Role of Modern Flue Gas Analyser in a Thermal Power Plant to Monitor & Control Efficient Combustion Process & Improve Carbon footprint

Abstract: The concern for Global Warming and Climate change had already made a social impact in the planet earth & corporate strategy on mitigating plan need to be adopted to restore ecological balance & our sustainability. While any economic growth is associated with Industrial developments , which will trigger a new concern to the environment , innovative adoption of various energy efficient processes will ensure better Carbon foot print. In India for any sustained growth the requirement of Power will always increase & new Power Stations need to be set up . While setting up Power stations considerations need to be given for selecting appropriate technology, size & selection of energy efficient process and equipment, optimize the combustion process .Role of analysers for measurement and control plays a major role to optimize the process operation & reducing fuel and energy wastages . Further selection of the appropriate technology for analyser , proper installation practices & control strategy based on the analysis and its response time are the key considerations for successfully implementing automatic combustion Control . This paper aims to describe the challenges in the selection of the appropriate gas analysers for the measurement based on the various technological versions , the analysis of the result & implementation of control to improve Carbon Foot Print .
