Circulating Bed Boiler System of Biomass Combustion | Energy Management

The schematic diagram of a circulating bed boiler system is shown in Fig. 6.4. The combustion of biomass in a fluidised bed requires that the bed be initially heated by means of a gas burner to a temperature of approximately 400°C. The gas burner is then shut off and biomass feed is started. The fuel ignites and from then on [...]
