Pressurized fluidized-bed combustion (PFBC) is widely considered the most promising of the advanced fossil power generation technologies. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is conducting an engineering and economic study of various PFBC designs. The first part of the study examined ABB-Carbon`s bubbling PFBC technology. The second part, reported in this paper, examined the circulating PFBC design of Ahlstrom Pyropower, Inc. Later studies will include Foster Wheeler`s advanced PFBC power plant technology and Lurgi-Lentjes-Babcock`s circulating PFBC design.
