In this project, REI will evaluate the ability of its Advanced
Layered Technology Approach (ALTA) to reduce NOx emissions below
0. This testing builds upon REI's previous experience and
success at Conectiv's (connective's)136 MW BL England Unit 1 and
AmerenUE's 525 MW Sioux Unit 1 where significant NOx reduction was
achieved using RRI and overfire air during the testing timeframe.

Richardson says, "The independent tests confirm the ability of the
BOC CGM process to provide more rapid melting and better pull rates
than conventional zero port boosting, resulting in improved product
quality . BOC's glass experts have years of industry
experience and are focused on designing and delivering solutions that
address customers' productivity, environmental and economic challenges
at their facilities worldwide. Department of Energy National Energy Technology
Laboratory (DOE NETL) has selected Reaction Engineering International

current and proposed NOx control regulations in a cost-effective
manner.

CGM uses
oxy-fuel burners in the crown of a glass furnace to significantly
increase furnace capacity and improve glass quality. Bradley Adams, President, REI said,
"We envision this program as an opportunity to enhance the development
of REI's NOx control technologies for utility boilers in general, and
historically high NOx emitting cyclone-fired boilers in particular.

combustion science and leads BOC's combustion technology development
activities. The simulations also indicate that BOC's CGM process delivers
these benefits with improved efficiencies and significant NOx

In his paper, Richardson will compare the results of the base
air-fuel case against cases for conventional oxy-fuel boosting and CGM
oxy-fuel boosting. EPRI

It therefore makes some sense for searchers and submitters to look at both this Furnaces_Incinerators_Kilns category and the Thermal_Process one to determine where their interests are likely to be best served.

These NOx levels represent
reductions up to 90% below initial cyclone baseline emissions,
reductions that were previously possible only with SCR technologies. REI's clients
include power generation companies , industrial manufacturers,
chemical, petrochemical and process companies, and government
organizations such as U.

Thus, the Thermal_Process category -- which is focused on the steps taken in advancing the condition of materials and manufactured parts towards a desired finished state -- contains an additional number of furnace type sites.

CGM was developed by BOC beginning in 1995 and has since been applied
in furnaces ranging in size from 16 to 700 tons per day. The tests
conducted at the AmerenUE Sioux plant will also evaluate the impact on
balance-of-plant issues such as the amount of unburned carbon in the
ash, slag tapping, ammonia slip, waterwall corrosion and heat
distribution.

It includes furnaces, ovens, kilns, crucibles, and other devices that use direct or indirect heat provided by solid fuel, gas, oil, or electricity, or, in a few cases, rely on heat generated by alternative means.
