Schmidt, C M

Regardless of type of boiler plant, the most significant element in operation is to start with the right type of coal...this point cannot be over-emphasized. Unless the impact of fuel upon the rest of the system is recognized, no matter how diligent the maintenance nor how sincere the desire to operate or design a plant, total disaster will occur unless fuel is matched with fuel burning equipment. The important characteristics of coal are: Coal Sizing; Ash Fusion Temperature; Free Swell Index (Coke Button); Amount of Ash; BTU/number; Amount of Volatile Matter; Friability.
