A system and method for drying pulverized high moisture fuel for use in a selective catalytic reduction system equipped combustion system is provided. The combustion system includes a mill for pulverizing fuel, an air heater, a booster air heater and a fuel duct for feeding dried pulverized fuel to a combustion furnace.

Booster air heater for high moisture fuels

A system for measuring a flow rate of a fluid through a plurality of tubes sharing a common flow orifice, the system includes an ultrasonic transducer having a plurality of sensors in communication with a plurality of tubes sharing a common flow orifice. The system includes an electronic module coupled to the ultrasonic transducer, the electronic module connecting selected sensors to a flow rate analyzer for determining a flow rate of fluid through the plurality of tubes on which the sensors are in communication with.

A method of operating a fossil fuel-fired power generation system (10, 10', 10', 10'') in order to thereby optimize the operating efficiency thereof. The fossil fuel-fired power generation system (10, 10', 10', 10''), which may or may not include an SCR (56), includes at least a fossil fuel-fired steam generator (12) having a burner region (16) wherein there is effected the combustion of fossil fuel and air such that gases of combustion are produced therefrom, a first heat transfer surface (32) located downstream of the burner region (16) of the fossil fuel-fired steam generator (12), a bypass (44,58,64) around the first heat transfer surface (32,32a), an air preheater (14) located downstream of the first heat transfer surface (32,32a), first and second flow paths from the burner region (16) of the fossil fuel-fired steam generator (12) to the air preheater (14) for the gases of combustion, a sensor (54) for sensing the temperature of the gases of combustion exiting from the air preheater (14), and when an SCR (56) is included a sensor (55) for sensing the temperature of the gases entering the SCR (56).
