    THERMACT is a combustion catalyst developed by Abhitech Energycon Limited to improve the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as coal. [1] It enhances the rate of heterogeneous combustion reactions, reducing the activation energy needed and allowing carbon to burn faster with less unburnt carbon in ash. [2] THERMACT is dosed via screw feeders into the fire side of cement kilns and power plant boilers to improve thermal efficiency and reduce emissions. Trials have shown THERMACT lowers specific fuel consumption and reduces emissions like SOx and NOx. [3]

    Problems in Combustion of Carbon based fuels
    Combustion of hard coal, alternative fuels, and all other hydro-carbons predominantly all have one primary
    problem. That is, when the fuel VM mismatches with the kiln dimensions, the combustion efficiency goes
    down and causes improper Thermal profile. Not being able to maintain the proper A/F ratio with the
    fluctuating fuel blend causes LOI and fouling. The reducing atmosphere further accentuates (in the presence
    of heavy metals oxides) slagging formation in boilers and accretion in kilns. The delay in burning of Char
    (heterogeneous combustion) leads to higher percentage of Carbon Monoxide and Unburnt carbon in ash.

    What is THERMACT ?
    THERMACT is a fire side Combustion Catalyst developed to aid burning issues associated with carbon
    based fuels, aiming at reducing the Specific Fuel Consumption and reducing Emissions parallelly.

    Properties & Packaging of THERMACT


    THERMACT
     Solid catalyst with granular particles size between 3-5 mm Thermoactive Catalyst For Solid Fuel

     Neutral in nature; Safe for usage and handling by operating personnel Coal, Lignite,Biofuels

     Activated carbon as carrier for the Organic combustion catalysts


    ABHITECH ENERGYCON LIMITED
    An ISO 9001:2008 Certified Company

    Dosing System of THERMACT Packing : 20 kg Silsac bag

     THERMACT dozing is usually done via 1 or 2 positive displacement screw feeders in the fire side
    zone as depicted in the schematic given below.
     Dosing is done at Both Calciner Side and Kiln side simultaneously, in case of Cement Rotary Kiln.
     In case of Power Plant boilers, dosing is preferably done via one of the inspection windows at the
    burner elevation.
     The dosing equipment is easy to instal and can be put up without taking any shutdown.

    Dosage : 1 kg of THERMACT is added to 7-10 tons of Solid fuel

    Working Principle of THERMACT

    It enhances the rate of heterogeneous combustion reactions. This is primarily done by organic catalyst which
    reduces the activation energy needed by reactants. With improved rate, the carbon atoms burn faster and
    results in lesser unburnt carbon in ash. The enhanced affinity between carbon and oxygen also permits plants
    to operate at lower excess air levels which helps in reduced emissions.

    Benefits of THERMACT
     Reduction in SOx/NOx emissions.
     Reduction in Unburnt carbon in ash (LOI).
     Stable combustion and operations.
     Reduction in Specific Consumption of fuel.
     Reduction in Clinker Formation in Power Plants and retardation of accretion in Kilns.
     No CAPEX or OPEX with simple dosing procedures without stoppage of the plant.
     Application is self funded with positive ROI.

    Technical Services
     Team of Technical Executives with wide experience on various fuels and applications. Plant

     study for establishing base line for specific coal consumption, emission parameters etc.

    Development of Test Protocol


     Execution of trial - performance establishment exercise, wherein the results with THERMACT
    will be compared with baseline data indicating clear benefits/advantages, as mentioned above.
     Technical services during the trial and regular usage of the product at No additional cost etc.
