Problem
Problem II
Nova Scotia Power Corporation is considering cofiring in their Trenton plant (150 Mwe) which fires
coal. The co-firing unit is an external hot gas
generator capable of generating 3 MWth heat.
This hot gas will be fed into the boiler. This unit
will have surface heat loss as per the worst case
scenario in a CFB boiler. Using required data from
sources
Find the reduction in CO2 emission
Savings in fuel cost
Effect on thermal efficiency of the main boiler
