(Fluidized bed combustion of high-ash Indian coals): Foreign trip report, January 5, 1988--March 16, 1988
The foreign research assignment at BHEL, Trichy, was undertaken to participate in the ongoing USAID/BHEL joint program in fluidized bed combustion (FBC). As part of this program, an experimental FBC research test facility has been designed, erected and commissioned at BHEL, Trichy, to conduct experiments on the combustion of high-ash Indian coals and coal washery rejects. The data will be used to optimize the design and to select the operational parameters for large scale industrial and utility FBC boilers. ORNL has been providing technical assistance to BHEL since the initiation of the project in November 1983. The US team visited at 10 MW(e) FBC boiler fired with coal washery rejects at the Tata Iron and Steel Company (supplied by BHEL). The tour was very informative and gave the US team a good first-hand perspective of the Indian experience and concerns with FBC technology.
