Production of energy from waste: fluidized bed combustion of low grade materials. Final report
An appraisal of the fluidized bed combustion process for recovering heat from waste materials indicated that the technique can accept fuels of lower calorific value than conventional combustion processes, fuels of variable quality and fuels with high sulfur content. High combustion efficiency is essential, and a review of factors influencing it in a fluidized bed was undertaken. The possibility of operating at temperatures higher than normally accepted for fluidized bed combustion is discussed. A survey of available and suitable waste materials in the UK is presented. The data collected during an experimental program have been used for a process outline design of a 10 MW (thermal) fluidized bed boiler. (Copyright (c) ECSC-EEC-EAEC, Brussels and Luxembourg, 1980.)
