Abstract
Fluidized bed boilers use a firing technique where the fuel is burnt in a bed or suspension of hot, noncombustible granular solids. This type of firing process has proved successful in addressing some of the long-standing problems of fossil fuel boilers. As a result, the traditional market for conventional solid fuel firing techniques like stoker and pulverized fuel firing is being progressively taken over by fluidized bed boilers.
