Operating experience of 75 t/h two stage circulating fluidized bed boiler
Two 2-stage circulating fluidized bed combustion boilers have been put into operation in the Pacific Ocean Cogeneration Company for 3 years. After being put into operation these boilers had the following problems: Steam Capacity was less than the design value; Fly ash collecting efficiency of the two stage separators was lower, resulting in lower combustion efficiency and higher coal consumption; Refractory bricks of the furnace roof frequently fell off; and Bed temperature at the low part of the combustion chamber was higher than 1,050 C, resulting in lower de-SO{sub x} efficiency. In order to improve combustion efficiency, save fuel and prolong the duration of runs, the following technology improvements have been adopted: Replacing the second stage louver separator with two horizontal louver cyclone separators. This improved the fly ash collecting efficiency; and An additional membrane wall is placed at the furnace roof to support the refractory bricks, prevent refractory bricks from falling off, and prolong the duration of runs. After these improvements, the boiler can run stably at design conditions and the boiler efficiency reaches 80.1%, 5 percentage points higher than before; the bed temperature can be controlled in the range of 900{approximately}950 C; the refractory bricks of the furnace roof have not fallen off.
