Case study: Retrofit of existing lignite PP External lignite dryer and indirect firing towards flexibility increase
� Addition of slip stream drying with a) flue gas b) excess heat (different technology options)
� Slight efficiency increase by decreasing flue gas temperature
� Excess heat from air preheater allows slip stream drying for daily 6-8 hours part load operation

Case study: Retrofit options of a new build lignite PP
External lignite dryer and indirect firing towards flexibility increase
� The integration of a fluidized bed drying technology with
inert gas loop was investigated for different cases
� Dry lignite utilization improves net efficiency in all cases
� Significant increase of flexibility at total substitution of
expensive oil
� The application of 30 % dried lignite is possible with low
technical efforts resulting to flexibility and efficiency
improvements
� An overproduction of dry lignite is possible, for combustion
in other power plants or industrial furnaces

� MHPSE’s long and broad experience on power plants utilizing dry lignite
(first references in the 60s-70s).
� Despite the severe market environment for new builds, existing
thermal power plants continue to play a key role for the stability of the
electricity system ���� need for flexibility
� Not all drying technologies optimized for all applications. Evaluation
based on each application field necessary.
� Lignite pre-drying systems currently investigated towards increase of
flexibility (reduction of minimum load) in existing and new built lignite
boilers.
� Step by step development of solutions for specific cases (cooperation
with clients in the framework of commercial studies and R&D projects).
