General description:

The project concerns energy efficiency in heat production by fuel switching. Gasification of a boiler house in combination with co-generation is demonstrated in Szamotuly. The cogenerator will be donated by the Netherlands government to support the introduction of these environmentally more friendly cogenerators and to support the transfer of technology. The donation is also needed at this stage in the Polish energy market development since this pilot project is not commercially viable yet. The heat produced by the cogenerator will be used for the supply of hot water to the end-users. The electricity will be delivered to the grid, owned by EP. In addition to this, environmental measurements concerning the reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gasses and other environmental aspects, will be executed during this project.

BASELINE STUDY ABSTRACT

The objective of the baseline study was to examine the situation within the range concerning the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants which prevails before the pilot project is going to be realised. The pilot project consists in replacing two existing coal-fired boiler houses with one gas-fired CHP plant with a co-generation unit. The analysis was carried out by means of a method based on calculations of the volume of emission resulting from the conditions of operating sources which is heat load, fuel used and the quality of fuel.

Furthermore, taking into consideration the same parameters for heat base load, the calculations for the volume of greenhouse gases emission and other pollutants were carried out for the time once the project is implemented.

Those calculations allowed to estimate the quantity of the reduction of greenhouse gases and other pollutants as the result of activities undertaken in the connection with the pilot project.

THE ANALYSIS OF POLLUTANTS EMISSION FROM OLD BOILER HOUSES

The planned investment venture was going to cover the area which was served by two sources:

Boiler house no. 817 located in M.C. Sklodowskiej 1,

Boiler house no. 824 located in Wisniowa Street.

The maximum demand for heat generated in these two sources was:

for the needs of central heating 2,014 MW

for the needs of hot water 0,473 MW

General characteristics of the fuel

The heaters in both boiler houses were fired by the mixture of hard coal, class 31/05/04 size grade II and fine coal M-IIa (class 23/18/06) in the ratio 4:1. On the basis of date included in the invoices issued by the fuel supplier in 1997, the average technological parameters are as follows:

hard coal, class 31/05/04 size grade II

net calorific value Qw = 31 314 kJ/kg,

coal content Cr = 78,30 %,

ash content Ar = 3,64 %,

moisture content Wr = 4,27 %,

sulphur content Sr = 0,34 %,

fine coal M-IIa (class 23/18/06)

net calorific value Qw = 24 331 kJ/kg,

coal content Cr = 64,33 %,

ash content Ar = 16,30 %,

moisture content Wr = 9,00 %,

sulphur content Sr = 0,55 %,

The characteristics of the operation of the boiler houses in 1996 and 1997

On the basis of the data provided by Local Heating Company in Szamotuly some of the parameters were estimated, namely: the volume of heat generation, the monthly average heat power of the boiler houses, fuel consumption, separately for hard coal and fine coal for years 1996 and 1997. As it seems from the results, the average efficiency for both boiler houses was 50-53 % so there is a considerable discrepancy with their nominal efficiency.

The methodology of calculating the volume of the pollutants’ emission

Typical environmental pollutants emitted by coal-fired boiler houses are basically present in the combustion gas: non-toxic dust, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide.

The emission of dust

The quantity of dust depends on the fuel quality (the content of ash, sinterability etc.), the construction features of a heater (the kind of grate, the system of channels) and the method of a heater’s maintenance. The volume of dust produced during the process of burning is stated in percentage of ash content which together with fuel goes to the grate, accounts for U= 10-20%. The reduction in the volume takes place in the cyclone dust collectors or sedimentation chambers.

The emission of dust once the dust collector is passed is calculated on the basis of the following relationship:

Gpe = B * Ar *U *(1-h ) [kg]

Where: B- the volume of burnt fuel [kg]

Ar - the content of ash in fuel [kg/kg]

U – the volume of dust carried by the combustion gas

h - the efficiency of dust collecting

In the calculations of the volume of dust emission in boiler houses in Szamotuly it was assumed that the ash content in fuel is the average content of ash in particular months in the case of thick coal (Ar = 3,64 %) and fine coal (Ar = 16,30 %). It was assumed that the volume of dust carried with the combustion gas is U=15% for natural sequence (a boiler house no. 817) and U = 20% for an induced sequence (a boiler house no. 824) and the efficiency of the dust collectors is respectively:

For a boiler house no. 817 (M.C. Sklodowskiej) with sedimentation chambers - h = 30%

For a boiker house no. 824 (Wisniowa) with cyclones - h = 75%.

The emission of SO2

While calculating the figures for the emission of sulphur dioxide it was assumed that in the case of coal burning 80% of sulphur in fuel is carried away together with combustion gases into the atmosphere and 20 % is in ash and slag. The emission of SO2 was calculated on the following basis:

GSO2 = 1.6 * B * Sr [kg]

Where: B- the quantity of burnt fuel

Sr- the content of sulphur in fuel [kg/kg}

The ratio1.6 can be explained by the fact that 90% of sulphur is carried by combustion gases as SO2 and that proportions of constituting this compound are as following:

32 kg S + 32 kg O2 = 64 kg SO2.

The emission of CO2 and CO

The emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide depend primarily on the content of element of carbon C [kg/kg} in fuel. However the volume and relations between these compounds are determined by the quality of the very process of burning, and particularly by the quantity of losses in non-complete burning Sp and losses in non-complete burning of SCO.

The first loss will decide upon the volume of element carbon Cr will be burnt to CO2 i CO. The loss can be describe by the following relation:

Sp = Cp*33 900 / Qw

Where: Cp – the volume of non-burnt element carbon [kg/kg]

33 900 – the calorific value of burning element carbon [kJ/kg]

Qw – net calorific value of fuel [kJ/kg]

Therefore the volume of burnt element carbon is:

C – Cp = C*(1 – Sp * Qw / 33 900) [kg/kg].

The loss in non-complete burning will decide upon the quantitative relation CO2 to CO. That loss can be described by the following relation:

SCO = 25 000 / Qw * [CO] / ([CO]+[CO2])

Where: 25 000 - the calorific value of burning combustion gases

[CO] – the content of CO in combustion gases {m3/ m3 )

[CO2] – the content of CO2 in combustion gases {m3/ m3 )

From that relation it seems that element carbon which is burnt to CO2 is:

CCO2 = C*(1 – Sp * Qw / 33 900) * (1 – SCO* Qw / 25 000) [kg/kg],

Whereas the volume of element carbon burnt to CO is:

CCO = C*(1 – Sp * Qw / 33 900) * SCO* Qw / 25 000 [kg/kg].

Taking into account mass relations in the process of burning carbon C, then according to the following equations:

12 kg C + 32 kg O2 = 44 kg CO2,

12 kg C + 16 kg O2 = 28 kg CO,

The emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide while burning B [kg} of fuel can be taken from the following relations:

GCO2 = B * 44 / 12 * C*(1 – Sp * Qw / 33 900) * (1 – SCO* Qw / 25 000) [kg],

GCO = B * 28 / 12 * = C*(1 – Sp * Qw / 33 900) * SCO* Qw / 25 000 [kg].

These formula were used while calculating the volume of emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the analysed coal-fired boiler houses in Szamotuly assuming that in the case of stable grate the loss in non-complete burning of Sp = 6% (for natural sequence – a boiler house no. 817) and Sp = 8% (for induced sequence – a boiler house no. 824) whereas the loss in non-complete burning of SCO = 2.5 % for both boiler houses.

The emission of NO2

The emission of NO2 was calculated using the indicator of the load of NO2 determined experimentally for coal-fired heaters with a stable grate (advised by the Ministry of Environmental Protection Natural Resources and Forestry (MEPNR&F)):

For heaters with natural flow w = 1 kg/Mg,

for heaters with induced flow w = 1.5 kg/Mg

The emission of NO2 was calculated on the basis on the following relation:

GNO2 = B * w [kg].

The volume of emission determined for coal-fired boiler houses in Szamotuly

Using the methodology of determining the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere presented above and operating parameters of boiler houses, the calculations were carried out for the volume of dust emission, emission of SO2, CO2, CO and NO2 in the subsequent months of 1997 separately for a boiler house no. 817 (Sklodowska) and for a boiler house no. 824 (Wisniowa). In the calculations the average data characterising the consumed fuel were used.

THE POLLUTANTS EMISSION FROM SYSTEM POWER PLANTS GENERATING ELECTRICITY BEING THE EQUIVALENT OF THE ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY THE PLANNED CHP PLANT

Electricity which is to be generated in the planned CHP plant in Szamotuly would be otherwise produced in system power plants. It would be then connected with the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. The evaluation of the volume of such pollutant emission is the result of the conditions which Polish power plants work. The complete data allowing for determining the emission indicators were gathered in 1994:

The annual production of CHP plants in Poland was 112 352 GWh,

The annual coal consumption in those CHP plants was 95 374 000 Mg

with the average calorific value 12 477 kJ/kg

The chemical energy consumption in those CHP plants was 1 189 981 300 GJ

The average generating efficiency 34 %

The emission of dust

The average content of dust in burnt coal in CHP plants accounted for Ar = 15,4 %. The indicator of dust emission was 0,176 kg/GJ which annually is 209 437 Mg. Taking into account the annual electricity generation – the indicator of dust emission per electricity unit was:

1,864 kg/MWh

The emission of SO2

The average content of sulphur in burnt coal in CHP plants accounted for Sr = 0,71 %.. The indicator of SO2 emission was 1 156 908 Mg. Taking into account the annual electricity generation – the indicator of SO2 emission per electricity unit was:

10,30 kg/MWh

The emission of CO2

According to Grubba the unit CO2 emission accounts for:

For hard coal 98,27 kg/GJ

For fine coal 94,60 kg/GJ

In Polish conditions, taking into account the relation between the hard coal consumption and lignite consumption, the unit emission from CHP plants was 95,80 kg/GJ. The annual value of CO2 emission for such an indicator was 114 000 200 Mg. Taking into account the annual electricity generation – the indicator of CO2 emission per electricity unit was:

1,01467 Mg/MWh

The emission of CO

The unit emission of CO for large heaters according to MEPNR&F is 5 kg/Mg.

The annual value of the CO emission for such an indicator is 476 875 Mg. Taking into account the annual electricity generation – the indicator of CO emission per electricity unit was:

4,24 kg/MWh

The emission of NO2

The unit emission of NO2 for large heaters according to the MEPNR&F is 4 kg/Mg. The annual value of the NO2 emission for such an indicator is 381 500 Mg. Taking into account the annual electricity generation – the indicator of NO2 emission per electricity unit was:

3,4 kg/MWh

For the value of generated electricity 1664 MWh which can be generated in the planned CHP plant the value of annual pollutant emission in CHP power plants is:

dust 1664 MWh * 1,864 kg/MWh = 3 102 kg

SO2 1664 MWh * 10,30 kg/MWh = 17 139 kg

CO2 1664 MWh * 1,01467 Mg/MWh = 1 688,4 Mg

CO 1664 MWh * 4,24 kg/MWh = 7 055 kg

NO2 1664 MWh * 3,40 kg/MWh = 5 658 kg

THE COMPARISON OF THE POLLUTANT EMISSION FROM THE PLANNED CHP PLANT WITH THE EXISTING BOILER HOUSES IN SZAMOTULY

The figures for the volume of pollutant emission from existing coal-fired boiler houses calculated above and the figures connected with the generation of 1664 MWh of electricity in CHP plants, allow for the calculating the total value of pollutant emission before the implementation of the project. Those figures are compared against the figures for the existing situation. They are all presented in the table E 2.1.

E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:

Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:

Technical description of a planned CHP plant

The heat demand for the planned source in the local heating system in the area along M.C. Sklodowskiej in Szamotuly which is to replace two existing coal-fired boiler houses no. 817 and no. 824 includes both heat for local heating system as well as hot water and can be presented in the following figures:

heat (co) (external temp. 18oC 2014 kW,

hot water (cwu) 473 kW

Total 2487 kW.

The following equipment is assumed to meet the above demand:

Co-generation unit Zantec 230 HR,

Two gas heaters with their heat capacity 1100 kW each,

Heat accumulator with capacity 3,7 MW

The co-generation unit will work in the peak base load with the annual consumption of the installed capacity circa 6500 h/a, whereas the rest of the demand will be met by gas-fired heaters. The CHP plant will be –fired by gas GZ-50 with heat of combustion Qc= 39 549 kJ/m3

The characteristics of burnt fuel

Generating equipment in the CHP plant will be fired by gas GZ-50. On the basis of data sent by Local Gas Company in Poznan, the average technological parameters of this fuel in 1997 were the following:

Heat of combustion Qc = 39 549 kJ/m3

Net calorific value Qw = 35 670 kJ/m3,

Content of CH4 = 96,0886 %

Content of C2H6 = 1,3004 %

Content of C3H8 = 0,2392 %

Content of C4H10 = 0,0552 %

Content of C5H12 = ,0152 %

Content of C6H14 = 0,0142 %

Content of N2 = 2,2514 %

Content of CO2 = 0,0285 %.

The characteristics of CHP plant operation

In order to compare the work of planned CHP plant with the work of two existing boiler houses the calculations of energy generation were carried out with the assumption of heat demand from 1997. The volume of heat and electricity generation and the consumption of fuel was calculated. The assumed energy efficiency was 85%.

The methodology of calculating the volume of polluting substances

Typical pollutants emitted by gas-fired plants are present in combustion gas: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide.

The emission of SO2

There will be no emission of SO2 in the case of burning gas GZ-50 with its content given above, because in the composition of this fuel there are not any sulphur compounds present.

The emission of CO2

The emission of CO2 depends on the content of carbon C in fuel. The determinants will be hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide in gas GZ-50 presented above. Because the carbon dioxide present in the combustion gas is the co-product of carbon dioxide being the result of exothermic processes of hydrocarbons burning and pure carbon dioxide present in fuel, therefor the volume of emitted CO2 can be calculated from the following relation:

GCO2 = B * (CH4 + 2*C2H6 + 3*C3H8 +4*C4H10 +5*C5H12 +6*C6H14 + CO2 )*44 / 22,42/100

Where B; the volume of burnt gas fuel [m3]

CH4 , C2H6 , C3H8 , C4H10 , C5H12 , C6H14 , CO2 the volume share in fuel [%]

For the fuel composition given above this dependence can be presented as follows:

GCO2 = B * 1,958952 [kg].

The emission of CO

The emission of CO was calculated using the indicator of the load of CO determined experimentally for the equipment fired by gas GZ-50 with the heat efficiency < 1,4 MWt (suggested by MEPNR&F):

w = 360 kg/106m3

The emission of CO was calculated from the following relation:

GCO = B * w [kg].

The emission of NO2

The emission of NO2 was calculated using the indicator of the load of NO2 determined experimentally for the equipment fired by gas GZ-50 with the heat efficiency < 1,4 MWt (suggested by MEPNR&F):

w = 1280 kg/106m3

The emission of NO2 was calculated from the following relation:

GNO2 = B * w [kg].

The volume of the emission calculated for the planned CHP plant in Szamatuly

Using the methodology for the determination of the emission of polluting substances into the atmosphere, presented above and the operating parameters of the planned CHP plant in Szamotuly, the volume of CO2, CO and NO2 emission was calculated for the subsequent months of a year. The figures of this volume are presented in the table E 2.1.

G. Contribution to capacity building, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how to other Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention. In this process, the developed country Parties shall support the development and enhancement of endogenous capacities and technologies of developing country Parties

Describe briefly the transfer of environmentally sound technology and know-how including where appropriate the type of technology, terms, education, capacity building etc.

Business development and transfer of technology to the Joint Venture Cogen. Establishing a business and institutional framework for the modernisation of similar BH’s. Technology transfer starts with gas fired boilers and small scale co-generation systems involving transfer of technology in terms of organisation, finance and operations.

H. Additional comments, if any, including any practical experience gained or technical difficulties, effects, impacts or other obstacles encountered

Fill in as appropriate:

H. 1) Any practical experience gained:

H. 2) Technical difficulties:

During technical discussions appeared that due to very bad condition of circulation system of district heating network there is a possibility that not all heat produced in a boiler house might be distributed to the customers. So it was decided to extend investment by modernising also circulation system (pumps and vessels for hot water accumulation).

H. 3) negative impacts and/or effects encountered:

Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description should be given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s). (If the amount of quantitative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
