Intelligent Flow Control System
Lead Participant:
GREENBANK TEROTECH LIMITED
Abstract
A collaborative project led by Greenbank Group (GB) will develop an Integrated Flow Control System (IFCS) for
Coal Fired Power Stations (CFPS) which is fully automated & adjusts to suit modulation in flow performance of
mill, fuel types, quality, wear & load, providing flow feedback allowing burners to achieve optimum
stochiometric conditions thereby increasing efficiency & reducing emissions. The Objective of this project is to
build & integrate a prototype system at DRAX, the largest CFPS in the UK to verify efficiency & effectiveness
through long term testing. GB consortium partners DRAX (DX), University of Nottingham (UoN) & Argenta
Consulting (AGC) will address challenges in developing IFCS. A successful project will help create major business
& employment opportunities for the UK. This will address carbon abatement – increasing efficiency & flexibility
within UK CFPS.
