CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED STEAM BOILER (DESIGNED TO HANDLE AND BURN SCREENING COAL)

Objective

The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the clean and convenient handling of screenings coal and its successful combustion in a circulating fluidized bed with and output of 10 mw, with stack emissions eithin the british clean air act, i.E. The clean air/emissions of grit and dust from furnances regulation, 1971, nr.162.

As a secondary phase, the handling and burning of peat over a one week period will be demonstrated.

The project will be continually monitored during the construction phase and for a period of 6 months after.

The investment and saving estimates are based on:

- 10 000 tonnes of babyfood
- 7 500 tonnes of white cheddar cheese.

The major equipment of the project has the following specification:

Boiler rating 10 mw

Economiser heat extraction at m.C.R. 0.7 mw

Forced draught fans (3 off) 50 kw each

Induced draught fan (1 off) 30 kw

Coal storage silo 200 t

Silo filling rate 20 t/hour

Coal hoppers 6 t/hour

Hopper filling rate 5 t/hour

Ash storage silo 20 t

Bed material make-up hopper 150 kg

Air compressor output 0.43 m3/s

Air receiver capacity 3 m3

Exhaust gas temperature to chimney 180 c

Chimney efflux velocity 12 m/s

Boiler feed pump 15 kw

Planatory extractor 5 t/hour

Coal feed rate 1.75 t/hour.
