The Impact Cylinder Turning Waste to Energy Compiled by: Tim Bessex Contributions: Prosper Ogonga, Martin Kalberer Dated: July 2008
The Growing Popularity of Waste-to-Energy • Exponential increase in fuel costs • No sign of slow-down! • 100k tonnes waste incineration (claimed to) = 10k tonnes coal • Landfill space extremely limited • Green lobby gathering even more pace • Regulations and costs in waste management increasing • Commercially viable businesses are being created • Investment forecast: 37% increase over next 5 years • Est. 500 plants in Europe: 200 more planed over next 5 yrs
Waste Incineration / Thermal power plant (WI/TPP) • Incineration of waste generates heat to produce steam to drive a turbine • Excess steam can also be ‘exported’ • Widely considered as a clean, reliable and renewable form of producing energy
Waste Incineration / Thermal Power Plant (WI/TPP) • Advantages: • Efficient removal of waste - waste is ‘renewable’ • Reduce demand for land-fill • Reduce cost of waste transportation • Ash by-product can be used in construction • Best method to eliminate methane gas emissions • Substitute and compliments energy from fossil fuels • Reduce combustibles volume by 90% hence reduce pollution • Disadvantages: • Initial investment is very heavy • High operating costs • Technology applicable only if certain requirements are met • Legal regulations are complex and cumbersome • Complexity of processes requires skilled staff • Debate over efficiency / ROE and environmental effects
The Waste-to-Energy Process Boiler Efficiency can be DIRECTLY linked to ASH removal from Boiler mechanism
Customer Advantage – New Norgren Impact Cylinder • High impact energy delivered to ‘pestles’ by the Norgren cylinder. • The impact cylinder effectively cleans boiler exchanger – ‘In Process’ • Control panel clearly displays operation / functionality • Reliable operation • Safer operation • Adjustable impact energy < max 90 J (1-7bar) • Easy to service and maintain, reduced damage of pestles • Feedback available – remote monitoring • Specific impact zones can be created • Lower initial cost • Lower cost of ownership • Single Acting – fewer valves
Impact Cylinder with flange mounting • MK1 system currently built at Alpen • Existing use in Switzerland / Austria / Germany
Added Value – Impact Cylinder • Impact cylinder, single acting (SPCH080003) • Duplex 3/2 valve, V22 series valve island system • 2 impact cylinders are controlled by one duplex valve • Operating pressure 1-7 bar • Air preparation • Also consider Buschjost dust management valves as overall sales proposition • PLC
Potential Volumes • Assume 500 plants in Europe alone • Impact points per boiler • 30 - 50 • Boilers per plant • 3 - 10 • Potential per plant • 90 – 500 • If we were to retrofit only 20% of them • 30,000 cylinders in Europe in the retrofit market alone • PLUS.. The rest of the world • PLUS … Targeting the preferred route of the OEMS
Competitive Technology • Soot Blowers • Air or Steam • Mechanical systems – Falling Hammer • Ball-bearing bombardment • Electrostatic charges • Explosions • Cross-over competition (areas of similarity) • Roll car systems • Electric impact cylinders • SMC • Nucon - India
Falling Hammer System • VonRoll
Roll Car Solutions • Examples Baumgarte & Clyde Bergemann
The Norgren ‘Fit’ • Attractive and growing Norgren focus sector • Johannes Quinders • Heavily weighted to a limited number of key global players • Foster Wheeler, Alstom, Hitachi, Babcock & Wilcox, Riley Power • Technology performance directly affects system performance • Excellent spread across OEM, End User and MRO business • Great opportunity for Added Value sales, Air prep, valves etc.. • Growth opportunities in all of Norgren key global zones
