Heat regenerator attached in small-scale regenerative radiant tube burner was designed using the theoretical computation code and was confirmed the performance of waste heat recovery ratio. From the computation, when ceramic ball of 4-5kg was used, temperature efficiency and available waste heat recovery ratio were predicted 80% and 70%, respectively. Similar efficiencies were obtained from the experiments using LPG. However, since exhaust gas temperature entered into regenerator was below 85$0^{\circ}C$ which was much lower than that we expected, preheat air temperature was lowered below 80$0^{\circ}C$.

화석에너지 고갈로 인한 유가 상승으로 폐기물 에너지화가 이슈화 되고 있다. 폐기물 고형 연료 RDF는 에너지 문제를 해결하기위한 대안 중 하나로 수송성, 저장성, 연소안정성이 우수하나 환경오염 물질의 발생이 문제가 된다. 이러한 오염물질을 처리하기 위한 배가스 오염 물질처리를 위한 plant 설비 비용과 시간이 많이 투자된다. Aspen plus는 mass energy balance와 화학적평형, 열역학을 이용하여 공정 모사를 할 수 있는 프로그램으로 검증되었다. RDF의 삼성분, 원소분석, 발열량을 입력을 통해 HCl, SOx, NOx, CO의 배출량을 예측하고 이에 맞는 SNCR, SDA 등과 같은 반응기를 적용 하므로써 다양한 배가스 처리를 모사 할 수 있다. NOx를 제어하기위에 urea주입과 SOx와 HCl을 제거하기 위한 CaO를 주입을 모사 하므로써 실제 운영 적용 전 단계에 역할로 유용한 도구로 판단된다.

The interest on the recovery of thermal energy using the waste has been rising to solve the problems of continuous increase of waste generation and the depletion of the fossil fuel recently. The incineration has been used most popularly as a treatment process of the waste for the energy recovery. However, it is expected that incineration and design cost will increase in the treatment of air contaminant emitted from incinerator. This research has simulated the actual incinerator and the flue gas treatment system using the Aspen plus which is the software to simulate the chemical process. The incineration process is composed of the 1st and 2nd combustor to burn the waste, SNCR process to reduce the $NO_x$ using the urea, and the steam generation process to save the energy during incineration. The $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry was used as an acid gas (HCl, $SO_2$) treatment materials and the removal efficiency for the products from the neutralization of acid gas in SDA and combustion ash was simulated at the bag filter. The simulation result has been corresponded with the treatment efficiency of emitted gas from the actual industrial waste incinerator and it is presumed to be used to forecast the efficiencies of flue gas treatment system in the future.

지구온난화 문제는 한국가의 문제가 아니라 인류의 문제로 대두되어 많은 이에대한 많은 연구가 이루어 지고 있다. 지구온난화의 주 대상물질인 화석연료로부터 연소시 발생하는 이산화탄소를 감축하기위한 많은 규제와 노력이 요구된다. CCS(Carbon Capture & Storage)란 화석연료로 부터 연소시 대기 중으로 배출되는 온실가스($CO_2$)를 포집하여 재생 또는 지중, 해양에 저장하는 기술로서 국가녹색성장 핵심기술중의 하나로 분류되며, $CO_2$ 회수방안, 저장, 처리관련 연구를 비롯하여 국내외 적으로 활발한 연구가 이루어 지고 있다. 또한 순산소 연소기술을 통한 $CO_2$ 회수, 처리기술은 연료의 산화제를 공기대신 순도 95% 이상의 고농도 산소를 이용하여 순산소연소를 하며, 이때 발생하는 배가스의 대부분은 $CO_2$와 수증기로 구성되어 있다. 발생된 배가스의 약 70~80%를 다시 연소실로 재순환시켜 연소기의 열적 특성에 적절한 연소가 가능하도록 최적화함과 동시에 배가스의 $CO_2$ 농도를 80% 이상으로 농축시켜 회수를 용이하게 하며, 동시에 공해물질은 NOx 발생량을 10ppM 이하로 줄일 수 있는 기술이다. 천연가스를 생산하는 LNG기지에서 연소에 의한 이산화탄소를 발생시키는 기기로는 수중연소식기화기(SMV ; Submerged Combustion Vaporizer)를 들 수 있다. SMV는 버너를 이용하여 $-162^{\circ}C$ LNG를 $10^{\circ}C$의 LN로 기화시키는 설비로서 특히 동절기에 작동시키며 $CO_2$를 배출시키는 연소기다. 본 연구에서는 수중연소식 SMV에 순산소 연소방식을 적용하여 천연가스와 산소를 연소시키므로서 발생되는 $CO_2$를 LNG냉열을 이용 액체화 시켜 회수하는 연구를 수행하고 있다. 내용중에 수중연 소식 SMV에 대한 순산소 연소기를 개발하는 연구를 수행하였으며, 실제 SMV의 1/10크기, 열량기준 1/900로 모형을 제작하여 실험하였다. 연소기 노즐 은 직경 0.6mm, 배가스가 수조내에서 48개의 노즐을 제작하였다. 실험결과 일정량 이상의 $CO_2$ EGR율이 일정 값 이상이 되면 화염의 길이가 공기/NG 화염 길이와 큰 차이가 없었으며 $CO_2$ EGR율이 100%이상에서는 $CO_2$ EGR율 증가에 따른 화염길이 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았다. CO 배출 농도는 공기/NG 연소의 경우보다 높게 나타났으며, ${\lambda}$가 1.4보다 높은 조건에서는 측정되지 않았다. NOx의 배출 농도는 약 1~8ppm으로 나타났다.

Recently a novel bio refinery process with using nonedible biomass, especially microalgae, has been developed in order to directly reduce $CO_2$ concentration from flue gas and simultaneously produce renewable bio fuel. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes are composed of microalgae cultivation, harvesting, lipid extraction, and bio fuel conversion. So, there are concerns about the energy efficiencies of bio refinery processes. In this study, the net energy ratio of microalgae processes were calculated for the microalgae produced from a pilot photobioreacto using $CO_2$ released from coal combustion. In this study, trans-esterification and pyrolysis processes were used to analyze the net energy efficiencies. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes might produce bio fuels with the higher energy than that of the total consumed energy for cultivation, harvesting, extraction and conversion. If the lipid content of microalgae was higher, the trans-esterification conversion process was more effective than that of pyrolysis process.

This study was carried out to investigate the reaction characteristics of NOx with reagents to grope the power consumption rate reduction and NOx removal rate improvement for the non-thermal plasma denitrification process. The experiments were performed using the real flue gas and wire-plate type plasma reactor. and the flow rate of real flue gas is $20Nm^3/hr$. Paraffinic and olefinic hydrocarbons and ammonia were used as reagents. Olefinic hydrocarbon oxidizes NO more actively than paraffinic hydrocarbon under the non-thermal plasma conditions, resulting in the generation of large amount of $NO_2$ and a very small amount of CO. When the initial NOx concentration increases. oxidation rate of NO decreases and the consumption rate of olefinic hydrocarbon increases significantly. On the other hand. $NH_3$ did not promote reduction reaction with NO under non-thermal plasma conditions. however, there was a tendency that the NHa was effective to remove the $NO_2$ oxidized by olefinic hydrocarbon.

Most of combustion processess used in industries require recovering or removing flue gas components. Recently a new MBA (moving bed adsorption) process for recovering $CO_2$ using zeolite 13X was developed. In this study, adsorption experiments for carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor on zeolite 13X were carried out. Adsorption equilibrium and adsorption rate into solid particle were investigated. Langmuir, Toth, and Freundlich isotherm parameters were calculated from the experiment data at various temperatures. Experimental results were consistent with the theoretically predicted values. Also $CO_2$ adsorption amount was measured under the conditions with impurities such as $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. Binary adsorption data were well fitted to the extended Langmuir isotherm using parameters obtained from pure component experiment. However, $H_2O$ impurity less than, roughly, ${\sim}10^{-5}H_2O\;mol/g$ zeolite 13X enhanced slightly $CO_2$ adsorption. Spherical particle diffusion model well described experimentally measured adsorption rate. Diffusion coefficients and activation energies of $CO_2$, $SO_2$, $N_2$, $H_2O$ were obtained. Diffusion coefficients of $CO_2$ and $SO_2$ decreased with small amount of preadsorbed impurity. Parameter values from this study will be helpful to design of real commercial adsorption process.

The purpose of this study is to apprehend the behavior of exhaust gas flow from gas turbine during part load operation in Heat Recovery Steam Generator. As a first step of this work, internal flow characteristics according to HRSG types were examined by CFD analysis. Next step, tube temperature according to gas turbine 53% and 100% load conditions were calculated by results of CFD and those were compared with temperature data gathered from real plant. Finally, thermal performance due to part load operation was calculated to estimate the influence of heat transfer in superheater. In addition, new type of device is suggested to eliminate the uneven temperature distribution of tubes during part load operation.

최근 화석에너지 고갈 문제와 폐기물의 지속적인 발생량 증가로 인해 폐기물을 이용한 열에너지 회수가 이슈화 되고 있다. 폐기물처리를 통한 에너지 회수 공정 가운데 소각이 가장 많이 이용되고 있으나 소각시 발생하는 대기오염 물질을 처리하기 위한 설계 및 설치비용에 많이 소요 된다. 본 연구에서는 화학공정 모사기인 Aspen plus를 이용해 소각공정 및 배가스 처리 공정모사를 실시하였다. 폐기물 소각 공정으로는 1 2차 연소실과 NO2를 환원하는 SNCR공정, 산성가스(HCl, SO2)를 제거하는 SDA공정, 입자상 물질을 처리 하는 bag filter공정을 모사하였다. 공정모사 결과 실제 산업폐기물 소각로의 처리효율과 일치 하였고 이를 바탕으로 동일한 공정 및 조건하에 소각로에 투입되는 폐기물의 조성비를 달리하여 공정 모사한 결과 오염물질의 배출량을 예측할 수 있었다. 이러한 오염물질 발생량 예측은 소각장의 폐기물 투입이 일정하지 않을 경우 조업 조건의 변경에 도움 뿐만아니라 공정개선의 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
