Coal Fired CFB Boiler has developed rapidly in China due to its superior fuel adaptability and good running performance. As national energy-saving indicator and environmental emission standard become more stringent, the thermal performance and environmental emission indicator of some current Coal CFB boiler failed to meet relevant requirement. This paper takes a 75t/h circulating fluidized bed boiler as an example to analyze the relevant transformation technology and effect.

I. Transformation Background

Original steam boiler technical parameter

  • Model: TG-75/5.29-M
  • Date of initial operation: Jan. 1995
  • Main design parameters:

Capacity            75t/h

Rated steam temperature   450C

Rated steam pressure      5.29MPa

Flue gas temperature       150C

Feed water temperature     150C

Design fuel                soft coal

Efficiency                  87.2%

The coal fired CFB boiler was used for power generation in a tire factory. It has been running for about 140,000 hours since initial operation. Due to the change in production scale and process, the output parameter was reduced. Process steam pressure is 3.0-3.3 MPa and temperature is 400-420C; the load is only 50~60t/h.

Technology Transformation for A Coal Fired CFB Boiler

II. Transformation Solution

In combination with the user status and process requirement, we decide to make some optimization over the Coal Fired CFB Boiler. After transformation, the CFB boiler is mainly composed of drum, suspended membrane wall furnace, cyclone separator, refeeder and shaft convection heating surface. The drum and cyclone separator are placed on the steel frame; furnace is suspended; high temperature superheater is suspended above the shaft flue duct; low temperature superheater and economizer are supported on the bearing beam; air preheater is supported on the steel frame. The furnace expands downward.

The coal fired CFB boiler parameter after transformation is as follows:

Model                       DHX60-3.5/450-M

Capacity                     60t/h

Rated steam pressure               3.5MPa

Rated steam temperature            450C

Feed water temperature             105C

Flue gas temperature               135C

Primary air temperature             143C

Secondary air temperature          143C

Design efficiency                   88.87%

Blow down efficiency                ≤2%

Excess air coefficient at flue gas outlet 1.38

Safe and stable operating range      30%-100%

Structure: medium temperature and low pressure, single drum, natural circulation.
