Abstract

Desalination is an important process in fulfilling the freshwater demands of both the industrial sector and human needs. Typically, thermal desalination processes rely on fossil fuels to minimize production costs. However, using fossil fuel in desalination contributes to releasing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is essential to utilize renewable energy sources to mitigate the production of CO2 emissions. To reduce CO2 emissions research has been conducted to explore the potential use of parabolic trough solar collectors in harnessing available solar energy at the power plant site for thermal desalination processes which required 13.75 MW of thermal energy. The study utilized the system advisor model software to assess the collector’s system performance. The research findings indicate that 416 units of parabolic trough solar collectors are required to fulfill the thermal power needs. The presence of these solar collectors has the potential to generate 26.06 GWh of thermal power, thereby reducing coal consumption by 5,740.4 metric tons per year and directly lowering CO2 emissions by 13,892 metric tons per year.

Abstract

Air preheater as a heat recovery technology is generally applied in the powerplant industry and used to heat combustion air, which increases the efficiency of the combustion chamber in the boiler. In this case, air preheater has tubular recuperative type typically located at the bottom of the circulating fluidized boiler for utilizing the lowest temperature exhaust gas. A significant presence of SO2 in the exhaust gas can lead to cold-end corrosion and cause leaks. The low tube thickness in the air preheater provides a good heat transfer performance unfortunately the corrosion issue has not been considered. By increasing the tube thickness, its aimed to extend the life time of the tubes with good corrosion resistance. This study is performed with calculations using empirical equations and validated results using Heat Transfer Research Inc (HTRI) software. Increasing the tube thickness impacts decreasing the heat transfer coefficient, increasing the flue gas (shell) pressure drop, and increasing the fouling factor. The tube thickness which determined for the corrosion prevention design of the air preheater give an overdesign of 18.14%, a heat transfer rate coefficient of 1.726 Btu/hr. ft2. °F, a shell pressure drop of 0.000541 psi, and a fouling factor of 0.114 hr. ft2. °F/Btu.
