The author describes a fluidised-bed boiler that has been designed by FluiDyne Engineering Corp. for the combustion of anthracite culm, a material containing about 40% ash and consisting of coal particles embedded in mineral matter. There are some 900 million tons of anthracite culm in northeast Pennsylvania within easy reach of many large metropolitan areas. It is estimated that the material can be used economically within a distance of 200 miles.
