OSTI ID:6388558
This EPRI-sponsored seminar was organized to review recent technical and market developments related to AFBC and PFBC steam generators suitable for utility applications. The focus of the seminar was on the operating experience gained at pilot and demonstration scale systems located around the world. The objective of the seminar was to assist electric utilities in planning, evaluating, building, and operating FBC power plants. The major topics discussed were: operating experience from industrial AFBC and FBC pilot plants; updates on the three AFBC demonstrations and other AFBC and PFBC commercial projects; examination of critical FBC components including tube wastage and hot gas cleanup; recent plant designs and economic assessments; AFBC design specifications and bid evaluations. Individual projects are processed separately for the data bases.
