Circulating fluidizing bed combustion Boiler presentation Sawan Vaja
CFBC boilers operate at high temperatures of 850-900 degrees Celsius and velocities of 4-7 meters per second. They allow for the combustion of low-grade fuels like coal rejects, rice husk, and wood chips. In a CFBC boiler, fuel particles are suspended in a bubbling fluidized bed and burned using a mixture of air injected from below. Ash and partially burned fuel circulate and re-burn, improving efficiency. CFBC boilers have advantages like high fuel flexibility, reduced emissions, and simpler operation compared to traditional boilers.
An air preheater is a heat exchanger that heats incoming combustion air by transferring heat from the flue gases before they are exhausted to the atmosphere. This improves boiler efficiency. There are two main types: recuperative, which uses stationary heat transfer surfaces, and regenerative, which uses rotating heat transfer surfaces. Proper operation and maintenance is important to minimize issues like air leakage, erosion, corrosion, plugging, and fouling that can reduce the air preheater's effectiveness over time. Regular inspection and cleaning helps maintain high performance.
The document discusses the key benefits and evolution of circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boiler technology. It provides details on the design and operation of CFBC boilers, including their furnace design, U-beam particle separator system, convection pass, and improved performance from two-stage particle separation. CFBC boilers offer benefits like high combustion efficiency, fuel flexibility, compact design, low emissions, and reduced maintenance costs compared to earlier boiler technologies.

Soot Blowing Optimization- Field ExperiencePooja Agarwal
The document discusses soot blower optimization strategies implemented at Jindal Power Limited coal-fired power plants. Previously, all 56 furnace wall soot blowers were operated once every 8 hours, consuming substantial steam. Through a study, JPL found that operating soot blowers in certain areas and sequences had little effect on boiler parameters. This allowed reducing operations to only blowing 14 blowers once daily and 28 blowers every other day, saving over 1,300 tons of steam annually. Financial savings from reduced steam and coal usage were estimated at over 4 lakh rupees annually. The optimized strategy improved boiler performance and heat rate while reducing emissions and maintenance costs.

1. Supercritical boilers operate above the critical pressure of water (221 bar), where there is no distinction between water and steam.
2. Operating above the critical pressure provides benefits like higher cycle efficiency, lower fuel consumption and emissions, and improved load change flexibility compared to subcritical boilers.
3. The key difference between subcritical and supercritical boilers is that supercritical boilers are drumless, with evaporation occurring in a single pass and flow induced by the feed pump rather than natural circulation.
Thermal Engineering is a specialised sub-discipline of Mechanical Engineering that deals exclusively with heat energy and its transfer between not only different mediums, but also into other usable forms of energy. A Thermal Engineer will be armed with the expertise to design systems and process to convert generated energy from various thermal sources into chemical, mechanical or electrical energy depending on the task at hand. Obviously, all Thermal Engineers are experts in all aspects of heat transfer.
Many process plants (basically somewhere where some raw material or resource is converted into something useful, e.g. power plants, oil refineries, plastic manufacturing plants, etc.) contain countless components and systems which have to be designed in terms of their heat transfer; it is particularly important to ensure that not too much heat is retained so the component or process is not disrupted. Conversely, some processes or systems are designed to use heat to their advantage and a Thermal Engineer must make sure enough heat is generated and used wisely (i.e. sustainably).
The document discusses the HP/LP bypass system used in thermal power stations. The bypass system allows live steam from the boiler to bypass the turbine and be dumped into the condenser.

However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
40. 3.1 Stage of Combustion
• A particle of solid fuel injected into an FB undergoes the following
sequence of events:
- Heating and drying
- Devolatilization and volatile combustion
- Swelling and primary fragmentation (for some types of coal)
- Combustion of char with secondary fragmentation and attrition
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
41. 3.1 Stages of Combustion
• Heating and Drying
- Combustible materials constitutes around 0.5-5.0% by weight
of total solids in combustor
- Rate of heating 100 °C/sec – 1000 °C/sec
- Heat transfer to a fuel particle (Halder 1989)
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
42. 3.1 Stages of Combustion
• Devolatilization and volatile combustion
- first steady release 500-600 C
- second release 800-1000C
- slowest species is CO (Keairns et al., 1984)
- 3 mm coal take 14 sec to devolatilze
at 850 C (Basu and Fraser, 1991)
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
43. 3.1 Stages of Combustion
• Char Combustion
2 step of char combustion
1. transportation of oxygen to carbon surface
2. Reaction of carbon with oxygen on the carbon surface
3 regimes of char combustion
- Regime I: mass transfer is higher than kinetic rate
- Regime II: mass transfer is comparable to kinetic rate
- Regime III: mass transfer is very slow compared to kinetic rate
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
44. 3.1 Stage of Combustion
• Communition Phenomena During Combustion
Attrition, Fine particles from
coarse particles through
mechanical contract like
Volatile release in non-porous abrasion with other particles
particle cause the high
internal pressure result in
break a coal particle into
fragmentation
Char burn under regime I
which is mass transfer is
higher than kinetic trasfer.
The sudden collapse or other
Volatile release cause the type of second fragmentation
particle swell call percolative fragmentation
occurs
Char burn under regime I, II,
the pores increases in size à
weak bridge connection of
carbon until it can’t withstand
the hydrodynamic force. It will
fragment again call “
secondary fragmentation”
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
45. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Fuel Characteristics
the lower ratio of FC/VM result in higher combustion efficiency
(Makansi, 1990), (Yoshioka and Ikeda,1990), (Oka, 2004) but the
improper mixing could result in lower combustion efficiency due to
prompting escape of volatile gas from furnace.
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
46. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Operating condition (Bed Temperature)
- higher combustion temperature --- > high combustion efficiency
Limit of Bed temp
-Sulfur capture
-Bed melting
-Water tube failure
High combustion temperature result in high
oxidation reaction, then burn out time
decrease. So the combustion efficiency
increase.
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
47. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Fuel Characteristic (Particle size)
-The effect of this particle size is not
clear
-Fine particle, low burn out time but the
probability to be dispersed from cyclone
the high
-Coarse size, need long time to burn out.
-Both increases and decreases are
possible when particle size decrease
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
48. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Operating condition (superficial velocity)
- high fluidizing velocity decrease combustion efficiency because
Increasing probability of small char particle be elutriated from
circulation loop
- low fluidizing velocity cause defluidization, hot spot and sintering
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
49. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Operating condition (excess air)
- combustion efficiency improve which excess air < 20%
Combustion loss
decrease
significantly
when excess air
< 20%. Excess air >20% less
significant improve
combustion efficiency.
By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
50. 3.2 Factor Affecting Combustion Efficiency
• Operating Condition
The highest loss of combustion result from elutriation of char
particle from circulation loop. Especially, low reactive coal size
smaller than 1 mm it can not achieve complete combustion
efficiency with out fly ash recirculation system.
However, the significant efficiency improve is in range 0.0-2.0 fly
ash recirculation ratio.

By Chakraphong Phurngyai :: Engineer, TKIC
65. 4.1 Heat Transfer in CFB Boiler
• Mechanism of Heat Transfer
In a CFB boiler, fine solid particles
agglomerate and form clusters or
stand in a continuum of generally
up-flowing gas containing sparsely
dispersed solids. The continuum is
called the dispersed phase, while
the agglomerates are called the
cluster phase.
The heat transfer to furnace wall
occurs through conduction from
particle clusters, convection from
dispersed phase, and radiation
from both phase.
