History
141 267p
Two CFB technologies 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
between Fixed Grate, Fluidized
Bed, and Pulverized Firing

 Environmentally friendly
CFB technology generates power :
 High SO2 capture
 Firing a wide variety of different fuels
 Low NOx emissions

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.

Advantages of CFB
for High 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 CFB Plants
 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

    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 Conclusion 056 377p
