Results of combustion of different waste fuel in fluidized bad

Abstract

The sustainable development of the national energy sector implies the rational use of energy resources, use of RES, and waste management with satisfying environmental regulations. A way to simultaneously fulfill the above objectives is the utilization of low-calorific and waste materials, applying the technology of fluidized bed combustion (FBC). This paper presents experimental results of combustion of number of solid and liquid wastes, conducted on two installations: industrial demonstration (capacity up to 100 kW) and experimental FB boiler (capacity up to 500 kW). The furnace temperature distribution, the composition of flue gas at the exit of furnace, and the other combustion parameters of the fuels are given. On the basis of these results, an evaluation of the waste fuels FB combustion and possibility of utilization of their energy potential is given.
