Title: Recent developments on CFB-FGD technology

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20018945

Since 1978, when the first commercial sized unit for gas cleaning has been designed applying the expanded circulating fluidized bed principle some process developments have improved the technical and commercial advantages of this simple but highly efficient and reliable dry gas cleaning concept. The multiple nozzle design led to an unlimited size of the absorber gas flow capacity. The partial clean gas recirculation back to the raw gas inlet duct increased the flexibility of the process related on the partial load behavior. The use of a low pressure pulse-jet fabric filter allows unlimited size of the total CFB-FGD system for one unit. The recirculation of the reaction products and the feed of make up hydrated lime upstream of the venturi nozzle improves the flowability of the reaction products even on chemically critical compounds. The limestone injection into the boiler reduces the sorbent costs in relation to using hydrated lime.
