The York County Energy Partners (YCEP) project, to be located in York County, Pennsylvania, will demonstrate the world`s largest atmospheric circulating fluidized bed boiler under sponsorship of the US Department of Energy`s Clean Coal Technology I Program. The single ACFB boiler, designed by Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, will produce 227 MWe of net electrical power and export approximately 50,000 lb/hr of steam. This paper explains how the technical challenges to the design of a utility-scale ACFB boiler were met and presents the innovative features of this design.
