By installing a circulating fluidized bed boiler rather than a conventional coal-fired boiler, the University of Missouri expects to save $500,000 a year in pollution control costs and $80,000 a year in coal costs. The new $6 million, 200,000 pound per hour boiler, manufactured by Riley Stoker Corp., Worcester, Mass., cost about $1 million more than a conventional stoker-fired boiler, and should pay for itself in combined coal and lime savings in less than two years, according to Bob Bibb, president of Bibb and Associates, Shawnee Mission, Kan., the engineering firm that aided university officials in evaluating bids for the project. As part of the project, two steam turbines will be connected: one 19.5 MW unit to the new boiler and a 14.5 MW unit to an existing boiler. The turbine on the existing boiler will be used for backup power when the first turbine is inoperative.
