Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel preparation process used on power plants for the preparation for example by milling and drying of pulverous fuel and in particular carbonaceous fuel such as pulverised coal and to an apparatus embodying the process.
- the invention is in particular applied in the context of milling and drying of pulverous fuel for supply as a fuel source to a thermal power plant.
- the invention is in particular applied to the process for fuel milling and drying for lignite power plants or biomass power plants. Additionally the invention is relevant to waste to energy plants.
- the process aims to improve the standard/conventional process for the preparation for example by milling and drying of coal for coal power plants.
- the process aims to improve the standard/conventional process for fuel preparation and drying applied for biomass power plants.
- the process aims to improve the standard/conventional process for fuel preparation for waste to energy power plants.
- the mill dries the coal and then the product is directly transported to the combustion furnace.
- the mills for example fan-beater mills
- the power plant process efficiency impacts significantly the power plant process efficiency.
- the fuel processed by the mill is held in intermediate storage silo, from which it is transported to the furnace.
- the water vapour does not enter the furnace, and therefore the plant efficiency is increased, however the heat consumed by the mill for drying the fuel is still lost.
- Current efforts to improve lignite plant efficiency are focused on pre-drying the coal, and removing the moisture prior to its introduction to the milling system. Therefore the plant efficiency is increased by maximum amount at the expense of significant investment in the drying system.
- Such systems are present on the market and are tested on various full size power plants across the world (i.e. WTA or DryFining process with fluidized bed dryers).
- the known processes based on fluidised bed dryers require an additional milling stage to prepare the coal, otherwise the fluidised phenomenon will not be achieved. This further increases the capital investment of the system.
- the invention seeks to provide a process methodology that addresses initial problems and potentially increases plant efficiency whilst limiting and ideally avoiding the use of capital expensive pre-drying technology.
- a method of preparation of a fuel to produce a pulverous fuel supply in particular for supply as fuel to a steam generator such as a boiler for example of a thermal power plant comprises the steps of:
- a heat exchanger preferably being a process fluid heat exchanger such as a feed water heat recovery heat exchanger to dry the gas phase.
- the fuel preparation unit is preferably a fuel pulveriser such as a mill adapted to receive a mixture of fuel and a gas and to mill the fuel to a pulverous state.

- the gas phase becomes laden with water vapour.
- the invention separates at least a major part of the water vapour laden gas phase that has been created by the milling and drying and/ or transport and/ or storage of the fuel.
- the water vapour is not passed to the combustion furnace. This avoids the penalty of increased ID fan power demand.
- the invention uses a heat exchanger preferably being a process fluid heat exchanger such as a feed water heat recovery heat exchanger downstream of the phase separator to effect condensation of vapour moisture.
- Latent heat consumed by the drying process is in the preferred case recovered and transferred to a process fluid for recovery of sensible heat for use in an industrial process, and in particular is used to preheat feed water.
- the invention is applied to a combined milling and drying apparatus and method for the milling and drying of coal of high moisture content, and examples are discussed hereinbelow in such a context.

- the supply conduit is configured to supply the fuel phase to a storage silo for example being a storage silo of an indirectly fired steam generator.
- an apparatus in accordance with any preceding claim further comprises a storage volume and a supply conduit to receive the fuel phase and supply the fuel phase to the storage volume.
- Figure 1 is an example system for the supply of pulverous fuel directly to the burners for combustion in combustion furnace embodying the principles of the invention
- Figure 2 is an example system for the indirect supply of pulverous fuel embodying the principles of the invention.
- the proposed system is used in conjunction with the state of the art milling system such as a fan-beater mill.
- the process incorporates the use of a feed water heat recovery heat exchanger to dry the gas phase of fan-beater mill product stream and thereby also to recover at least some of the latent heat input from the drying process.
- Fuel for combustion for example comprising a carbonaceous fuel of relatively high moisture content such as a lignite or other low-rank fuel, is delivered from a fuel supply 2 and combined with a hot gas stream comprising a mixture of cold or preheated air 4 and flue gas 6.
- the mixture is supplied to a beater mill 8 to be milled into pulverous form suitable for combustion.
- the hot gases within the mill dry the fuel to a more suitable state for combustion. For example a moisture content of 25 to 60% is reduced to 5 to 10%.
- Water vapour from the fuel passes into the gas phase. However if the product of the mill is directly transported to the combustion furnace including the water vapour that has been created by drying the fuel this may reduce the process efficiency because the water vapour that has been created by drying the fuel is passed to the combustion furnace.
- the stream that leaves the beater mill is first separated at the phase separator 12 into a pulverised and dried fuel phase, and a gas phase.
- the gas phase is passed through a feed water heat exchanger 10 where the condensation of vapour moisture is carried out.
- This enables the plant to reduce the ID fan power demand, hence increase power plant energy sales. Additionally the process efficiency increases as the gas leaving the power plant will have less moisture and therefore a smaller heat capacity, what will result in less heat being lost through the chimney. Additionally the process efficiency increases as the latent heat consumed by the mill for drying is recovered and transferred to pre-heat the feed water. Importantly, this will reduce the fuel consumption while the power plant output will remain unchanged.
- the pulverised fuel phase substantially denuded of the gas and water vapour mixture, is passed to the burners 13 of a combustion furnace 14 of a steam generator.
- the pulverised fuel phase is supplied directly.
- Figure 2 is an example system for the indirect supply of pulverous fuel to a silo 11 for onward supply to the burners 13 of a combustion chamber 14 of a steam generator.
- the steam generator may be on any suitable conventional or bespoke design.
- the process calculation of the described solution shows that assumed 50% latent heat recovery in the system the power plant net efficiency will increase by 2.65%p, and if 90% of heat recovery is achieved, the application of the invention will improve the net efficiency by 3.84%p.
- the amount of heat recovery is driven by the economic factors that influence the design to increase cost effectiveness of the system.
- the dried fuel product separated from the gas phase in separator is passed directly to the burners for combustion in combustion furnace as presented on figure 1, or is safely stored in intermediate storage device (i.e. silo) and then transferred to the burners for combustion as presented on figure 2.
- intermediate storage device i.e. silo
- current invention could be used to dry the raw fuel and store the product for transportation (i.e. shipping) and combustion on remote location.
