New generation pressurized fluidized bed combustion plants (PFBC) offer increased efficiency and lower cost. At Foster Wheeler, such a plant is under development based on an advanced PFBC cycle. The path to successful, worldwide commercialization involves conceptual design, pilot- and semi-commercial-scale testing, and demonstration. The third and final phase of pilot plant testing of Advanced PFBC is currently underway at the Foster Wheeler John Blizard Research Center, Livingston, New Jersey. Post pilot plant testing is being conducted at the Power System Development Facility operated by Southern Company Services, Wilsonville, Alabama. The 7-MW plant, provides long-term testing of Advanced PFBC with emphasis on evaluating advanced high-temperature, high-pressure gas cleanup systems. The Four Rivers Energy Modernization Project is a DOE Clean Coal Technology demonstration project utilizing Advanced PFBC to produce both steam and power for utility and process plant use. This paper describes Advanced PFBC and summarizes the progress of the projects devised to advance the technology to commercialization.
