Abstract [en]

Waste combustion for power production is associated with many problems due to the composition and inhomogeneity of the fuel stream. A reduction of alkaline and chlorine products in the superheater region should ease these problems significantly. Ashes and deposits from different combustion tests in a commercial 20 MW th bubbling fluidised bed (BFB) boiler were characterised by XRD and SEM-EDX. The fuel combusted was a mix of sorted municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste, often referred to as RDF (refuse derived duel). These waste fuels often contain more alkali and chlorine than does biomass and are therefore considered risky fuels prone to causing bed agglomeration, deposit formation, and corrosion. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a lowered bed temperature could change alkali and chlorine distribution in the boiler to reduce corrosion and deposit formation. The boiler used was designed for a bed temperature in the range of 850-900 C, which in this investigation was decreased by approximately 150 C. Data were collected through deposit measurements and solid sampling. The lowered bed temperature resulted in reduced demand for fresh sand, decreased agglomeration, and reduced rates of deposit formation.
