Although years of study and evaluation have been spent on the energy problem, only recently have preferred choices become more clearly defined. Atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC) is one of but a few choices that offers a promise to use high sulfur coal, in the near term, in an environmentally acceptable manner. Most of the research and development work on AFBC has been done in the past 20 years. It was first motivated by human concerns about the environment and subsequently heightened by the 1973 energy crisis. During these 20 years, significant progress has been made and many research results have been published. As the technology matured toward commercialization, engineers often had difficulty finding the required information that is scattered throughout extensive literature. Furthermore, while there is a need for quick access to the accumulated knowledge for those engaged in designing AFBC systems and subsystems, the need for such access is equally important to AFBC users, who must operate these new combustion systems. This Source Book is the result of an effort to satisfy those needs first perceived by the DOE Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) under whose sponsorship this Source Book was compiled. The book, in our view, is an example of one of the many ways the Federal Government can assist in the development of a new technology. The primary goal of the Source Book is to bring together relevant information on AFBC under one compilation and place it at the disposal of scientists and engineers engaged in the design and/or use of AFBC systems.
