Industrial application of fluidized-bed combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, July-September 1980

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:6610345

The fluidized bed boiler plant is planned as an addition to the existing Georgetown University heating and cooling plant. The boiler is designed to operate at either 275 psig delivering steam directly to the header, or at 625 psig delivering steam to the 275 psig header through a pressure reducing station prior to the possible installation of a steam turbine to demonstrate cogeneration of electricity. The work reported concentrated on problems concerning startup and on operation. The operation of the boiler, instrumentation, coal and limestone handling systems, solids removal system, plant auxiliaries, ash removal, stack emissions, and maintenance are described, and plant performance data are given.
