Fuel

The result screens associated with the Fuel technology display the composition of the fuel(s) used in the plant. The IECM supports the use of various fuels, including coals of various rank, biomass, waste coal, and natural gas of various places of origin.

The combustion (PC) model currently supports the use of pulverized coal, biomass and/or 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 natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) plant configurations all assume natural gas for fuel.

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant configurations assume coal gasification to produce a synthetic fuel gas.
