Record 3 2007-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction of Boreholes (Mining)
  • Mining Operations
  • Coal-Derived Fuels
CONT

Mine-mouth plants ... are built adjacent to coal reserves, and power is then transported through a high voltage transmission system to load centres.

OBS

Fiscal or regulatory programs to force coal conversion in new utility plants or to encourage conversion to coal in existing utility or industrial boilers will stimulate more "mine-mouth" installations. Especially in the West, the appearance of new mining sites in great abundance will add further incentives for this growth. "Mine-mouth generation" involves the building of(usually mammoth) electric utilities in close proximity to coal supplies. This assures generating plants a long-term dependable fuel supply essential to their economic viability...

PHR

Coal mine mouth plant.

PHR

Mine-mouth power plant.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Coal Preparation
  • Steel
CONT

briquetting : The formation of small particles of any variety of coal into solid lumps by pressure.... The utility and advantage... are that by this process an article of small value and almost worthless can be converted into a valuable article of fuel for steamers, forges, culinary and other purposes thus saving what is now lost.... Hot briquetting is generally understood to mean the briquetting of materials that have been heated to temperatures above ambient where plasticity has developed or become imminent.

CONT

Hot briquetting reduces the big internal surface of the sponge iron, thus preventing its reoxidation, which permits transit and storage over a longer period of time.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Utility emissions were projected using two models : the Utility Simulator Model(USM), developed and operated by Teknetron Research, Incorporated(TRI), and the Cool and Electric Utilities Model(CEUM) developed and run by ICF Incorporated. Both models are capable of projecting future energy use, by fuel type, for the electric industry, given a baseline energy scenario. The models also calculate the cost of emission controls, emissions and relative cost effectiveness of control, on a dollar per tonne of collected pollutant basis.
