Colorado-Ute Nucla Station Circulating-Fluidized-Bed (CFB) demonstration

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5301124
An integral part of the atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC) development program at EPRI has been support for the demonstration of AFBC technology on a utility scale, including the Colorado-Ute Nucla 110-MW circulating-fluidized-bed (CFB) demonstration plant. The objective of this demonstration was to bridge the gap between industrial and utility CFB applications and to determine the operability and performance potential of CFB technology, Test Program Preparation, volume 1 of this report, describes the activities and resources required to successfully develop a detailed test program and presents the results of this preparation phase. Test Program Results, volume 2 of this report, will present the results of the test program and provide an assessment of CFB technology. 1 ref., 64 figs., 28 tabs.
