Power to the Future! RJM webinar targets Nordic energy producers

Nov 9, 2021 | Events, Green

On Wednesday 24th November, RJM will be holding its second webinar, targeting power and heat producers across Scandinavia. Entitled “Power to the Future!” it is aimed at plant managers who are now tasked with building carbon-free, low emissions resilience into their power and heat generation assets. As per RJM’s first webinar back in March 2021, it is teaming up with non-compete partners ECOMB and IGS in order to be able to present a wide range of case-study examples and a full suite of products and services that can support the transition to lower carbon generation.

As well as combined RJM / ECOMB and RJM / IGS presentations, there will be scene-setting introductions by three trade associations: Skogs-industrierna, Energi-företagen and Avfall Sverige covering off the pulp & paper and waste sectors.

RJM consolidates growth across Asia-Pacific and Australia
Having recently won a number of significant power plant performance upgrade projects, RJM announces today that it is currently working on power plants across South-East Asia and Australia. For these plants which have a combined output in excess of 10,000MW, RJM is delivering a range of innovative products, services and performance solutions to help them meet the latest emissions legislation, improve combustion performance, improve fuel flexibility and enhance operational reliability and efficiency. Most South-East Asian countries have committed to reduce the intensity of their carbon emissions and fully decarbonise by 2050. The work RJM is doing in these countries is supporting this drive to decarbonisation, through making coal-fired power plants operate more efficiently and also through exploring how power plants can be converted to co-fire biomass with coal, both of which reduce carbon emissions. In Australia, as the continent adopts its Net Zero Plan, the immediate requirement for power plants is to meet the forthcoming tightening up of NOx emissions while maintaining combustion performance, and RJM will be applying its proven low NOx technologies to facilitate this reduction in NOx emissions. Commenting on these major successes in Asia-Pacific, John Goldring, Managing Director of RJM International said, “The projects that we are winning across the region confirm our commitment to delivering the energy transition and our capability to work with generators – no matter what the fuel, the firing technology or the size of the plant. “We are confident that our innovative approach to solving complex combustion and emissions challenges is just as relevant to other power plants in Asia-Pacific as they seek to improve performance, meet tightening emissions regulations and deliver on their decarbonisation strategies. “Whilst much of the focus in the energy sector today is rightly on renewables – which RJM is promoting and contributing to – all these countries need to maintain an efficient and versatile thermal-fired generation capability to deliver reliable baseload power that is clean and affordable during this important energy transition to cleaner energy supplies,” he confirmed.
RJM to present at UK’s first ever Bio-Dust Conference 11th June 2024
Dr. Gerry Riley, Head of Business Development at RJM will present a paper at the UK’s first Bio-Dust Conference being hosted by the University of Greenwich’s Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology on Tuesday 11th June. The Conference is being held at the University of Greenwich’s Medway Campus at Chatham Maritime in Kent and will bring together UK industry leaders that handle, manage and regulate bio-dust, to share best practice and lessons learned. “Learning from the past – dust-related incidents on power plants” is the title of Gerry’s presentation, co-authored by Anjali Mohindra of RJM and Alf Malmgren of BioC Limited. It will focus on how the safe handling and storage of biomass fuels in thermal power stations is absolutely critical and is based on a report currently being updated by RJM and BioC Limited on behalf of the Energy Institute to ensure best practice reflects the latest findings from industry. With generators increasingly widening their fuel diet to transition to lower carbon generation by including new zero carbon fuels such as biomass, the Bio-Dust Conference will be an opportunity for industry leaders in the UK to discuss the challenges they face and debate solutions for the future, with an aspiration to make the industry safer. As the UK’s single-largest generator of renewable electricity using biomass, the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology has collaborated with Drax to create this first opportunity for organisations, academics and professionals in the industry to come together. The Conference agenda also includes panel sessions to give industry professionals a platform to host discussions on optimum design and equipment selection.

RJM presents its new IMPULSE® Cleaning technology to European W2E plants at PREWIN event Thursday 6th June 2024
Dr. Gerry Riley of RJM International and Vince Barreto, of PowerPlus Cleaning Systems of the USA will jointly present a paper demonstrating the advantages of the IMPULSE® Cleaning system to PREWIN members at the Aston University Conference Centre, Birmingham on 6th June 2024. The IMPULSE® system uses innovative shockwave technology to significantly reduce the build-up of fused ash deposits and enables plants to operate longer campaigns with reduced downtime. The headline topic of this PREWIN conference is On-Line Cleaning and the joint RJM / PowerPlus paper is entitled, “The advantages of IMPULSE® shockwave cleaning technology on Waste to Energy boiler applications”. Over 350 IMPULSE® Cleaning units have now been successfully installed by PowerPlus at a mix of power plants across the USA including CFB units firing coal and petcoke, Waste to Energy plants firing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Refuse-Derived Waste (RDF), as well as other plants firing various biomass fuels. Most recently, RJM has acquired from PowerPlus Cleaning the exclusive rights to sell the IMPULSE® technology in Europe and is currently installing an 11 unit IMPULSE® system at an Outotec plant firing waste wood in the UK and a two unit IMPULSE®system at a rotary kiln unit firing hazardous waste in Sweden. Confirming the effectiveness of the IMPULSE® technology a USA-based customer commented, “The results were dramatic. The plant personnel had never seen the boiler looking so clean after a year of operation. The IMPULSE® system has maximised production and allowed us to operate both boilers for the entire nine month processing season, without the need for a forced outage.” Jeff Kava, Western Sugar.

It includes waste treatment plant operators, equipment suppliers, maintenance companies and consultancies. It holds regular meetings to support progress towards improved performance and reliability of European Waste-to-Energy plants (incineration and co-incineration) while maintaining low or reduced emissions to the environment.
