This paper focuses on the development and testing of a large scale (80 MMBTU/Hr) burner for coal-water slurry. The development path included atomizer and burner register performance evaluations in a non-combustion environment. This was followed by extensive combustion testing. The program was successful in developing a burner for coal-water slurry which would permit ignition in a cold furnace, operate stably over a 4 to 1 turndown range, employ atomizing conditions (pressure and flow) similar to oil, and produce carbon conversion efficiency comparable to oil.
