Topics presented in the webinar will include:

  • The rationale for a multifuel CHP plant

  • The multifuel CFB boiler design criteria resulting from the assumed multifuel CHP plant concept

  • The multifuel CFB boiler plant concept

  • A side-by-side investment risk comparison of a multi-fuel CHP plant vs. a traditional municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerator

  • Market outlook for the multifuel CHP plants

In this informative webinar, Grzegorz Szastok, Deputy Managing Director for Amec Foster Wheeler Energia Polska, will present the concept of a multifuel CHP plant, with the multifuel CFB boiler being the cornerstone of the plant concept.  

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • What is the capacity range of the multifuel CHP plants?

  • What is the maximum RDF share in the fuel mix?

  • You mention waste fuels as part of the fuel mix, including RDF. To what extent does the fuel need preparation to allow firing in the CFB? Particularly removal of metals and inerts.

  • Does Amec Foster Wheeler have boilers that will cater to direct MSW incineration?

  • What is the minimum moisture content in the feed that the boiler can fire without any supplementary fuel?

  • How are you handling the chlorine corrosion in your design?

  • If you compare the future envisaged maintenance and sustainable CAPEX cost with the same boiler for coal only, how would they differ? How often do you expect the superheater will have to be changed?

  • What would be the approximate boiler efficiency for this multifuel CHP in comparison to conventional CFBC?

  • Why are three fuels considered for this boiler? Is it a fuel availability issue?

  • What is the range of heating value of the coal?
