Calculating Energy Efficiency Using A Chemical Mass Balance Method Crispin Pemberton-Pigott Reporting research on the combustion of solid fuels conducted at SeTAR Centre, University of Johannesburg Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town China Agricultural University, Beijing Presented at Brookhaven National Laboratory – 7 April 2016

Problem Statement =Test methods assume that the fuel burns and dries homogeneously If this was true there would not be a “char-burning phase” Emissions and efficiency are miscalculated because of this assumption

Energy Efficiency: An efficiency is a ratio: Useful Energy Delivered. X 100% Energy available in the fuel consumed Consumed: Combusted to the point where remainder is abandoned CMB3

Energy Efficiency: An efficiency is a ratio: Useful Energy Delivered. X 100% Energy available in the fuel consumed How is this determined? Consumed: Combusted to the point where remainder is abandoned CMB4

Fuel Analysis – MASHCON MMoisture AAsh SSulphur HHydrogen CCarbon OOxygen NNitrogen HHVHigher Heating Value CMB5

Fuel Analysis – MASHCON – Examples CMB6 Ultimate analysis (dry) in a mass basis

Fuel Analysis – MASHCON – Multi-fuel CMB7 Determination of the fuel composition can be challenging

Fuel Analysis – MASHCON CMB8 Determination of the fuel composition can get complicated II As Burned Ash-Free heat content - ABAF

Collect the Products of Combustion CMB9 Tracking the combustion is challenging too B.E.S.T. Lab, CAU College of Engineering

Heat Gained – Space Heating CMB10 Calculate what energy was available in the fuel Calculate the losses up the stack  Siegert Method – estimates losses up the stack  Gas-by-gas calculation – estimate losses up the stack Heat Gained, by subtraction

Step 1: Combust the Fuel CMB11 Remove the ash and convert to Molar Elements

Step 1: Combust the Fuel CMB12 Combust in Air Water Vapour 74,000 ppm

Assumptions CMB13 1. Hydrogen and Oxygen are present in the Fuel and Water in known ratios 2.Fuel O and Fuel H are released homogeneously from biomass even if the fuel burns inhomogeneously

Assumptions CMB14 1. Hydrogen and Oxygen are present in the Fuel and Water in known ratios 2.Fuel O and Fuel H are released homogeneously from biomass even if the fuel burns inhomogeneously All three are simultaneously true

De-combustion CMB15

De-combustion CMB16 Check for a fuel moisture deficit or surplus The HHV of this “fuel” is used in the denominator of the Efficiency calculation

Significance of Real-Time Fuel Analysis CMB17 The HHV can be calculated in real time as the fuel evolves The CO 2MAX value can be calculated in real time

Significance of Real-Time Fuel Analysis CMB18 The HHV can be calculated in real time as the fuel evolves The CO 2MAX value can be calculated in real time The ratio of the oxygen provided by air to the total oxygen demand can be determined in real time [StOxR]

Significance of Real-Time Fuel Analysis CMB19 The HHV can be calculated in real time as the fuel evolves The CO 2MAX value can be calculated in real time The ratio of the oxygen provided by air to the total oxygen demand can be determined in real time [StOxR] The stoichiometric volume of combustion gases can be calculated using StOxR. From this the diluted volume of gases can be calculated using the Excess Air level. The concentration of pollutants in that volume can be determined.

Significance of Real-Time Fuel Analysis CMB20 The HHV can be calculated in real time as the fuel evolves The CO 2MAX value can be calculated in real time The ratio of the oxygen provided by air to the total oxygen demand can be determined in real time [StOxR] The stoichiometric volume of combustion gases can be calculated using StOxR. From this the diluted volume of gases can be calculated using the Excess Air level. The concentration of pollutants in that volume can be determined. The mass of emissions can be reported more accurately per measurement interval.

Why is this an improvement? CMB21 Two different approaches can be made: 1. Assume the fuel burns and dries homogeneously 2.Assume this is not the case but that the Oxygen and Hydrogen are released from the fuel homogeneously The Chemical Mass Balance assumptions provide an analysis that more closely represents what is actually happening in a solid fuel fire.
