Coal Drying Technology
Low-temperature coal drying technology that improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions in thermal power plants.
TABi Energy's Waste Heat Integrated Coal Drying technology converts low-grade, unused waste heat into measurable fuel quality and efficiency gains, specifically targeting high-moisture lignite and sub-bituminous coals. Developed from laboratory-scale research and successfully deployed at utility scale, the system improves plant performance without adding fuel consumption or increasing emissions.
Proven Benefits
Field data and operational experience demonstrate:
- Significant coal moisture reduction
- Direct increase in coal calorific value
- Improved combustion stability and boiler efficiency
- Reduced flue gas losses and auxiliary power demand
- Lower CO₂ and pollutant emissions per MWh
Measured results consistently confirm a strong inverse relationship between moisture content and calorific value, validating the impact of integrated drying on overall plant efficiency.
Why Waste Heat Integration?
Unlike conventional dryers, TABi Energy's approach:
- Utilizes existing waste heat sources
- Requires no additional fuel firing
- Minimizes operational complexity
- Enables scalable, site-specific integration
The result is a low-CAPEX, high-impact solution with fast payback.
How We Work
This ensures optimal drying performance tailored to coal properties, operating conditions, and plant layout.
