Suspension fired systems

Ptilverizers The pulverizer is the heart of any solid-fuel suspension-firing system. Air is used to dry the coal, transport it through the pulverizer, classify it, and transport it to the burner, where the transport air provides part of the air for combustion. The pulverizers themselves... 

It is practical to suspension over-fire a dutch oven or grate system with residues but characteristically higher emissions from suspension firing must be considered. The higher percentage (4-6 ) of low-melting ash in ag-residues poses special grate problems vis-a-vis wood at 1. ... 

Pneumatic conveying dryers have been developed for simultaneous pulverization and drying of bark or hog fuel, for instance. The resulting powder with a moisture content of 10%-15% can be used in a suspension-fired boiler or a limekiln in a pulp mill. In Figure 36.7, a bark dryer that delivers pulverized fuel to a limekiln is shown. Wet biomass is metered into the system via a rotary valve. It is conveyed by the flue gases, which in this case are delivered from a recovery boiler, up and down in two drying towers. Predrying of... 

How could anyone who makes a mistake of that magnitude be allowed to practice medicine We call such doctors incompetent , unethical and negligent . We want to see them punished. And so we ve wound up with the public system we have for dealing with error malpractice lawsuits, media scandal, suspensions, firings. 

In the direct-firing system the operating range of a pnlverizer is usually not more than 3 to 1 (without change in the number of burners in service) because the air velocities in lines and other parts of the system must be maintained above the minimum levels to keep the coals in suspension. Most boiler units are provided with more than one pulverizer, each feeding multiple burners. Load variations beyond 3 to 1 are accommodated by shutting down (or starting up) a pulverizer and the burners it supphes.
