Coal Prices Reach New High For 2011 - Coal Savings Products Offered By Asia Coal Catalyst Company

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Power demand from Asia utilities, Asia factories and increased demand for construction materials such as concrete and steel have pushed China's thermal coal prices to record high-levels. Coal prices across Asia have been rising steadily each week, with experts predicting summer coal shortages.

The current prices of coal at Qingdao is at a five-month high of 815 yuan ($124.85).
The average weekly prices of coal with a heating value of 5,500 kcal/kg NAR climbed to 795-800 yuan a tonne on April 25, while 6,000 kcal/kg coal steadied at 845 yuan, according to industry data website SXCOAL (www.sxcoal.com).

Power consumption is on the rise and utilities are burning more coal each day and buying more to and replenish their stocks.

At the same time the coal mine operators output from mines are challenged to move such massive quantities of coal needed. China faces constant bottlenecks of coal on its railways.

The head of the China's National Energy Administration has warned that China must be prepared to cope with power shortfalls during the high energy-consuming summer month as other agencies cautioned about a fuel supply shortage. The coal mine output is challenged to meet with demand.
   
China and India demand for Indonesian sub-bituminous coal remains strong and
the coal traders have been importing many tonnes.

Asia's two largest countries are power hungry economies with hundreds of millions of people just getting to plug in appliances for the first time.

There are two different types of coal The first is for thermal coal used to produce electricity. More than 70% of China’s electricity comes from coal-fired plants. The second demand is for metallurgical, or coking, coal. China and India do not have that much metallurgical coal and must import a great amount from Australia. All the infrastructure development in Asia requires steel and concrete. Concrete and steel production consume vast quantities of coal. Since concrete and steel are the backbone of Asia's economy, thermal and metallurgical coal imports that will be stoking the Asia's furnaces.

The growth of Asia's coal market is not slowing down so coal must be conserved.

How is Asia to save on its coal used? Asia Coal Catalyst Company offers CC-88 Coal Combustion Catalyst to Save on coal usage in India, China and across Asia.

CC-88 is a tried and proven Fireside Chemical Treatment (FCT) developed in the USA and now being used in China’s Sichuan and Shandong Provinces.

CC-88 will reduce the amount of coal consumed by as much as 5% - 15% percent depending on the type of boiler, the boiler efficiency, the type of coal burned and the thermodynamics of the system

CC-88 is designed to pay for itself through fuel savings and by helping to significantly reduce costs of boiler maintenance. Poor performing boilers are subjected to unscheduled shutdowns for removal of slag and due to fouling; sometimes resulting in costly equipment repairs.

CC-88 Coal Catalyst improves coal combustion and reduces harmful emission of wasted black carbon fuel (soot). CC-88 Coal Catalyst improves energy efficiency and reduces your operating costs.

CC-88 is applicable to all types of Coal combustion systems needing to improve energy efficiency. Many of China's aging industrial boiler systems are inhibited by slagging and fouling. As hard carbon deposits on the inside of a boiler the slag inhibits heat transfer, which reduces fuel efficiency.

CC-88 works to soften existing hard carbon deposits and help prevent new slag formation. Ass CC-88 Combustion Catalyst works its way through the boiler system it will help combust wasted carbon fuel that is collecting in the cold end of the boiler. As the cold end soot deposits, soot blowers and other slag removal devices removed remaining soot more thoroughly and efficiently, this also lowers the load on pollution control devices (electrostatic precipitators).

How does Coal Catalyst work? Coal Catalyst CC-88 accelerates the oxidation reaction of carbon to produce more heat per unit time. Coal Catalyst CC-88 Oxidizes carbon at temperatures lower than normal ignition temperatures, this speeds combustion and thereby reduces carbon and slag deposits in the colder regions of the boiler.

CC-88 Coal Catalyst also cleans the system of Slagging and Carbon Waste making equipment operate more efficiently with less maintenance costs. Use of Coal Catalyst CC-88 will allow longer and better operation of the older and less efficient boilers equipment.

About Asia Coal Catalyst Company Asia Coal Catalyst Company is a Clean Coal Combustion Catalyst company engaged in the worldwide development, commercialization and application of state-of-the-art proprietary technologies for air pollution control. Asia Coal Catalyst Company has installations on over 200 units worldwide, where coal, fuel oil, natural gas, wood and other solid fuels are utilized.

The Company’s CC-88 technology revolves around the unique application of a proprietary Clean Coal Combustion Catalyst that improves the efficiency, reliability, fuel flexibility and environmental status of combustion units by controlling slagging, fouling, corrosion, opacity and acid plume, as well as the formation of sulfur trioxide, ammonium bisulfate, particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide and NOx. This technology, in the form of CC-88 program has been applied to over more than 200 combustion units burning a wide variety of fuels including coal, heavy oil, biomass, and municipal waste. A breakdown of the nature of these customer units is posted on the Company’s website.
