The University Coalition for Fossil Energy Research (UCFER)
The University Coalition for Fossil Energy Research (UCFER) has been established to
advance basic and applied fossil energy research through mechanisms that promote
collaboration among the Department of Energy (DOE) and the universities that are
members of the Coalition by the coordination of research and the sharing of
data. Its collaborative research focuses on coal, natural gas, and oil and the research
involves one or more of the following five core competencies:

ü Geological and Environmental Systems,
ü Materials Engineering and Manufacturing,
ü Energy conversion Engineering,
ü Systems Engineering and Analysis, and
ü Computational Science and Engineering.

University of Utah
The University of Utah’s Industrial Combustion and Gasification Research Facility
(ICGRF) comprises two large warehouse buildings equipped with pilot-scale
combustion and gasification test reactors ranging in size from bench-scale to 1.5
MW (5 MMBtu/hr). These facilities include pulverized coal, circulating fluidized
bed, chemical looping and grate-fired combustors along with pressurized entrained-
flow and fluidized-bed gasifiers. Other facilities include a high-pressure reactor for
in-situ pyrolysis of solid fuels, kilns and internal combustion engines. Over the last
two decades, projects for governmental and commercial entities executed at the
ICGRF have assisted in cleaner and more efficient energy production worldwide.

 THE CLEARWATER CLEAN ENERGY CONFERENCE
SUNDAY – June 3, 2018
Short Courses – Are open to all registered attendees.
9:00 – 11:00 a.m. – Combustion 101
Alan Paschedag, Covanta, Inc.
J.J. Letcavits, American Electric Power

All you need to know about mixing fuel and air to create combustion. The various
conditions that must be controlled such that combustion is both efficient and low in
pollutants will be discussed. With this basic understanding of the combustion process, the
process of burner tuning will be better understood. A basic approach to burner tuning will
also be covered.

11:15 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. – Practical Optimization of the Coal Supply Chain
G.H. Luttrell, Virginia Tech
P. J. Bethell, Marshall Miller and Associates

Coal processing, handling and storage facilities play an important role in determining the
overall economic viability of the fuel supply chain for coal-fired power stations.
Optimization of these important facilities has traditionally been performed using search-
engines that require large amounts of information such as coal quality data, production
statistics and site costing models.

While this generic approach is technically correct, many operations have been
overwhelmed by the large amount of real-time data that is required to properly implement
such an optimization strategy. In light of this problem, a new optimization methodology
has been developed that assigns unit values to each particle passing through the coal
supply chain based on market sales contracts. This presentation describes the working
features of this alternative optimization protocol and provides case studies illustrating the
large economic value of well-designed coal processing and handling systems on coal-based
fuel supply systems.

1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. – Combustion Fundamentals
Prof. Ashwani K, Gupta, University of Maryland

This Short Course will cover fundamental aspects of combustion, including fuels and their
fundamental properties, stoichiometric balances, adiabatic flame temperature calculations,
flame stability and pollutants formation and mitigation. No prior knowledge on the subject
will be assumed so that this tutorial will be very fitting to students and users of combustion
devices in industry.


3:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. – Advanced Biomass Pellet Characteristics for
Utility Scale Co-firing and Conversion Programs
Les Marshall, Ontario Power Generation, Canada

The utility industry has made significant gains with decarbonising coal-fired power
generation through the use of biomass co-firing and more recently via complete coal to
biomass fuel conversions. Conversion projects especially have historically required high
capital expenditures, limiting the adoption of this route in many jurisdictions.

Recent developments in the field of 2nd generation solid biomass fuels (advanced biomass)
have enabled another potential pathway for utility-scale biomass use. These new
"advanced biomass" pellets are produced with a range of thermal upgrading techniques to
modify their physical characteristics such that they can form the basis of a low capital cost
approach for a co-firing or conversion project.

The characteristics of both traditional white wood pellets and the new advanced biomass
pellets will be discussed from an end user point of view. The results of fuel evaluations will
be confirmed with practical full scale operating experience.

3:00 p.m. – Exhibit Center Setup in the Island Ballroom

The Babcock & Wilcox Company
