Colorado-Ute's Nucla circulating AFBC demonstration project: Volume 2, Plant equipment and systems design: Final report
This is the second volume of two reports documenting the conversion, life extension and capacity upgrade of Colorado-Ute Electric Association's Nucla Station from stoker-firing to atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC). This particular report describes the plant equipment and system design for the first US utility size circulating AFBC boiler and its ancillary systems. The purpose of these reports is to share the information gathered during the Nucla circulating AFBC demonstration project and present it so that other utilities can evaluate the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness of replacing pulverized or stoker-fired boiler units with circulating fluidized-bed boiler units. To this end, each volume presents material concerning a different aspect of the Nucla circulating AFBC demonstration project. Volume 1 of this report (EPRI CS-5831) covers the project origin, rationale, organization, planning and financing, and circulating AFBC boiler design development. 8 figs., 12 tabs.
