The Growing Use of Fuel & Carbon Flexible Cfb Technology

Sumitomo+SHI+FW_Logo (main).jpg

Topics to be addressed include::

  • How CFB technology takes advantage of the global coal fuel arbitrage

  • The substantial reductions of CO2 emissions realized by co-firing biomass & utilizing domestic fuel supply chains

  • Proven CFB installations utilizing biomass co-firing over a wide range of capacities

    • 2,200 MWe Samcheok Green Power Project, Korea (Ultrasupercritical)

    • 460 MWe Lagisza Supercritical CFB Plant in Poland

    • 105 MWe Dangjin plant in Korea firing biomass and demo woods

    • 299 MWe Teesside Renewable Energy Plant in the UK firing 100% biomass

An important added benefit is CFB’s clean burning process which can avoid expensive air pollution control equipment. This allows CFB plants to reach levels of emissions, reliability, plant capital and operating cost well beyond today’s fleet of pulverized coal (PC) power plants. For consumers, this means reliable, clean power at the lowest possible cost. This free webinar can help you make an informed decision about the application of CFB technology in your power market and on your specific fuels.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • What is the combustion efficiency comparison between PC and CFB for bituminous coal?

  • Is the supercritical technology risk less in a CFB than a PC boiler?

  • What is the smallest supercritical CFB design currently being offered by SHIFW?

  • What are the in-furnace NOx and SO2 emission levels that can be achieved in CFB boilers without post-combustion SCR and FGD?

  • Is there any special consideration if we want to convert our conventional CFB boiler (lignite) into biomass?

  • What are the reasons for high NOx in CFB, and what is its relation to lime?

  • In the case of IPP, as you know, it's hardly possible for CFB using low-quality coal to get appropriate bankability from lenders these days. Is it technically and/or commercially possible to provide a USC 150 MW class CFB per unit to get smooth bankability?

  • What is the significance of high LOI in lime, and how does it affect the calcination process of the boiler?

  • How will you address the issue of bed ash cooler design in high-capacity CFBC boilers, maybe 600 MW and above, with high ash Indian coal around 40% ash?
