Circulating fluidized bed combustor towards third generation of oxy fuel combustion

Abstract

Carbon capture and sequestration CCS is gaining popularity to mitigate the CO2 emission and greenhouse gases The oxy fuel circulating fluidized bed CFB combustion is one of the most promised techniques of CCS where CFB has advantages over the pulverized coal power combustors namely in situ SOx and NOx capture as well as fuel flexibility However significant drop in thermal efficiency with oxy fuel CFB combustion is reported in literature The research and developments are continuing to o
