Sulfur Control in Fluidized-Bed Combustors: Methodology for Predicting the Performance of Limestone and Dolomite Sorbents

摘要

The ANL methodology significantly simplifies predictions of sulfur capture in fluidized-bed coal combustors. This section summarizes how to use the methodology to make predictions. The details of the method development and supporting data are given in the later sections. In addition, comparisons between predicted sorbent performance and actual FBC plant data are shown to support the methodology. The method adequately describes the experimental results and thus can be used with some confidence to compare sorbent performance, provided, of course, that the limitations of the methodology are recognized.
