The Lakeland McIntosh Unit 4 demonstration project utilizing Foster Wheeler's pressurized circulating fluidized-bed combustion technology

摘要

The City of Lakeland, Florida, Foster Wheeler and the Westinghouse Electric Corporation have embarked on the demonstration of a Clean Coal Technology at the City of Lakeland's McIntosh Power Station in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. The projectwill demonstrate the Pressurized Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (PCFB) technology developed by Foster Wheeler and Westinghouse.The Lakeland Mcintosh Unit 4 Project is a nominal 170MW power plant designed to burn a range of low- to high-sulfiir coals. The combined cycle plant employs a Westinghouse 251B12 gas turbine engine in conjunction with a steam turbine operating in a2400/1000/1000 steam cycle. The plant will demonstrate both the "PCFB" and "topped PCFB" combustion technologies.This paper provides a process description of the Foster Wheeler PCFB and Topped PCFB technologies and their application to the Lakeland McIntosh Unit 4 Project.
