Fuel selection for the new plant site: Natural gas & semi-coke
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: when building a new calcination furnace in a factory, should natural gas or semi-coke be used as fuel? If natural gas is used, it must be transported by tankers, and LNG receiving stations need to be built. The cost will be high, right? So, what equipment is needed to produce gas by using semi-coke as fuel? What environmental standards need to be met? Can the generated gas be used as fuel gas for calcination furnaces?
First, you need to inform the gas usage scale. Pipeline natural gas is the best; there are gas supply companies that handle such services. Gasifying lump coal to produce fuel gas requires a series of supporting treatment devices. Neither investment nor operation will be low
As a traditional fuel, lignite faces two major constraints in terms of environmental protection and resource conservation; as a result, its sources will inevitably become less available. As a substitute for traditional fossil fuels, LNG will be the main energy source of tomorrow. The suggestion for the 2nd floor is good; you can discuss it with the gas company and ask them to invest in the construction under an Energy Management Contract (EMC) model – they will cover the costs while you use the gas.
The selection of fuel sources requires thorough consideration, taking into account factors such as the stability and reliability of the sources, prices, environmental pressures, and the impact of future policies
