Circulating fluid bed technology within Combustion Engineering Inc.
- Combustion Engineering Inc., Windsor, CT (United States)
As the worldwide trend for more flexible, cost-effective CFB technology continues as an alternative to pulverized coal and combined cycle steam generation, Combustion Engineering Inc. has drawn on original scientific work and the operating history of numerous BFBs and CFBs worldwide as reported in publicly available literature to introduce many product enhancements for its next generation of circulating fluid bed boilers. The issues of in-furnace surface versus external fluid bed heat exchanger applicability, cyclone and loop seal design, refractory system design and operating requirements, and the suitability of regenerative air heaters for CFB applications will be among the topics discussed in this paper as Combustion Engineering Inc. answers the challenge to continuously advance CFB steam generation.
