Full Load Operation

A method for prediction of sorbent consumption is presented here and has been developed based on plant operating data for a boiler in which several limestone and dolostone products were tested under similar firing conditions. The method considers the characteristic partitioning of calcium and sulfur between the flyash and bottom ash stream for the boiler, the feed particle size distribution of the sorbent, and petrographic properties of the sorbents. The predictions of sorbent usage were compared to plant operating data for five sorbents, of two distinct petrographic types. The plant operating data used featured full load operation. The five sorbents tested were all from Pennsylvania, and each contained greater than 40wt.% CaO. In four of the five cases, the predicted sorbent usage was within 10wt.% of the average full load sorbent usage by the boiler.

Fluidized Bed Combustor

In the present work a particle population balance model for a circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) is developed that allows a description of the fate of individual particles in terms of attrition and transport effects. Besides the operating conditions and the particle size distribution the residence time of particles in the system is considered in the modeling of abrasion and shrinking of particles. The model takes account of the fact that fresh particles have a higher attrition rate than particles which have stayed for some time already in the system. The model aims at the description of the dynamic adjustment of the particle size distributions in a given system. The model has been validated with experimental data from a pilot-plant combustor, i.e. a CFBC with an inner diameter of 0.1 m and a height of 15 m. A comparison between experimental and calculated data shows the applicability of the model.
