1 the possibility of more efficient de-sox and De-NOx in CFB boiler furnace Yue Guangxi Thermal Engineering Department Tsinghua University Beijing China

2 The development Low bed inventory CFB KPa bed inventory needs higher pressure head of draft fan. The average auxiliary power of CFB is 2-3% higher than PC combustion. 2 Coarse particle splashing causes serious erosion at inter-section between bottom refractory line and vertical water wall. This erosion has big impact on the availability of boiler operation. Ash transportation.217% Transformer 1.293% Compressor.867% SA fan.96% PA fan 2.22% Limestone crusher.19% Pump 1.373% ID fan 1.529% Auxiliary power total 8.33% Coal crusher.77% Approach: decreasing the overall bed inventory.

3 Possibility to decrease the bed inventory Bed particles can be distinguished as large un-entrained and small entrained particles. The former one composing dense bed at bottom and later one composing fast bed at upper part of furnace. The margin of bed inventory: The inventory of fine particle should be more than a limitation that creates circulating rate larger than Rmin. The bed inventory of coarse particles should guarantee enough resident time for large coal particle burn out. Chemical engineer and thermal engineer have different philosophy to deal with bed inventory. 炉膛高度, m 二次风 总悬浮浓度,kg /m 3 粗颗粒浓度,kg /m 3 As h cir cu lat in g ra te, G s, kg /( m 2 s) = Commend A ed B C D E F G H I + So Haft rd co coal al 细颗粒浓度,kg /m 3 5 Limits for erosion protection 8 1 Fluidized velocity, u f, m/s

9 The impact of bed quality on the De-NOx and De-SOx in CFB As bed quality improved: 1.Combustion in dense bed becomes more reducing- NOx SOx 2. Combustion in freeboard tends more reducing- NOx SOx 3.The utilization of limestone particle improved- SOx The overall effect of bed quality improvement looks like positive for emission control.

The utilization of limestone fines was improved dramatically. It is possible to meet the new emission standard for CFB without SCR, FGD.
