SO{sub x} and NO{sub x} control in Pyroflow circulating fluidized-bed boilers
Ahlstrom Pyropower offers the most comprehensive experience with Circulating Fluidized-Bed Boiler technology available in the world. There are more than 135 Pyroflow units in operation or under construction worldwide with over 400 unit years of operating experience. All Ahlstrom Pyropower units have met their guarantees including, in some cases, the strictest emission limits. Pyroflow commercial CFB boilers have proven the ability and flexibility to burn a wide variety of low grade fuels economically and still meet stringent environmental requirements. The emission control in CFB boilers is specific to the type of fuel used, since each fuel analysis can vary widely. Sulfur dioxide emissions (SO{sub 2}) from CFB boilers are effectively controlled by means of feeding limestone at predetermined locations in the furnace. NO{sub x} emissions are controlled by staged combustion. NO{sub x} emissions can be controlled furthermore by direct injection of ammonia or urea at furnace outlet. SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} emissions in Ahlstrom Pyropower CFB boilers have been improved over the years by improved process and design parameters. Data from recently commissioned units are provided. A comparison of SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} emissions with permitted levels is made.
