Fuel changes and how to mitigate them in CFB boilers

  • Different fuel properties and different boiler concepts

    • CFB air systems and grid performance

    • Boiler auxiliary equipment differences in bio and coal CFB’s

  • Lower Furnace tube erosion mitigation using resistant coatings

    • Erosion basics

    • Coating families, the pros and cons

    • Sumitomo SHI FW’s current approach

This informative webinar will cover best practices in maintenance & engineering in focused areas of services for solid fuel boilers (PC, CFB, BFB, stoker, etc.) and help energy facilities make informed decisions about the necessary preventive measures to improve reliability, availability, and extend boiler life.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • Do you shop construct the INTREX heat exchanger parts, or is that done in the field?

  • Which represents the more widely applied protection mechanism: mechanical or metallurgical bonding?

  • For metallurgically bonded coatings, do we have to ship the pressure parts to a shop, or can we conduct it in the field?

  • How do you improve the reliability of axial flow fans, including their hydraulic system?

  • How do you apply the metallurgical bonded arc welding? Can it be used to build up eroded tubes instead of replacing the tube?

  • How do you address the erosion in the burner panel tubes in a tangentially fired PF boiler, caused by the ash in the secondary air that comes from the air heater leakage?

  • What will be the best type of grid for the CFB boiler using 8-10mm size coal?

  • What is the best spray application to protect ASTM A53 furnace tubes for CFBC boilers, and what is the maximum permitted velocity speed for flue gases?

  • Do you have experiences with the Scott-Lowes effect on boiler tubes?
