Nviro Clean Fuel Technologies
Nviro Clean Fuel Technologies brings together a group of processes to create a unique capability for the pre-treatment of a range of coal and biomass fuels, which can be tailored to clients’ needs in the power generation industries and other sectors.
For power generators:
Nviro delivers lower emission fuels and higher combustion efficiency through:
• |
Biomass pre-treatment to deliver a grindable, hydrophobic and high calorific value fuel ideally suited to co-firing |
• |
Fuel manipulation to deliver desired volatile and fixed carbon content |
• |
Low rank coal pre-treatment using low energy drying solutions |
• |
Hybrid fuel design and additives designed to reduce emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants |
For coal producers:
Nviro adds value and opens up new markets through:
• |
Fuel manipulation to deliver client specific volatile and fixed carbon content |
• |
Low rank coal drying and stabilisation using low energy drying technologies and briquetting |
• |
Hybrid fuel production for higher value sales using emission control additives and pre-processed biomass |
• |
Reduction of fuel contaminants (Sulphur, Mercury and Chlorine) for high value coal and anthracite markets |
For biomass resource owners:
Nviro delivers new opportunities and enhanced value through:
• |
Enhancing the calorific value of biomass resources |
• |
Substantial energy densification resulting in lower shipping costs |
• |
Improving storage and transport properties |
• |
Enhancing co-firing and dedicated combustion properties |
Coal Industry
Coal remains the world’s most abundant source of fuel for power generation. However, coal is a major contributor to climate change and poor air quality, releasing large quantities of CO2, SOx, NOx and mercury.
- The consumption of coal for power generation is forecast to rise from 4.8 to 7 billion tonnes annually by 2030.
- Ever tightening emissions regulations and incentives to reduce carbon emissions are driving the development of new technology.
BioMass
- Sustainably sourced biomass is a carbon neutral fuel and seen as a leading contender in the fight against climate change. For existing coal fired power plant, co-firing of biomass offers a low cost route to reducing CO2 emissions and new technologies in the biomass sector are needed to support ever growing industry demands.
