Utilization of coal-water fuels in fire-tube boilers
Energy and Environmental Research Corporation (EER) completed the design engineering and presented the design to DOE on February 21, 1992. DOE then released EER to begin material procurement. This project is a demonstration for firing coal-water slurry in a fire-tube boiler. The specific objective of this contract is to demonstrate the potential for coal-water fuels to be burned effectively in a fire-tube boiler designed for oil or gas. Task 1 provides for the design and retrofit of the host boiler to fire coal-water slurry. The host boiler is a Cleaver Brooks fire-tube boiler located at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa campus. EER has negotiated a host agreement with the University for the use of the boiler on the test program and has prepared a site plan. Based on the initial design that was presented in the proposal, EER prepared a detailed design of the slurry retrofit. It included additional site specific analysis of toe combustion and heat transfer processes occurring in the fire-tube. The design was submitted to DOE in the form of a design package for the components and a design package for the component integration. After receiving DOE approval at the formal review meeting, EER began to procure the material and installation will follow. At the completion of Task 1, the host boiler will be fully equipped to fire slurry.
