With the rapid expansion of electrical power in southeast Asia and China, the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology meets the needs of local utilities and independent power producers (IPPs) alike. This paper will discuss how the ABB-Combustion Engineering Flextech CFB technology can meet these growing electrical power needs. The locally available coals of China and southeast Asia and how they are readily suited for firing in the Flextech CFB technology will be discussed. Detailed discussions will include the characteristics of each coal, expected local emission levels, and the operational characteristics of the Flextech designs while firing the various coals. The paper will then proceed to illustrate in detail proposed Flextech CFB solutions for electrical generation from 50 to 250 megawatts of power.
