In this informative webinar, Robert Giglio, Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development for Amec Foster Wheeler, will describe the design features, technical, and economic benefits of Amec Foster Wheeler’s CFB technology compared to conventional PC boiler technology. Highlights will include:

  • How CFB provides high reliability, low maintenance, and cost effectiveness

  • An updated review of some of the largest and most advanced CFB plants worldwide

  • Specific examples discussed will include:

    • The Tauron 460 MWe supercritical CFB in Lagisza, power plant in, Poland successfully running since 2009

    • The 2200 MWe ultra-supercritical CFB plant, coming on line in Samcheok, South Korea

  • CFB value points vs PC boilers showing cost savings due to fuel flexibility, avoiding SCR NOx and post-boiler FGD, and the capability of co-firing biomass fuels

  • Ability to enhance plant competitiveness by taking full advantage of global fuel arbitrage potential enabled by CFB

This webinar can help you make informed decisions about boiler selection options and considerations for new coal fired power plants.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • How is NOx removed in the CFB process, considering it is claimed that SCR is not needed?

  • What is the maximum capacity of operating plants with CFB for coal, lignite, and biomass?

  • Do you have any operating experience with typical Indian coal having around 45% ash, 0.3% sulfur, 6% moisture, and HHV of around 2800 kcal/kg?

  • How does ash by-product differ between CFB and PC boilers? How is it collected? Can it be sold?

  • What is the typical DSA inlet temperature, and what is the outlet temperature?
