tlooto Summary

CFB boiler operation for oxygen-enhanced dried lignite combustion reduces emissions of CO and NOx with optimal oxygen content below 60%.

Abstract

The paper presents the research of CFB boiler operation for oxygen-enhanced dried lignite combustion. The combustion in oxygen-enhanced conditions generally leads to reducing the emissions of CO and NOx and N2O due to reduced volume of flue gas. The maximum oxygen content for oxygen-enhanced combustion in O2/N2 conditions should not exceed 60%, however, the maximum drying extent of fuel should not be higher than 50% of the initial moisture content in an examined lignite.
