Heat Recovery Strategies for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Cost Reduction
Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc.
Time: 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm Theater: B Description: This presentation is part of a group of presentations by members of the Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC)
Increases in fuel and electric costs have resulted in many chemical facilities analyzing what changes could be made to reduce the operating expenses of their process and pollution control equipment.
Making modifications or efficiency improvements such as recirculation or heat recovery to your process equipment is an excellent way to not only reduce operating costs but also your carbon footprint. When added to the stack of a heat generating device, heat exchangers can capture upwards of 80% of that energy so that it can be reused to generate hot air, water, steam or even electricity. This presentation will address the field-proven techniques used to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions from chemical processing plants. Also included in the discussion will be several brief case studies highlighting the potential savings and payback of these projects.
1:45 pm
Flow Modeling for Chemical Processing
Airflow Sciences Corp.
Time: 1:45 pm - 2:15 pm Theater: B Description: This presentation is part of a group of presentations by members of the Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC)
Issues such as pollution control, erosion, efficiency, reducing expenses, designing and evaluating equipment, and increasing throughput are always on the mind of those involved in chemical processing. Tools such as CFD or physical flow modeling can provide information to the scientist and engineer for better understanding and controlling these issues. Whether the process involves mixing, drying, filtration, dispersion, injections, chemical reaction, heat or mass transfers, performing a flow model can provide insight and nuances that can improve almost any process. A brief overview of both CFD and physical flow modeling will be addressed, with pros and cons of each methodology. Examples including combustion, gas injection, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), static mixers, and drying will be presented showing how flow modeling was used to alleviate problems and improve performance.
2:00 pm
Emission Control Technologies for the Chemical Industry
Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc.
Time: 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm Theater: A Description: Different oxidizer technologies are used on various applications in the chemical industry for the destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) and odorous emissions. Selecting the proper oxidizer technology is no longer just a function of regulatory compliance. With cap-and-trade legislation and higher fuel prices looming it is crucial that facilities know what oxidizer will keep their carbon footprint to a minimum with low operating costs. This presentation will examine the typical emission streams found at chemical facilities and evaluate each oxidizer type for those specific applications. It will also focus on operating cost reduction strategies and the different options that plants should consider to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
2:30 pm
Alternative Monitoring Systems for the Chemical Industry
an ICAC Member Company
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm Theater: B Description: This presentation is part of a group of presentations by members of the Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC)
A combustor/burner is fired via a carbon based fuel such as natural gas, oil, coal or some form of biomass that is continuously fed into the combustor chamber at which point total material and pollutant destruction takes place. (for Title-V these are typically boilers, waste incinerators, RTOs) The use of this fuel results in a "cost to operate" that can be minimized, thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions output by optimizing burner efficiency.
Efficiency is a direct correlation of data derived from the carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) operating values. Monitoring O2 and CO as a process application for combustor/burner control has been widely accepted in the utility and industrial source market and has played a strong role in optimization of burner/boiler efficiency. In addition, there is a fundamental thermodynamic application for combustion that is consistent with all methods of burning fuel. By setting a low limit of CO for maximizing efficiency and an upper limit NOx value from permit restrictions, the relationship of NOx to CO dictates the operating range for excess O2. Using a compliance monitoring system to meet Title-V requirements with simple feedback control is cost effective.
Predictive Emissions Measurements Systems (PEMS) is a well proven and accurate way to provide source emissions reporting with continuous parameter validation. The average PEMS costs approximately 50% of a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) with yearly operating costs at approximately 20% of a CEMS. The principle of PEMS is to use existing plant process control inputs (parametric devices/values) into a standardized software application that is then site specifically modeled to provide a continuous real-time monitoring system that does not require frequent recalibrations or any moving parts that can be exposed to sever environments. The PEMS initial setup must have an emission model that reflects the relationship between existing process operations and source/ambient conditions to emissions. A PEMS must have a data verification method that can guarantee 100% sensor validation to ensure the accuracy of the data.
