Design for a 350 MWe class CFB boiler
This paper describes Foster Wheeler's design for a 350 MWe Class boiler. Foster Wheeler's experience with large CFB boilers and with large suspension fired boilers is summarized. A reference 350 MWe CFB boiler design is presented and major design features are described along with expected performance. Areas in the CFB boiler design which benefit from suspension from boiler experience are highlighted. CFB boilers are now proven in the 150--250 MWe size range, with several in operation and many others scheduled to begin operation this year. The next step for CFB boiler technology is the 300 - 400 MWe size range. This paper will describe Foster Wheeler's design for a 350 MWe class CFB boiler, including the major design features and anticipated performance. The authors will demonstrate how Foster Wheeler's experience in designing large suspension-fired boilers in sizes over 900 MWe has been applied to the 350 MWe class CFB, in order to minimize scale-up risk and ensure high reliability. This design will bring the benefits of CFB technology, which include flexibility and low emissions, to the 350 MWe size range.
