The safe storage, handling and combustion of fuel is essential on all power plants. In the UK, this is governed by a Pulverised Fuel Code of Practice, a document individually produced for each power station, based on the fuel used and the equipment and safety features deployed on the plant itself.
RJM’s engineers are experienced in the risk assessment of fuel usage, be it gas, liquid or solid fuels, and, most importantly, with how this assessment changes if the fuel changes – this can be a coal to biomass conversion, or even the use of a different coal type.
RJM can produce a specific PF Code of Practice for a plant or modify an existing one, in accordance with a fuel or operational change. All assessments are supported by detailed calculations to produce a workable operational procedure for implementation on site.
