Objective
In the framework of the project a bubbling FBC (Fluidised Bed Combustion) with an output of 3,5 MWth for the combustion of biomass and waste is proposed. Comprehensive preliminary tests carried out at the University of Magdeburg have revealed that biomass, also mixed with other fuels, can be efficiently incinerated by fluidised bed combustion.
Large scale coal fired FBC cogeneration plants have been operated successfully for a number of years. Small scale plants are less widely spread and none have yet been laid out for biomass combustion in the EU.
Adapting FBC to bio-fuels is characterised by the high content of volatile matters. This task will have to be solved with respect to well-balanced heat in the bed by simultaneously keeping to all emissions regulations. This task shall be demonstrated by realising the proposed plant at high technical standard.
The plant will then serve as reference for further biomass FBC plants.
The final economic evaluations showed that the plant could not be operated cost - effectively on this site in the medium-run. The consumer structure and thus the heat demand has changed drastically since initial planning of the plant. It has become impossible to obtain the required number of full - load operating hours in order for the plant to be economically viable. Thus a decision had to made on modifying the project.
It is possible to transfer the project to a site about 5 km away. Here the economic conditions are far better as components of an existing plants can be use and a steam turbine for power generation exists. the CFB-boiler can generate ca. 66000 MWhth/y enabling ca. 10000 MWhel/y electricity to be generated.
Presently a new technical description is being drawn-up as basis for annex 1 to the existing EU contract.
On approval of the Commission it is possible to commence realising the project
