Coal combustor retrofits to gas- and oil-fired boilers

Journal Article · · Chem. Eng. (N.Y.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5395083
The Wormser Grate is an atmospheric pressure fluidized bed coal combustor designed to fire new or existing gas or oil-fired boilers of capacities from 10,000-100,000 lb/h of steam. The fluidized bed boiler produces 60% of the steam output, and the rest is produced by gas or oil firing. The Wormer Grate uses two separate, shallow fluidised beds: one for combustion and the other for desulphurization.
