History
141 267p
Two CFBtechnologies have been developed
• One origin was a bubbling bed burning low grade fuels
• The other origin were gas/solid reactors for process technology
applications
End of 70ies first applications in coal combustion
Break through
• in the 80ies due to environmental legislation
Typically 200 mg/m³ NOX and 200 - 1,000 mg/m³ SO2 became
mandatory
• later due to utilisation of opportunity fuels

Platen heaters within the furnace are a powerful
feature:
• To extract heat for superheating from the
furnace
• To have a self controlling system for furnace
heat extraction (no mechanical control means
needed)
• To avoid erosion of heating surfaces by
installation in the vertical flow area of the
furnace and smooth surface design
First unit has now gathered more than 100 000 h
operation with first platen heater equipment.

•
• Maximize finesolid recirculation
•
• Increase carbon burnout as well as limestone utilization
•
• Increasing solid concentration in the upper furnace leads
to
•
• enhanced heat transfer
•
• perfect temperature homogenity
•
• Fine PSD of inventory and thus less erosions
•
• Minimize solids entrained to the backpass and thus
•
• less backpass erosion
•
• less backpass fouling
•
• lower CO generated in the backpass

Advantages of CFB
forHigh Sulphur Lignite
Desulphurization of > 97 % achievable
Reduced slagging tendency in the furnace
– No slagging due to pyrite of other sulphur components
– Reduced fouling in the backpass due to low
temperature
and even temperature profile
Higher boiler efficiency
– Marginal SO3 in flue gas due to SO3 capture by
limestone
– Therefore, flue gas exit temperature of 140 °C or less
056 374p

Lignite Fired CFBPlants
Sulphur content of 14 % (daf) commercially utilized in
CFB
Desulphurization of > 97 % achievable
Special attention must be given to cyclone
performance
Equal fuel / air / limestone feeding into the furnace
must be
ensured under all operating conditions
Intensive testing is highly recommended:
– mine operation
– coal analysis with emphasis on type of sulphur

Summary
001 673p
•
• CFBtechnology is well developed today
More than 300 CFB plants are operating or are under
construction
Plants with 250 MW capacity are running since 1995
•
• CFB technology meets environmental requirements
NOX values less than 200 mg/m3
s.t.p. and desulphurization
efficiencies higher than 97 % could be achieved
•
• CFB techhnology is able to burn a wide range of fuels
Especially high sulphur and/or high ash or high water coals
could be utilized
