Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers (CFB)

SHARE

Over the past two decades, CFB technology has demonstrated its ability to efficiently utilize a wide variety of fuels while still meeting stringent stack emission limits.

Most popular related searches
Efficient combustion and fuel flexibility
A wide range of fuels can be burned efficiently, including low-grade and difficult-to-burn fuels such as anthracite, lignite, petroleum coke, oil shale, discarded coal, and biomass within a wide range of mixing rates
Low inherent NOx emissions at 50-200 mg/Nm3
Relatively low and uniform furnace temperatures of approximately 850°C to 900°C.

Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems can be added, leading to even lower NOx emissions.
Low SO2 emissions with 95-98%sulfur removal
Injection of prepared and dried limestone in the furnace.

Dry scrubber NID* achieving 98% sulfur removal while reducing limestone consumption.

Just-In-Time (JIT*) system for limestone drying and crushing available for direct limestone feeding.
