Why Control DustV2.pdf
TDM® Audits
- A thorough assessment of operating needs and conditions that accurately identifies cost savings and risk issues and recommends, prioritizes, and estimates new installation and/or system modification needs and costs.
Transfer chutes
- InteliFlo®
An adjustable, skirtless transfer system that prevents dust rather than simply passively controlling it. Eliminates the need for skirt boards, seals, conveyor discharge hoods and complex "load bed" designs as well as associated labor and maintenance costs.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
- Flue Gas Conditioning Systems offer cost-effective, proven results for reducing ESP opacity emissions for both cold and hot side precipitations. Combining low capital cost with valuable operating flexibility, Benetech systems are ideal for units which might require only intermittment or trim treatment of flue gas to stay within regulatory guidelines.

- Dry Sorbent Injection(DSI) SO2 Control Systems
The Benetech DSI process utilizes a proprietary "encapsulation" technique that minimizes the quanitity of chemical sorbents required to abate pollution and reduces the quantity of solid waste associated with chemical sorbents. By combining a sodium reagent with calcium alkali as the sorbent, the technology offers coal users an environmentally benign approach to sodium and calcium sorbent disposal with the added benefit of significant savings.

COMBUSTION ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS
-
In the field of combustion enhancement products, Benetech offers a family of coal ash modifiers to control slagging and fouling during combustion.
- GAM-65
controls reflective ash related to slagging and fouling and reduces the formation of calcium sulfate when firing PRB coals. Calcium sulfate has been identified as a leading contributor to SCR catalyst deactivation.
GAM65PRBreflectiveash.pdf
- GAM-60
allows recovery of superheat/reheat steam temperatures and an improvement in unit heat rate while maintaining flexibility in fuel supply characteristics.
GAM60superheat.pdf
- GAM-905
is introduced into the furnace to mitigate the tendency of high-iron coals to form strong slag deposits (which makes cleaning difficult). Changes the sintering characteristics of wall and tube deposits to more friable and easily removed deposits.
- Other GAM formulations
for your specific slagging and fouling issues, please contact Benetech.
