Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method is provided to prevent corrosion of utility boiler side walls and generally to reduce the rate of side wall corrosion of a coal-fired utility boiler. CONSTITUTION: A method of reducing the rate of side wall corrosion in a coal-fired utility boiler while maintaining reduced NOx emission levels, the coal-fired utility boiler comprising a plurality of walls interconnected to form an enclosure, wherein at least one of the walls includes a plurality of burners for introducing a mixture of pulverized coal and primary air into the boiler, the coal-fired utility boiler additionally comprising at least one overfire air port for introducing overfire air into the boiler; the method comprising: providing a plurality of curtain air ports in at least one of the walls; injecting a stream of pulverized coal and a sub-stoichiometric amount of primary air into the boiler through the burners; combusting the stream of pulverized coal and primary air in the boiler; introducing overfire air into the boiler through the at least one overfire air port, wherein the overfire air comprises between about 5% and about 20% of the total air provided to the boiler; introducing curtain air into the boiler through the curtain air ports, wherein the curtain air comprises between about 5% and about 20% of the total air provided to the boiler; and balancing the flow of air through the overfire air port(s) and the curtain air ports such that the ratio of curtain air to overfire air is small enough to maintain combustion staging and assure NOx emission levels of less than about 0.50 lbs. per 10¬6 Btu, yet is large enough to maintain a fuel mixture ratio of less than about 115% of the stoichiometric ratio in the atmosphere adjacent to the walls.

Abstract:
An arrangement and method in a boiler using fluidized-bed technology. The arrangement comprises a first space (1) of a furnace that comprises means for forming a fluidized bed (21), a second space of the furnace that does not comprise means for forming a fluidized bed, means for feeding fuel into the first space (1) of the furnace, a partition wall (3) that is at least mainly vertical and arranged between said spaces (1, 2) of the furnace to separate them from each other, the arrangement further comprising a roof structure (5) arranged above the first space of the furnace to separate the first space (1) of the furnace from parts of the second space (2) above it, the first space (1) of the furnace being connected to the second space (2) through a flow path (18), which flow path (18) is arranged on the side of the first space (1) of the furnace to lead gases (G) rising from the fluidized bed to the second space (2) of the furnace.
Abstract:
A method for reducing the rate of side wall corrosion in a coal-fired utility boiler (10). A plurality of side wall slots (18) are provided in the side walls (14) of the boiler (10) so that a protective layer of air (22) may be introduced through the slots (18) and propelled upward by the updraft from the burners (16).
Abstract:
A method of combustion and an apparatus therefor in which separate streams of very lean and very rich fuel/oxidant mixture are combusted separately, the products of combustion therefrom being thoroughly mixed before final combustion takes place. The lean/rich primary combustion minimises combustion temperatures and pollutant formation, whilst the final combustion is substantially stoichiometric.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for recovering sensible heat from a hot exhaust gas having an oxygen concentration of less than 21 vol% in a fuel-air fired combustion device. An oxidant stream comprising a gas having an oxygen concentration of greater than 21 vol% is introduced into the combustion process to form an oxidant mixture comprising the hot exhaust gas, the oxidant and any air present, the mixture having an average combined oxygen concentration of less than 21 vol%.
Abstract:
Eine Brennkammer mit zweistufiger Verbrennung weist Primärbrenner (110) der Vormischbauart auf, bei denen innerhalb eines Vormischraumes (130) der über Düsen (117) eingespritzte Brennstoff vorgängig der Zündung mit der Brennluft intensiv vermischt wird. Die Primärbrenner sind flammenstabilisierend ausgebildet, d.h. ohne mechanischen Flammenhalter. Sie sind mit tangentialer Einströmung der Brennluft in den Vormischraum (130) versehen. Stromabwärts einer Vorbrennkammer (61) sind Sekundärbrenner (150) angeordnet, die als nicht selbstgängige Vormischbrenner ausgebildet sind.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing NOx emissions from the combustion of carbonaceous fuels using three stages of oxidation and second stage in-situ furnace flue gas recirculation. In the first stage, a partial oxidation combustor is used to partially combust the fuel in the presence of heated combustion air. The fuel gas produced in the partial oxidation process is passed to a second stage partial oxidation combustor while molten slag is removed and disposed of. A second preheated combustion air is introduced into the second stage combustor to produce a reducing flue gas and is injected into the furnace in such a way as to create the desired in-situ furnace flue gas recirculation. A third combustion air is mixed with the flue gas in a third stage of combustion to substantially complete the combustion process. Preheated steam may be added to the first or second stages of combustion.
