Present status of fluidised-bed combustion
The worldwide interest in various fluidised-bed combustion systems is surveyed. The stage of development reached towards fully commercial boiler systems using fluidised-beds operating at atmospheric pressure for a range of applications from small shell boilers to power generating units is illustrated, using as specific examples projects based on NCB technology by UK boiler makers. Adaptation of the techniques to lowgrade fuels, tailings, waste incineration and crop drying has been demonstrated. Whilst commercial atmospheric boilers are likely to be operating in the next few years, the development of fluidised combustion at pressure waits on the demonstration by large test rigs that they can be successfully coupled with a gas turbine. Proposed rigs in the USA, Germany and the UK are described.
