Fuel

The Fuel parameter screens display and define the composition and cost of the fuels used in the plant. Default properties of fuels are provided, but user-specified properties can also be easily substituted.

The combustion model currently supports the use of pulverized coal, biomass and waste coal in the furnace, with natural gas available as a reburn option to the in-furnace NOx controls and an optional natural gas auxiliary boiler. The fuel properties can be modified. Fuel properties may also be stored in and retrieved from databases.
