Conference ·
OSTI ID:458524

There are two main coals in the Czech Republic. Brown coal from the North Bohemia region has a heating value of 8 to 15 MJ/kg and a sulfur content of 0.8 to 1.5%. Bituminous coal from the Ostrava region has a heating value of 19--25 MJ/kg with a sulfur content of 0.4--0.7%. The paper discusses the influence of coal quality on boiler operation in power and district heating plants. Innovative technologies in boilers, namely, stationary and circulating bed boilers, are described. The author believes that the trend will be towards integrated gasification combined cycle plants in the years after the turn of the century.
