Industrial application of fluidized-bed combustion, Anthracite Culm Combustion Program, A/E Technical Management Services. Final report

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5222110

The Energy Research and Development Administration (now DOE) initiated the $80,000,000 Fluidized Bed Combustion Programs in 1976 and contracts were awarded to five participants. Subsequently, in 1977 there were three additional contracts awarded for the Anthracite Culm Program. The objectives were to determine which applications were most feasible, and to design, build and operate demonstration plants with capacities of 25 to 100 million Btu per hour output burning high sulfur coals and other fuels to obtain sufficient data to enable industry to scale up to larger plant sized installations. Contributions of each of the participants are discussed. Relative merits of each design approach is covered. Specific areas such as fuel feed systems, grid plate design, ignition systems, fly ash reinjection systems, particulate clean up and control systems are discussed. Remaining areas of concern are errosion, combustion efficiency and reliability.
