Development progress on the atmospheric fluidized bed coal combustor for cogeneration gas turbine system for industrial cogeneration plants
The Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Coal Combustor Program will develop the technology for a fluidized bed coal combustion system to provide a source of high temperature air for process heating and power generation with gas turbines in industrial plants. The gas turbine has the advantages of a higher ratio of electric power output to exhaust heat load and a higher exhaust temperature than do steam turbines in cogeneration applications. The program is directed toward systems in the size range of 5 to 50 MW(e) and is sponsored by the Department of Energy. Conceptual design studies have been done for typical industrial installations, and some of these results are presented. The conceptual design of a 300 kW(e) test unit has been completed. A number of furnace design firms have been invited to submit their own designs for a 1500 kW(t) (5*10/sup 6/ Btu/hr) combustor, from which a final selection will be made. 7 refs.
