The atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustion of coal in the Netherlands, cleaner it can't be

The use of coal in atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustors for the generation of process steam is still a viable option for industrial applications world wide but interest in this as and electricity generation technology has also grown. The general advantages of AB-FBC are environmental acceptability and great fuel flexibility. As will be shown in this paper, it has a great potential for meeting possible future, even more stringent, regulations. Since 1979, Stork Boilers, TNO and Twente University have been carrying out a joint national research programme aimed at the design of industrial installations operating to stringent emission standards. This has led to the demonstration of a 90 MWth industrial boiler at the AKZO Chemical Works. The work has been under the control of NOVEM, the Netherlands Agency of Energy and the Environment. This body provides the financial resources on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs by awarding annual contracts.
