Return on Investment: Break-Even Point
Asia Coal Catalyst Company CC#88 is a remarkably inexpensive product.
CC-88 ROI:
Typical Feed Rate Per Tonne: 0.25Kg to 2.0Kg/tonne
Typical Combustion Improvement: 15%
The “break-even” cost of the CC-88 Coal Catalyst used in the average boiler is equivalent to the fuel savings resulting from about 2-3 percent increase in overall boiler efficiency for the first 90 days when the fireside surfaces are quite dirty. After the initial 90-day fireside “clean-up” period, about one-half the original amount is normally required. This reduces the "break-even" cost to that equivalent to the fuel savings resulting from only about one half of one percent increase in overall boiler efficiency. Your Return On Investment The cost of using CC-88 to reduce air pollution is usually zero. Unlike most air pollution control devices installed on boilers, the comparatively small investment in CC-88 per unit of fuel burned is usually returned many times over by fuel savings. In other words, reduction of air pollution is almost always one of the no-cost “fringe benefits” of AC Coal Catalyst, which also applies to its safety-improvements, maintenance-saving, major repairs-saving, downtime for repairs, purchased power, reduced acid corrosion of metals of construction, and corrosion-inhibiting benefits.
With higher SO2 removal requirements, additional amounts of catalyst can be used, up to 10 Kg per tonne of coal, to obtain approximately 60 percent SO2 reduction. ACCC Coal catalyst will also remove nearly 100 percent of the sulphur trioxide (SO3), a problematic acid-making compound.0.5 Kilograms of CC#88 is normally used to catalyze one tonne of coal for control of slagging and fouling from unburned carbon waste. Quantities depend on each particular situation at each boiler, and the type of coal being fired.
Financial Benefits in Detail
CC-88 is used at an average feed rate of 0.5 kg / 1 tonne (1000kg) of coal. A user's financial breakeven point is measured by the cost per tonne of coal compared to the cost per kilogram of CC-88. ACCC approximates that a user would need a very small improvement to combustion efficiency of only 2-4% for users to see positive ROI. CC-88 users should see combustion improvement of 15%.
Fuel savings alone will more than pay for the cost of CC-88. A 15% improved combustion efficiency will equate into a 15% reduction in coal consumed in the furnace. CC-88 delivers the ability to use less fuel to achieve the same or even greater energy output from every tonne of fuel burned.
If users decide to maintain the same coal feed rate, their systems will produce more steam. CC-88 cleans their system and improves performance. Users will get more BTU's from the same amount of coal burned.

Why Coal Catalyst Is Your Best Option
Coal Catalyst employs a superior proprietary formula that has been continually tested, improved and optimized for over fifty years. Apart from the above mentioned benefits, Asia Coal catalyst is a dry sorbent that mixes readily with coal enabling the most simplistic cost-effective usage when compared with liquid and slurry catalysts. Liquid catalysts require more complex delivery systems, and liquid is far more difficult and costly to ship in bulk.

Environmental Benefits
ACCC COAL CATALYST MINIMIZES POLLUTION
Coal is expected to be the main source of electricity until the year 2025. China, India, and the other Asian countries must clean up their coal-fired power plants and the millions of factories that burn coal, to prevent pollution levels soaring to unacceptable levels both at home and around the globe.
New plants will need to reduce emissions more efficiently than the plants established in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Unfortunately, the older plants still release gases and solids that cause smog, acid rain, lung disease and mercury poisoning. They also produce between 30 and 40 percent of the world's carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, a leading cause of global climate change.
Accordingly, Asia Coal Catalyst Company has developed a unique compound for retrofitting older boilers that burn coal. Industries using coal-fired furnaces, coal- and oil-fired boilers, coal pellets and briquettes are already employing this excellent commodity to minimize harmful emissions. With only a minimal installation cost, CC-88 Coal Catalyst best reduces pollution emitted by factories, especially in the utility and industrial boilers used at steel mills, chemical manufacturing and concrete / cement industries.
Asia Coal Catalyst is a readily made dry powder that permits older coal-fired systems to maintain existing technologies already in application, and offers the most affordable approach to clean coal burning power systems. By optimizing combustion efficiency and reducing the amount of coal or oil needed to produce steam, Asia Coal Catalyst minimizes the output of CO, SO2, SO3, NOx, and other harmful particulate emissions. The catalyst is completely consumed by the combustion process.
As an emission-control medium, Asia Coal Catalyst sequesters sulfur, minimizing the quantity of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas. It also minimizes the carbon carry-over that normally provides “seeding” of fly ash particles, thereby decreasing particulate emissions (carbon carryover).
Without exception, Asia Coal Catalyst helps users to best improve environmental standards and achieve the most efficient utilization of coal resources. This compound is the optimal solution for environmental problems related to pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from coal usage.
Equipment Benefits
Furnace and Boiler Equipment Operation Cost Reductions
The use of Coal Catalyst CC-88 will remove slagging and maintain a clean operating furnace system. To remove slag that has accumulated in a furnace a higher dose of CC-88 should be used initially for a period of 45 to 60 days. At the end of this period, the catalyst can be reduced to its nominal designed feed rate and the slag will not form on heat transfer surfaces again. The coating of slag and hard carbon deposits inside boiler tubes will become a light friable material that is easily removed by compressed air during soot blowing instead of manual removal of hard carbon deposits.
Slagging of boiler tubes is very common for some types of coal. When this occurs, costly downtime is necessary to clean out the boiler components. In some instances, additional power needs to be purchased by a user to meet sufficient power requirements. With the use of CC-88, the cost incurred from added shut downs due to slagging and related maintenance can be eliminated as well as the cost of buying power to replace power lost during shut downs.
CC-88 will reduce the amount of SO3 emissions and as a result greatly reduce cold end corrosion in equipment downstream of the boiler system such as the air pre-heater, particulate collection device, fans and breechings. Over the years of continuous operation , this will save considerable costs for replacement of the older deficient equipment of rebuilding of furnace boiler equipment due to age related equipment failure.
Emission Control
Cost of Coal Catalyst in Harmful Emission Control
The cost of using Coal Catalyst CC-88 to reduce air pollution is usually zero dollars. CC-88 will pay for itself by fuel efficiency improvements. Air Pollution Control devices (electrostatic precipitators, bag houses and fabric filters are now installed as part of new equipment or as a costly retrofit to boiler operators to clean their smokestack emissions. Coal Catalyst CC-88 is a comparative small investment per unit of fuel burned when compared to retrofit and downtime costs. CC-88 costs are usually returned many times over by fuel savings alone. The reduction of air pollution is almost always one of the no-cost benefits of using CC-88, which also applies to improving the furnace / boiler safety, improving equipment maintenance and adding savings, avoiding costly major repair savings and corrosion inhibiting benefits that avoid long-term negative effects on physical plant and all other equipment assets.
Using CC-88 Reduces Oxides of Sulfur and Nitrogen (SOx and NOx)
User of Combustion Catalyst CC-88 will reduce the total amount of SOx and NOx emissions coming from their smokestacks.
When or if coal users are penalized on emissions of SOx and NOx due to local, state or federal regulations, CC-88 usage can decrease penalty costs by an amount equal to the reduction in the pollution it provides.
If the boiler operator needs additional sulfur dioxide reductions, additional CC-88 can be introduced to the furnace to promote SO2 removal. Reductions of up to 50% SO2 can be achieved with feed rates of up to 10kg/tonne of coal fired (22lb/metric ton). This added expense should be evaluated against the cost of alternative methods of SO2 control which are normally much more expensive.
The use of Coal Catalyst CC-88 will also assist in the reduction of NOx, SO3 , and other harmful pollutants.
