A Study on the Co-Combustion Characteristics of Coal and Bio-SRF in CFBC
Bio-SRF based on livestock waste has low heating value and high moisture content. The concentration of toxic gases such as SOx, NOx, and HCl in the flue gas is changed according to the composition of fuel, and it has been reported. Therefore, the study of fuel combustion characteristics is necessary...

| description | Bio-SRF based on livestock waste has low heating value and high moisture content. The concentration of toxic gases such as SOx, NOx, and HCl in the flue gas is changed according to the composition of fuel, and it has been reported. Therefore, the study of fuel combustion characteristics is necessary. In this study, we investigated combustion characteristics on the blended firing of coal and Bio-SRF (bio-solid refused fuel) made from livestock waste fuel in CFBC (circulating fluidized bed combustor). The raw materials for manufacturing Bio-SRF include agricultural waste, herbaceous plants, waste wood, and vegetable residues. Bio-SRF, which is formed from organic sludge, has a low heating value and a high moisture content. Bio-SRF of livestock waste fuel is blended with different ratios of coal based on heating values when coal is completely combusted in CFBC. In the result of experiment, the combustor efficiency of calculated unburned carbon concentration in the fly ash shows 98.87%, 99.04%, 99.64%, and 99.71% when the multi co-combustion ratio of livestock waste fuel increased from 100/0 (coal/livestock waste) to 70/30 (coal/livestock waste). In addition, the boiler efficiency is shown to be 86.23%, 86.30%, 87.24% and 87.27%. Through the experimental results, we have identified that co-combustion of livestock waste fuel does not affect boiler efficiency. We have systematically investigated and discussed the temperature changes of the internal combustor, compositions of flue gases, solid ash characteristics, and the efficiency of combustion and of the boiler during co-combustion of coal and Bio-SRF. |
