Title: Rivesville multicell fluidized-bed boiler. Annual technical progress report, July 1979-June 1980

Abstract

Design, construction and test program of a 300,000 lb/hr steam generating capacity multicell fluidized bed bouler (MFB), as a pollution free method of burning high-sulfur or highly corrosive coals, is being carried out. The concept involves burning fuels such as coal, in a fluidized bed of limestone particles that react with the sulfur compounds formed during combustion to reduce air pollution. Nitrogen oxide emissions are also reduced at the lower combustion temperatures. The CaSO/sub 4/ produced in the furnace is discharged with the ash or regenerated to CaO for reuse in the fluidized bed. This report presents information on continued operation of the Rivesville MFB steam generating plant in a commercial mode and for determining performance and emission characteristics; studies and tests on flyash characterization and reinjection, fuel feed educators and needles, air distributor, corrosion-erosion and sulfur capture; engineering studies to improve MFB performance and reliability.
