Coal water mixture combustion in Multiannular Swirl Burner (MASB). Low Emission Combustor Technology Program. Draft

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6253248

The work described in this report is part of the DOE/METC Low Emission Combustor Technology Program to evaluate coal water mixture (CWM) in a low emission staged rich-lean combustor, the Multiannular Swirl Burner (MASB), for stationary combustion turbines. This Topical Report contains the results of the last set of combustion tests of this combustor with the fuels of coal water mixture (CWM) and methane. This set of tests includes the testing of the cooled deposition pin designed for ash deposition measurements and a particulate sampling probe. Preliminary collection of particulates and pin deposits was made. Combustion test results for CWM with a methane pilot show the high combustion efficiencies up to 88%. All test results including those reported earlier show that efficiencies up to 99.5% are obtained for CWM and methane mixture for this combustor. Results reported here indicate that CWM with only 50% solid loading is a marginal fuel at the heat release rates being attempted for this metal wall combustor and that a higher heat content fuel is required.
