Fluidized-bed firing

Reidick, H. EVT-Achlstroem Circulating Fluidized-Bed Firing System in Steam Generators, VDI-BER., 601, 203 (1986). [Pg.77]

FIOR Process. In the FIOR process, shown in Figure 5, sized iron ore fines (0.04—12 mm) are dried in a gas-fired rotary dryer. A skip hoist dehvers the dry fines to lock hoppers for pressurizing. The fines pass through four fluidized-bed reactors in series. Reactor 1 preheats the ore to 760°C in a nonreducing atmosphere. Reactors 2, 3, and 4 reduce the ore at 690—780°C. At higher (ca 810°C) temperatures there is a tendency for the beds to defluidize as a result of sticking or hogging of the reduced material. [Pg.430]

The common types of dryers are rotary, hearth, flash (spray), and fluidized beds (10). Hot gases are used invariably to remove moisture. The gas flow can be either cocurrent or countercurrent to the flow of soHds, the former tends to be more efficient. In the hearths, the gas flow is countercurrent as the soHds are raked down from one hearth to the next below. Flash dryers are very rapid because the soHds are exposed only briefly to the hot gases. Fluidized-bed dryers, which use hot gases to suspend the soHds, are rapid and efficient, but require elaborate dust coHection systems. These are preferred when fine soHds are involved, and are used commonly for drying fine coal. Indirect-fired dryers are used when the soHds are heat sensitive or combustible. [Pg.415]

SNR s fluidized-bed cogeneiation system is an early example of the commercial development of AFBC technology. Foster Wheeler designed, fabricated, and erected the coal-fired AFBC/boHer, which generates 6.6 MWe and 37 MW thermal (also denoted as MWt) of heat energy. The thermal energy is transferred via medium-pressure hot water to satisfy the heat demand of the tank farm. The unit bums 6.4 t/h of coal and uses a calcium to sulfur mole ratio of 3 to set the limestone feed rate. The spent bed material may be reiajected iato the bed as needed to maintain or build bed iaventory. The fly ash, collected ia two multicyclone mechanical collectors, may also be transferred pneumatically back to the combustor to iacrease the carbon bumup efficiency from 93%, without fly ash reiajection, to 98%. [Pg.260]

Sohd fuels are burned in a variety of systems, some of which are similar to those fired by Hquid fuels. In this article the most commonly burned soHd fuel, coal, is discussed. The main coal combustion technologies are fixed-bed, eg, stokers, for the largest particles pulverized-coal for the smallest particles and fluidized-bed for medium size particles (99,100) (see Coal). [Pg.526]

There are three basic modes of burning solid fuels, each identified with a furnace design specific for that mode in suspension, in a bed at rest on a grate (fuel-bed firing), or in a fluidized bed. Although many variations of these generic modes and furnace designs have been devised, the fundamental characteristics of equipment and procedure remain intact. They will be described briefly. [Pg.2383]

Boilers may be direct fired or indirect fired. Energy supply designs account for various combustion methods using fossil fuels, municipal waste, process residues, waste heat, and by-products. Special boiler combustion systems to reduce pollution or improve efficiency include fluidized-bed and combined cycle. [Pg.23]

Three different types of furnaces are generally in use for calcination. The shaft furnace is considered to be the most suited for calcining coarse limestone. Furnaces of the rotary kiln type are used for handling materials of mixed particle sizes and lumps which disintegrate during the process. Calcination can be carried out in a fluidized bed-reactor for materials of small and uniform particle size. These furnaces are usually fired with gas, oil or coke in some cases electric heating is resorted to. [Pg.348]
