High-voltage plasma torch for pulverized coal burner
NIT, LLC
Tatyana Zykova, CEO
Project product: New generation plasma torch and pulverized coal fuel feed system for coal-burning fire starter and coal firing to support coal flame
Product value: •Exclude fuel oil co-combustion for coal-burning power plants
•Lower fuel costs in generation
•New plasma torch with multijet for− longer torch lifespan, − lower power consumption, − lower system cost
(known as major drawbacks of current fuel oil and sole plasma systems)
Current stage: •1,5 kW plasma torch prototype
•Model patented in Russia, patent application filed
The essence of innovation
Product end-user: coal-burning power plants, currently using fuel oil fire starter and firing to support coal flame
Consumption of coal dust standard grinding, g/sec
5-20
Air flow, l/s < 100
Power coal-dust flame, kW ~100 Max
Life of the electrodes of the plasma torch, hours
>1000
Maximum electric power consumption, kW
<15 kW
Pulverized coal burner specs:
Competitive advantages
Competitive advantages
•High efficiency, over 90%, of new plasma torch
•Torch lifespan not less than 1000 hours
•Lower cost of plasma torch, expensive materials excluded (tungsten, hafnium)
•Inert gases not used
•2x Lower NOx emission
Estimated product economics
Pulverized coal plasma torch CAPEX $480 000 (12 units for each boiler)
Competitive OPEX per year:
•fuel oil = $300 000
•pulverized coal fuel = $200 000
Innovation:
Compared with existing plasma technologies new plasma torch has lower cost and ease of maintenance
Competition
•Plasma torch by Kutateladze Institute of Thermal Physics (Novosibirsk)
•Chineese plasma tourch fire starters
Sales strategy:
•Pilot installations with energy companies
•Collaboration with Design and Engineering companies
Market and Competition
Market segments:
•Coal burning energy production
•Disposal of hazardous waste
Domestic market: Exceeds 3 500 units, 4.2 billion rubles
Foreign markets:We already have proposals from European companies that are interested in plasma torches
