Robinson, T F

Fluidized bed combustion is an economically attractive, technically feasible approach for burning all grades of coal without creating pollution problems. Robinson discusses the combustion and emission control operations of a fluidized bed combustor, explains the component changes necessary to the water/steam and air/flue gas subsystems, and describes the new ash removal and coal and limestone feed subsystems needed to retrofit the equipment to the plant's existing gas or oil-fired boiler.
