Abstract: Abstract A pipe welding arrangement that allows for real-time independent control of all carriages, orches, and ancillary components by design. The invention uses a split-ring race that is mounted on i backing ring of similar design. Numerous welding heads are mounted on carriages that are Distributed at set intervals along the circumference of the race. The left and right side race and backing ring assemblies are split at the twelve o'clock and six o'clock positions. They can be decoupled and spread apart horizontally to facilitate installation and for clearing obstacles. Alignment tools (tapered pins) facilitate assembly. Locking devices located near each split interface, coupled with the alignment pins, assure that the race acts as a continuous unit during the welding operation. Linear actuators mounted on the backing rings maintain concentricity between the race and the welded tube and act as a positive clamping system. 66 10 FIG. 1 12- .-- 22

Filed: 2012-09-25
Granted: 2017-06-15
Abstract: Methods of reducing emissions levels during steady-state conditions are disclosed for use with a dry scrubber desulfurization system. A dry calcium hydroxide powder is injected into the gas flowpath and watered in the spray dryer absorber. The resulting slurry is then deposited on the filter bags in the baghouse. This can be done at lower temperatures than the spray dryer absorber would otherwise be operable, enabling desulfurization to occur earlier in the combustion process, particularly during startup of a cold boiler at ambient temperature. The operation of the boiler can also be backed up, made up, trimmed, or augmented depending on various operating scenarios.
