Summary
In recent years the fluidized bed combustion process has attracted a great deal of interest because of its ability to reduce undesirable sulfur emissions resulting from the burning of sulfur bearing fuels. Considerable effort has been expended to develop fundamental fluidized bed combustion data, but little effort was made to apply the data to engineering developments and studies. To overcome this deficiency, TVA together with ERDA, now DOE, commissioned B and W to perform the engineering studies required to develop the preliminary design of a 200 MW atmospheric pressure fluidized bed utility boiler. More specifically, B and W investigated different boiler cycle arrangements and various bed operating velocities to establish a single design which would be pursued in greater detail. Further, as a result of the engineering studies, estimates of capital and operating costs were made, predictions of system operability were prepared and areas requiring additional research and development were identified. In addition, it was shown how the resulting demonstration unit could be extrapolated to a commercial utility size (800 MW) and an assessment was made of the environmental impact of large fluid bed fired utility boiler systems. The results of thirteen months of engineering development studies are summarized.
