Incremental capacity

A clear understanding of the pressure balance is extremely imptiriant in squeezing the most out of a unit. Incremental capacity can come from increased catalyst circulation or from altering the differential pressure between the reactor-regenerator to free up the wet gas compressor or air blower loads. One must know how to manipulate the pressure balance to identify the true constraints of the unit. 

The multivariable modeling/control package is able to hold more tightly against constraints and recover more quickly from disturbances. This results in an incremental capacity used to justify multivariable control. An extensive test run is necessary to measure the response of unit variables. 

Refiners have become particularly adept in using technology to find incremental capacity from existing processing equipment. Thus, the refining industry can process more crude oil with present equipment. In spite of this, the number of refineries is decreasing yet, capacity increases incrementally.

One of the interesting features of the two-phase digestion process is that it can be retrofitted to an existing anaerobic digestion plant to effectively double its treatment capacity at a considerably reduced capital cost compared to the cost of a grassroots plant of the same additional incremental capacity. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s projection of new anaerobic digestion capacity needed in the United States for municipal wastewater treatment in...

Many of the concepts presented in this report incorporate modular approach to reactor design, which allows building multi-module plants of higher overall capacity with an option of incremental capacity increase. Such possibility is indicated in Table 2 and outhned in more detail in the corresponding annexes.

Incremental capacity addition. The MASLWR concept has a relatively small energy output of 150MW(th), and each of the power generation units (see Fig. I-l) are independent. This allows flexibility in total plant power for a wide range of applications ...

The simplicity of design, short construction period, and an option of incremental capacity increase through modular approach are expected to result in a much smaller capital investment for the FBNR as compared to conventional PWRs. 

In industrialized countries, the electricity market deregulation is calling for a flexibility of power generation and applications that smaller reactors may offer. In particular, the SMRs of modular design provide for an incremental capacity increase, which makes it possible to spread the investments in time and to reduce the associated financial risk ... 

In industrialized countries, the market deregulation and resulting competition drives the utilities toward shorter time of capital recovery and lower financial risks, which could perhaps be achieved by enabling the incremental capacity addition to a network that would match the incremental increase of demand. On the other hand, an essential simplification of plant operating and maintenance requirements may be requested to justify for, say, the reduced number of control rooms at a site with several modular reactors.

Provides for incremental capacity increases through a modular approach. 

An incremental capacity increase is possible with this reactor concept in which two or more reactor cores are installed in a single reactor water pool. For this reason, even if the output of one reactor core is 300 MW(e), a large total output is possible. 

Incremental capacity addition The GT-MHR can be deployed as incremental 268 MW(e) modules in a multi-module site application, with common auxiliaries and central control of up to 4 modules for a total capacity of 1145 MW(e). This allows sequencing of new capacity additions to more closely match demand while obtaining the economic benefits of large-scale generation as the capacity expands.
