Method For Reducing Nitrogen Oxide Emissions of a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Boiler and an Air Distribution System of a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Boiler

摘要

A method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions of a bubbling fluidized bed boiler burning biofuel and an air distribution system for a bubbling fluidized bed boiler biofuel. A fluidized bed is arranged in a lower part of a furnace of the boiler. The bed is fluidized by fluidizing gas that includes primary air. Fuel is fed to the fluidized bed, which dries and pyrolizes into pyrolysis gas including volatile matter of the fuel. The gas rises upwards in the furnace and burns. Secondary air is supplied above the fluidized bed from secondary air nozzles, and tertiary air is supplied above the secondary air nozzles. A part of primary air is supplied in connection with fuel feeding such that the fuel is forced substantially on the surface of the fluidized bed, thus pyrolizing entirely, and at least a part of the pyrolysis gases formed in the pyrolysis is burned by primary air such that the air coefficient in relation to the volatile matter of fuel in the pyrolysis gases is in the substoichiometric area.
