Combustion Test of SRC-Oil Mixture Technical Study on SOM Fuel for Oil-Fired Power Plant

摘要

SRC (Solvent Refined Coal) was chosen as one of the efficient substances for coal utilization. Properties, combustion characteristics, and flue gas properties of SOM (SRC-Oil Mixture) fuel have been investigated for applicability to power generation.nThe present report summarizes results of the investigation and discusses the conversion of heavy fuel oil to SOM fuel at the existing heavy-fuel oil-fired power plants.nWith respect to fuel conversion, combustion characteristics of SOM fuel are similar to those of heavy fuel oil;therefore, the boiler itself can be used for SOM fuel. It is, however, necessary to reinforce pollution control facilities to correspond to emission standards as well as facilities for storage and transportation of SOM fuel with high concentration slurry.
