W2 Energy declared that it has commenced the construction of a new combustion lab at 345 Woodlawn Road, Guelph, Ontario. Small coal-fired and gas boilers are being installed in the laboratory.
These boilers constitute a part of the experiments, which are focusing to enhance the efficiency of boilers and decrease the output levels of nitrogen, sulfur and carbon oxides in the flue gas. The company is attaining this capability through gasification of inexpensive chemicals in the NT Plasmatron followed by injection of the resulting gases into the boilers.
The NT Plasmatron provides a cost-effective and flexible solution to convert low-cost chemicals into combustion enhancers and valuable gases for commercial boilers. By tapping this huge market, the company will help its customers to reduce environmental impact and save money.
W2 Energy has carried out several successful projects. In one of the projects, the company linked a NT Plasmatron to a boiler in a combustion laboratory at the University of North Dakota. The Plasmatron was supplied with ferrocene and the converted gases were injected into the boiler. The led to increased boiler efficiency and decreased the carbon monoxide levels present in the flue gas.
