Abstract:
The medium combustion plant directive (MCPD) is now being transferred into German law for combustion plants with a thermal heat output from 1 to 50 MW. Within this regulation, flue gas emissions (CO, NOX and TPM) will be limited to certain values depending on the thermal heat output of the plant. Especially for combustion plants with a heat output from 1 to 5 MW there is a lack of knowledge concerning the variability in the formation of NOX emissions as caused by the usual variation of fuel properties throughout a complete heating season. The major fuel parameter in focus is the nitrogen content of the fuel. But other important parameters such as moisture content, ash content, bulk density, particle size distribution and chemical composition from elementary analysis are also monitored. The nitrogen content of the fuel as well as the boiler load clearly influenced the NOX emission.
