K&A organized Clean Energy Seminar on Biomass CFB, Dry FGD & Modular WTE Plants

On October 25th 2021, K&A organized a seminar titled “Technology Options to Address India’s Changing Energy Needs: A Clean Energy Seminar on Biomass CFB, Dry FGD & Modular WTE Plants” at the ITC Maurya Hotel in New Delhi, India.


Many notable government officials, electric utilities, OEMs, EPCs, Power and Energy experts from the Indian Energy Industry attended the seminar. Some of them were Adani Group, Central Electricity Authority, Development Consultants Pvt Ltd, Engineers India Limited, HPCL-Mittal Energy Limited, IL&FS, ISGEC Heavy Engineering Limited, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., L&T-MHI Power Boilers Private Limited, Mahagenco, NLC INDIA LIMITED, NTPC, Rajasthan Rajya Vidhyut Utpann Nigam Limited, RattanIndia Power Limited and many more.

Important Topics to be Covered:

  • How SFW CFB technology can enhance fuel flexibility to enable Indian power plants to choose from a range of opportunity solid fuels & biomass?

  • How SFW CFBs provide a low-cost and low-risk carbon reduction strategy for Indian power generation sector?

  • Can CFBs operate efficiently as a CHP plant when burning a variable mix of low-rank fuels?

  • What are the CFB design & operating considerations when firing 100% biomass fuel?

  • Why CFB plants avoid expensive air pollution control equipment and save millions on plant capital and annual O&M costs?

  • What are the differences in pollutant capture performance between Wet FGD and CFBS technologies?

  • How do the CAPEX and OPEX compare between the technologies?

  • How big can CFBS systems get?

  • How does the water consumption for the CFB scrubber compare with that of a wet FGD?

  • What turn-down capability do you have with the CFB scrubber?

  • Will the CFB scrubbing technology work with an ESP instead of a baghouse?

  • How does the CFB scrubber footprint compare to that of a wFGD?

  • What is the experience range of fuels and plant sizes with CFBS technology?
