Types of Firing
Stoker/Grate Firing: Suitable for relatively small
boilers (Steam Generation <65 tons/hr).
Burner Firing: Can be oil, gas or coal (in pulverized
form) firing.
Cyclone Furnace Firing:
Fluidized Bed Firing: Suitable for low grade solid
fuels.
Stoker Fired Boiler

Combustion
Efficiency Low
Coal lumps are fired.
Problem associated
with oxygen diffusion.
Chance of incomplete
combustion and
unburnt fuel loss is
high.

High heat release rate

Water cooled surfaces are studded
and covered with refractory chrome
ore.
Crushed coal used (95% will pass
through a 4-mesh screen)
Primary air is about 20% of the
combustion air
Secondary air velocity around 300
ft/s.
The incoming coal particles are
thrown to the walls by centrifugal
force, held in the slag and
scrubbed by the high velocity
tangential secondary air.
Very high heat loss through molten
slag
Fluidized Bed Combustion

CD Ac f (vf2/2) = Vs s g
CD is the drag coefficient
Ac is the cross sectional area of the particle
f is the fluid density, vf is the fluid velocity
Vs is the volume of the particle
s is the density of the particle
W
For spherical particles

vf = [(8/3CD)(s/f)(rg)]
r is the radius of the particle

Fluidized Bed Boiler

Desulphurization is accomplished by the addition of limestone
directly to the bed together with the crushed coal. Limestone
absorbs sulphur dioxide with the help of oxygen from the excess air.
CaCO3 + SO2 + (1/2)O2 CaSO4 + CO2

The calcium sulphate produced in this process is a dry waste product
that is either regenerated or disposed off. Reductions in sulphur
dioxide up to 90% have been achieved in fluidized bed pilot plants.
Fluidized Bed Boiler: Advantages

Low combustion temperatures
Allows inferior grades of coal to be used without slagging problems.
The carbon and ash carryover in the flue gas does not reach
temperatures at which they become soft and foul heat transfer surfaces.
The low temperature combustion results in substantial reduction in the
emission of oxides of nitrogen.
Cheaper alloy materials may be used resulting in economy of
construction.
Absence of pulverization equipment, resulting in further economy through
power savings.
A fluidized bed combustor can be designed to incorporate the boiler within
the bed, resulting in surface heat transfer rates that are 2 to 3 times
higher than a conventional boiler. A fluidized bed steam generator is
therefore much more compact than a conventional one of same capacity.
Reduction in sulphur dioxide: lower stack temperature can be achieved
because less acid is formed as a result of the condensation of water
vapour.
