Upgrading Coal-Fired Plants

Performance on even the most modern coal-fired power plants can still be improved. Generators are seeking RJM's support to deliver cost-effective upgrades that will increase MWe output, improve reliability, reduce emissions and use less reagent.

Enabling plants to maintain viable generation and still meet ever-tightening emissions is a core strength of RJM. Finding the sweet spot that maximises improvements in plant performance combined with significantly reduced emissions on the one hand, with cost-effective investment on the other is where RJM has developed great expertise, helping these plants benefit from efficiency gains and more reliable generation, with reduced emissions during the descent to net zero.

Currently, RJM is delivering a range of operational changes plus engineering hardware improvements, such as new burners, to these coal-fired utility plants.

These intelligently engineered upgrades can increase MWe, use less fuel, reduce the amount of parasitic load and cut back on the amount of flue gas treatment additives needed, such as ammonia. They also have relatively short payback periods, making them even more attractive to plant owners.

RJM has recently completed a major coal plant performance upgrade at ZETES 2 Unit 3 in Turkey and has just been appointed by the owner, Eren Enerji, to carry out a similar upgrade on its sister plant ZETES 2 Unit 2.

As well as its projects in Turkey, RJM is currently working with utility generators in Australia and  Malaysia, implementing this type of coal plant upgrade project and delivering exceptional results.
