective to improve combustion.</p> |
