Solids In/Out

← Previous | Next →

The Solids In/Out result screen displays the values for the flow of the solid components in the gas and condensed streams throughout the various stages of the power plant. The values are displayed in a single-table format.

Each column represents the flow rate at the exit of the technology specified at the top of the column. Use the scroll bar at the bottom to see additional columns. Note that the solids are not reported in this detail inside the technology result screens.

The following solid components are shown:

•Ash: Total mass of ash (primarily solid oxides).

•Lime (CaO): Total mass flow of lime. This is typically added as a reagent and will react with the flue gas to form another compound.

•Limestone (CaCO3): Total mass flow of limestone. This is typically added as a reagent and will react with the flue gas to form another compound.

•Calcium Sulfite (CaSO3-0.5H2O): Total mass flow of calcium sulfite, a byproduct of lime or limestone reacting with sulfur in the flue gas.

•Gypsum (CaSO4-2H2O): Total mass flow of gypsum, a byproduct of lime or limestone reacting with sulfur in the flue gas.

•Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4): Total mass flow of calcium sulfate, a byproduct of lime or limestone reacting with sulfur in the flue gas.

•Calcium Chloride (CaCl2): Total mass flow of calcium sulfate, a byproduct of lime or limestone reacting with chlorine or chlorine compounds in the flue gas.

•Miscellaneous (UCB, Sulfur): Total mass flow of other solids in the flue gas. This includes unburned carbon or unburned sulfur from the boiler.

•Water: Total mass flow of condensed water associated with the solids stream. This is more clearly represented in what is considered liquid streams. See the Gas In/Out screen for a summary of the evaporated water flow rate through the power plant.
