Electricity production and fuel consumption are
repeatedly measured and incremented
During the Guarantees 4.0 period (typically 5 to 7 years), the electricity production and fuel consumptions are repeatedly
measured and corrected by taking into consideration differences between assumed reference conditions and real
measured parameters (air temperature, fuel type, load set point, grid conditions...). The corrected measurements of
electricity production and fuel consumption are incremented over each year, and finally compared to the values
guaranteed by GE.

During the Guarantee 4.0 period, GE offers an improved support for plant operation and maintenance to reach the best
performances in the long run.

pulverized coal boilers, GE first introduced tangential firing in 1927. Fuel and air are injected through windboxes
from the corners of the furnace, aimed tangent to an imaginary circle at the center of the furnace . This creates Fine grinding increases the fuel exposed surface area while simultaneously drying and

interchangeable modular components also reduce inventory cost and minimize outage frequency and duration.

Operational flexibility
As businesses seek ways to decrease costs while maintaining or growing revenue, boilers must
remain flexible and be able to react quickly to changing conditions with the increased penetration
of renewable power generation. Traditional fossil plants must be ready to operate safely through
transient mode and be able to provide additional reserve margin for enhanced grid stability.

GE boilers achieve this thanks to specific flexible operations features such as enhanced temperature
control, sliding pressure capability and our dynamic classifiers. Our pulverized coal boilers currently allow
for ramp rate as fast as 6% per minute and down to 20% for hard coal and 35% for lignite based on BMCR.

Other AQCS solutions

In addition to addressing the most common pollutants, such as particulate matter,
SOx and NOx, GE offers solutions for capturing other pollutants.

Mercury
The FilsorptionTM system uses activated carbon injection upstream of a standard primary or
secondary particulate control system. The Mer-CureTM system uses a proprietary approach
injection of sorbent upstream, for air preheaters, for improved mercury capture.

• More than 25 years and 29 GW installed

• More than two million hours of reliable operation

Volatile organic compounds (VOC)

For VOC mitigation, GE provides thermal oxidizers and regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO) – mature technologies that
have been sold for many decades. Systems provide heat recovery (steam, hot air, hot oil), and zero fuel operation of RTO.

Spray dryer evaporator (SDETM) / Zero discharge (ZD)

GE offers a proven SDETM solution for plants operating WFGD technologies to achieve Zero Discharge
(ZD). Our simple and cost effective SDETM technology uses a slip stream of hot flue gas to evaporate waste
water. The dissolved or suspended solids are collected in existing particulate removal equipment, or
optionally with a separate collector. Standard truck shippable design is available for smaller applications
that reduces costs and project schedule. The SDETM can evaporate waste water as a stand alone system, or
for large waste water flows it can be used along with a brine concentrator to reduce the volume. Optional
addition of lime to the wastewater feed stream can provide partial acid gas (SO3 and HCl) removal.

SUCCESS STORY

GE’s Environmental Control Systems and GE Power Service in Malaysia

supplied, installed and commissioned the GE high frequency transformers,
SIR 4, and control units, EPIC III, at KAPAR Energy Ventures site.
This is a 500 MW coal fired boiler located 50 km west of Kuala Lumpur. With our
powerful high frequency transformers and intelligent control units, we were able to
reduce particulate emissions by 50%, compared to the level before the installation and
this was done with no other investment in the flue gas cleaning system! In addition the
GE Process monitoring system ProMo was installed enabling remote monitoring and
adjusting of the flue gas handling system parameters for even higher efficiency.
