HIGH SULPHUR LIGNITE IN CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED BOILER

Objective

Combustion of 4-5 % sulphur coal within tight emission limits (rate of sulphur removal better than 90 %) without limestone addition by using a high limestone-rich ash content coal in a circulating fluid bed combustor. The boiler (65 t/h of steam - 52,5 MW) will be connected with a district heating network providing steam to factories and residential buildings.

Main design features: thermal output 52,5 MW
Inside combustion chamber height: 19 m
Inside combustion chamber cross-section: 17 m2
Fluidizing velocity: up to 7 m/s
Fuel: unwashed 0-20 mm coal, ash content: 30 %
Primary air supplied by a 410 KW fan
Secondary air supplied by a 160 KW fan, and introduced at 2 different levels.
Start up fuel oil system
Recycling of part of the flue gas
Gas cleaning by electrostatic filter
Ash removal by pneumatic conveying system.
