This paper summarizes recent progress on the development of a micro-fine coal fired burner for retrofit application in an industrial scale boiler designed for gas/oil. The work has been carried out under DOE-PETC support, in a joint project between the Energy and Fuels Research Center of The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and ABB Power Plant Laboratories. The primary focus of this program was to carry out a long term test under steady state operation on micro-fine coal while maximizing carbon conversion efficiency and maintaining NO{sub x} emissions below a target goal. Specific experimental results discussed here include a summary of the approximately 500 hour testing of the burner in a 15,000 lb/hr package boiler located at Penn State. All program goals were met except carbon conversion efficiency. The results have shown very good performance especially considering the very small size and short residence time in the boiler. in addition to burner performance/boiler test results the paper presents an economic evaluation of the burner system for retrofit applications.
