Coal-water-slurry evaluation. Volume 3. Burner test results. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6297857
This is the third of three volumes describing a multi-phase, coal-water slurry (CWS) test program. This volume summarizes the results of tests of a single, full-scale 15-million Btu/hr burner to be used in a multi-burner industrial boiler demonstration of CWS at a DuPont plant in Memphis, Tennessee. The burner was tested at the Babcock and Wilcox Company (B and W) Research Center in Alliance, Ohio. Data was taken and observations were made relative to the burner performance and firing stability of CWS as affected by the type of atomizing media (air versus steam), load variations, method of preheating combustion air (direct versus indirect), and excess air level. Base data was also obtained with No. 6 fuel oil. The burner performance was found to be acceptable. 10 figures, 3 tables.
