Patent number: 8443739Abstract: Through the addition of tertiary air and a reduction of secondary air, NOx emissions from a waste-to-energy (WTE) boiler may be reduced. The tertiary air is added to the WTE at a distance from the secondary air, in a boiler region of relatively lower temperatures. A secondary NOx reduction system, such as a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system using ammonia or urea, may also be added to the boiler with tertiary air to achieve desirable high levels of NOx reductions. The SNCR additives are introduced to the WTE boiler proximate to the tertiary air.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2011Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Covanta Energy CorporationInventors: Stephen P.

Publication number: 20100189618Abstract: The present invention controls reagent flow levels in a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system by more accurately predicting Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) production with a municipal waste combustor. In one embodiment, the reagent levels correspond with measured furnace temperatures. The reagent levels may have a baseline level from prior measured NOx that is then modified according to temperatures measurements. A slow controller may use NOx measurements over an extended period to define a base regent level, and a fast controller may use additional information such as the furnace temperature to modify the base regent level. The fast controller may further receive two additional signals that are added individually or together to maximize NOx control while minimizing ammonia slip from the reagent. The two signals are a feed-forward signal from the combustion controller and a feedback signal from an ammonia analyzer downstream of the combustion zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: COVANTA ENERGY CORPORATIONInventors: Mark L.

Patent number: 4883115Abstract: A method and apparatus for controllably removing heat from a high-temperature process wherein finely atomized liquid suspended in a stream of transport gas is used as a coolant pumped through a heat exchanger while remaining separated from the high-temperature process. The system pressure and flow rates are maintained at levels such that the temperature of the coolant exceeds the boiling point of the liquid component at the outlet of the heat exchanger. Means are provided to monitor continuously the temperatures of the process and of the coolant at the outlet of the heat exchanger and adjust the flow rates of the liquid and/or the transport gas as necessary to maintain the respective temperatures within predetermined ranges.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1988Date of Patent: November 28, 1989Assignee: Ogden Environmental Services, Inc.Inventors: Niles W.

Patent number: 4408595Abstract: A solar energy concentrator/collector assembly employing an altitude-azimuth dual axis scanning mounting assembly including a base with a circular track for mounting the assembly for rotation about a vertical axis. The assembly includes a turret defining second pivotable axis normal to the vertical axis and intersecting the same. A boom, a concentrator and a collector act as a single rotational assembly during solar collection and fold together during non-operating periods to minimize the profile and wind loading. In one preferred embodiment the solar energy collector is fixed and located at the intersection of the two axes and a boom carries a secondary mirror reflecting solar energy from said primary mirror to the solar energy collector which may be a Stirling cycle engine or other heat engine. In an alternate embodiment the solar energy collector is located on the boom at the focus region of the solar concentrator.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1978Date of Patent: October 11, 1983Inventors: Howard F. Broyles, Mark L. White, Neil F. Dipprey
