Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers Advantages

Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) combustion boilers gives the flexibility for combustion of a wide range of coals and alternative fuel sources. All this without compromising efficiency and with reduced emissions. The advantages of the CFB boiler over the conventional boiler systems are explained in this article.The most important advantage of the CFB is the flexibility of firing a wide range of coal from 9500 to 25000 kJ/kg. CFB’s can also burn a limitless number of other types of solid fuels, separately or mixed with coal. The limitations if any are only in the feeding and other mechanical equipment. The output capacity and steam parameters depend on the heating value of the fuel.
