Eagle Air II Coal/Gas Burner

Why consider EagleAir 2 burners:

  • Ability and flexibility to fire both coal, gas to allow the plant to fire the most cost effective fuel
  • Reduce the need to retire coal plants and/or permits for fuel flexibility
  • Especially units less than 300 Mw’s (based on industry review)
  • Gas prices volatile and likely to increase
  • Ability to stage the gas and coal for improved combustion and emissions
  • Turn down for low load operation during “off peak” hours and minimize cycling
  • Conversion of existing unit to have the ability to fire gas or coal vs costly replaced generation with Combined Cycles and/or other to keep diverse portfolio of fuels
  • Forney and Storm are committed to the best possible Service-Quality-Results for competitive steam power generation. By combining Forney’s 85 years of combustion equipment design and manufacturing with Storm’s testing and tuning we offer a powerful partnership for our common customers.

If you are considering retiring a coal unit and have gas capabilities, this could be a cost effective option for discussion. If you would like to review the possibilities of upgrading to a 100% gas or coal co-firing option; Forney and Storm Technologies, Inc. can help.

  • 100-300 MMBtu Range
  • Coal and Natural Gas Firing
  • Capable of firing 100% capacity coal or natural gas; Dual Fuel BMS
  • Multiple zones of airflow with control of proportions and spin to each to allow for tuning for combustion and/or NOx
  • Critical for Staging, Tuning and Optimization
  • Secondary Air Inlet allows for accurate control to each burner with provisions for airflow measurement
