What is Coal Reburning?
Coal reburning is a process that makes it possible to utilize the broken down components of burned coal as a means of generating additional energy. This process effectively makes what was once a waste product into another energy source. While a number of different methods have been employed to create a coal burning process, technology continues to enhance the process and further stretch the value of coal as an energy source. One of the current methods that are used for coal reburning is the micronized procedure. Generally, this technique involves the installation of an additional row of coal reburners in an existing furnace. The row is located above the main combustion area for the furnace, and filled with coal that has been milled to a consistency that is finer than talcum powder. This micronized coal powder is enhanced with a small amount of oxygen, which helps to enhance the burning process. The result is a higher temperature produced during a single session of burning, which conver
