Design, Construction, Operation and Evaluation of a Prototype Anthracite Culm Combustion Boiler Unit. Facility Test Plan: Startup and Shakedown, Parametric Studies and Long Term Operation

摘要

This proposed performance study is to be performed in the anthracite culm prototype boiler located at Paxinos, Pennsylvania. The boiler is designed to produce 23,400 lb/hr of steam of 200 psig. Effects of operating variables on combustion efficiency, sulfur retention, erosion and corrosion will be analyzed during the runs. The boiler will be operated to determine its technical, economic and environmental performance and to project the viability of it for commercial operation. After the initial testing, the boiler performance will be evaluated over the long term operation. (ERA citation 07:004967)
