The characterization of solid residues from PFBC boilers

摘要

PFBC is one of the two important advanced fossil fuel technologies, now available. It permits the combustion of fossil fuels with extremely low emissions, while also achieving high electrical conversion efficiencies. However, relatively little is known about the ash characteristics, despite the existence of several demonstration units. This study looks at bed and cyclone ash from two of these boilers, the Spanish PFBC plant at Escatron in Spain, and the Tidd plant in Brilliant, Ohio.
