COMBUSTION ATMOSPHERIQUE LIT FLUIDISE [7 records]

Record 1 2012-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Biomass Energy
  • Coal-Derived Fuels
DEF

A clean coal technology that uses pulverized coal mixed with limestone [and in which] limestone ... absorbs sulfur from the gases resulting from the combustion of the coal.

CONT

Atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) is a process that reduces sulfur emissions from coal-fired electric-generating plants. The residue from this process is a mixture of alkaline oxides, calcium sulfate, and coal ash constituent. ... The best and safest use of AFBC residue in agriculture was as a substitute for agricultural lime.

OBS

The process reduces approximately 90 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions and causes a moderate reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions.

OBS

The fluidized-bed design for PFBCs is basically the same as that for AFBCs, the essential difference being that the former operates at higher gas pressures than the latter.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Énergie de la biomasse
  • Combustibles dérivés des charbons
OBS

La différence entre le lit fluidisé sous pression et le lit fluidisé sous pression atmosphérique est simplement que la pression du premier est beaucoup plus élevée que la pression atmosphérique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
DEF

Fluidized-bed boiler operated at near atmospheric pressure in the combustor.

OBS

The fluidized-bed design for PFBCs is basically the same as that for AFBCs, the essential difference being that the former operates at higher gas pressures than the latter.

Record 5 1988-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
CONT

This suggests that, except possibly in the case of very deep bed, AFBC is not a suitable technology to burn this petroleum coke and it is necessary to use circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) technology.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Combustibles fossiles solides
CONT

Cela indique que, sauf peut-être dans le cas de lits très profonds, la combustion en lit fluidisé sous pression atmosphérique ne convient pas pour brûler ce coke de pétrole et qu'il est nécessaire d’utiliser la technique du lit fluidisé à circulation.

OBS

De nouveaux types de générateurs [...] apparaîtront sans doute dans l’industrie : lits fluidisés, lits circulants, mieux adaptés peut-être à la combustion de produits de plus en plus difficiles à brûler.

Record 6 1986-10-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Coal Gasification
CONT

Atmospheric Recirculating Fluidized Bed Combustion (ARFBC) is a second generation FBC technology with applications including the combustion of unreactive and high sulfur fuels, whereby rejects, wood wastes and solid fuels with a high percentage of fines can be utilized.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Gazéification des charbons
CONT

La combustion en lit fluidisé à pression atmosphérique, avec recirculation, est une technique de CLF de deuxième génération dont les applications comprennent la combustion de combustibles non réactifs à haute teneur en soufre, ce qui permet d’utiliser les rejets, les déchets de bois et les combustibles solides contenant un grand pourcentage de fines.
