Fluid bed combustion technology has been utilized in a broad range of industries to produce steam and electricity. The advantages of circulating fluid bed technology, including the ability to use both conventional and waste fuels in an environmentally sound combustion process, have been the driving forces for the selection of CFB by numerous companies. An important trend in the market development for CFB has been increased interest in the scale-up of units to larger, utility size applications. The environmental and fuel flexibility features are also of strong interest for companies looking for 150--400 MW output. The worldwide private power industry has utilized fluidized bed combustion as one of its options for power development. ABB Combustion Engineering has been a leader in the design of these larger units. This paper will provide specific details on the design and operation of large scale fluidized bed for power generation, along with a review of the impact of different fuels on unit design. The authors will include their perspective on the future for advanced CFB designs also.
