This contract included the largest ever combustion testing of the fuel pellets, which will be used as fuel in the Uskmouth Conversion Project, at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's Research & Innovation Centre in Nagasaki (Japan).\n \n \n \n \n \n Successful completion of this testing is a significant milestone for the project. The test conclusively proves that a pulverised fuel burner based on MHPS's DS® Ultra Low NOx burner can be used to stably combust the waste derived fuel unsupported (i.e. without any oil or gas support firing). The burner was able to operate continuously at 25MW thermal power using the fuel and is comparable in rating to the burners required for the Uskmouth Conversion Project.\n \n During the testing MHPS established that it was possible to feed large volumes of pulverised fuel to the burner via a pneumatic system without disturbances, at a rate that is comparable to that required at the Uskmouth Conversion Project. MHPS also investigated and confirmed that flue gas emissions were within anticipated levels and that the burner was able to achieve ex...
