1 "Regulatory and analyzer update for USEPA's new formaldehyde emissions limit for combustion turbines"2019Spectrum's technical team has demonstrated a <27 ppbvd Formaldehyde detection limit (DL) on its extractive FTIR equipped using a 5-meter cell pathlength. This formaldehyde detection is well below USEPA's 91 ppbvd emission threshold for Combustion Turbines now subject to regulation under NESHAP Subpa...

3 Advanced emissions monitoring from elevated gas flares for early warning system and optimization of plant operations2019Real-time monitoring of emissions from elevated gas flares is very difficult and expensive due to the relative location of the source and the cost to collect samples for analysis. Elevated Analytics has developed and applied a UAV based sensor system to accomplish this task. Besides providing a snap...
4 An air-assisted flare for biomass gasifiers2019Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the combustion practice of the gases that produce from gasification process. In this simulation a new air-assisted flare design which capable to handle low flowrates of these gases with high performance was used. The simulated cases were perfor...
5 Experimental investigation for the development of burners for low scale reheating of semi-finished metal products2019recuperative burner; fuel rich combustion; direct fired furnace; scale reduction; radiant tubeIndustrial furnaces for the reheating of semi-finished metal products are often direct fired with natural gas and air. Oxidation of the metals exposed to the furnace atmosphere causes significant material losses and additional work during furnace operation and in further processing. A reheating conc...
6 Flare regulatory update2019The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) revised the regulations for the refinery through the Refinery Sector Rule (RSR) revisions to NESHAP CC and UUU (aka MACT CC and MACT UUU). The USEPA is expected to propose revisions to the Ethylene MACT and the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) ...
7 Multistage flameless oxidation2019Flameless Oxidation (FLOX®) is a well established low thermal NOx combustion method since the early 1990s. Flameless Oxidation can be applied for processes above self ignition temperature. Typically, switching between flame- and FLOX-mode occurs at a temperature of 850°C. This restriction can be o...
8 Neutron imaging of heterogeneous solid fuels under heating2019Solid-fuel pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion continue to play an important role in the industrial and utility sectors. Behavior of heterogeneous fuels such as biomass (e.g., wood and grasses), municipal solid waste (MSW), and coal is less understood on the micro than the macro scales, particul...
9 Numberical and experimental investigations on an innovative, regeneratively heated radiant tube with compact dimensions2019heat treatment; radiant tube; regenerative heating; staged combustionThe presented, public funded research cooperation project of the Department for Industrial Furnaces and Heat Engineering at the RWTH Aachen University and the WS Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH main aim is the development of an innovative, regeneratively heated radiant tube with compact dimensions. The ma...
10 Numerical investigations of tailored heating of a round bar for partial hot forming using Direct Flame Impingement (DFI)2019Tailored Heating; Direct Flame Impingement (DFI); Massive FormingHot massive forming is performed using uniform heating of the materials to avoid wrinkle formation. A new approach, which is investigated within a research project, is presented in this paper, using a tailored heating with different temperature zones to conduct hot massive forming and semi-hot formi...
11 PERF Project 2014-10 Results and Analysis of the VISR Method for Remote Flare Monitoring2019The Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (PERF) is a non-profit organization created to provide a stimulus to and a forum for the collection, exchange, and analysis of research information relating to the development of technology for health, environment and safety; waste reduction; and system sec...
12 Remote measurement of Flare gas flow rate using a video imaging spectral radiometer2019Flares are commonly used at industrial facilities (e.g., oil and gas extraction and production sites, gas processing plants, oil refineries, and petrochemical manufacturing plants) to safely dispose of process gases (i.e. waste gases). Waste gases may be produced due to process upset or because they...
13 Simplified analysis and practical mitigation techniques for induestrial boiler thermoacoustic vibration2019Industrial boiler systems are prone to mechanical vibration which can lead to premature component failures, emission non-compliance, and greatly increased ambient noise generation. Driving mechanisms, thermoacoustic phenomena, and system geometrical interactions are complex. General methods for accu...
