Abstract:
The paper discusses the problem of fine dust emissions (PM 2.5 and PM10) from the burning of paddy straw residues in the fields of selected Indian provinces of New Delhi and NCR region. It was considered to direct the use the part of the residue paddy straw for co-combustion with hard coal in the existing coal-fired units of the Haryjana province. The proposed technology has already been verified in industrial scale. Step-wise logistics model was proposed to be implemented at the first stage of paddy straw co-firing implementation. The analysis of the emission effects of the proposed approach showed that it is possible to significantly reduce the emission of airborne harmful substances, including the complete elimination of fine dust emissions from the Haryjana state in the reference variant (field stubble burning).
