The fifteen papers in this proceedings were given at a utility seminar on the subject of The Use of Coal in Oil-Design Utility Boilers. The seminar, held December 2, 3, and 4, 1980, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, was cosponsored by EPRI and the Florida Power and Light Co. Featured were detailed descriptions of the conversion from oil firing to coal firing at the Kwinana Power Station in Western Australia; other papers covered a broad range of related topics including: fundamentals of coal boiler design; effects of coal ash in oil-design boilers; review of recent utility experience with coal-oil mixture fuels; overview of the direct combustion of coal-water slurry; potential for cleaning coal to ash levels acceptable to oil boilers; and definition of emission-control requirements for boilers to satisfy emissions regulations if they were converted to coal. The audience at the seminar was comprised chiefly of utility representatives; papers were presented by experts from related industries, utility personnel, EPRI staff, and consulting firms. Fifteen papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
