Effect of coal quality on power plants: Proceedings
- ed.
A conference on Effects of Coal Quality on Power Plants was held on October 13--15, 1987 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference was sponsored by The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and hosted by the Georgia Power Company and Southern Company Services. Approximately 150 people participated in the conference. They represented domestic and foreign utilities, equipment vendors, research organizations, contractors and consultants. The objective of the conference was to review document and transfer technology on various aspects of coal quality and its effects on power plants. To meet these objectives, presentations and discussions were organized on the following topics: Coal Quality Problems---Slagging/Fouling; Coal Quality Problems---Abrasion/Erosion/Corrosion; Fundamental Research on Mineral Matter Transformation; Pilot Scale Combustion Testing; Coal Quality Impact Evaluations; and Utility Experience. Each topic was presented through a number of relevant papers and discussed in a separate conference session. Four working groups were organized on the second day of the conference for the attendees to discuss their problems, concerns and experiences and to recommend areas needing further research and development.
