Norton, R. C.

The conceptual design of a commercial size (560 MW), complete power generating station incorporating an atmospheric fluidized-bed boiler was developed for two parallel cases presenting the boiler designs of two major boiler manufacturers. These were preceded by the presentation of the basis for comparison, which was also a 560 MW unit, that incorporated a conventional pulverizer coal suspension fired boiler with associated facilities including, particularly, a wet limestone flue gas scrubber. This report accounts for the completion progress of the individual tasks that constituted the project. All of the deliverable material items were issued by the end of the contract. They, rather than this report, contain the technical substance of the work.
