Oxy-Fuel Combustion of Hard Coal, Wheat Straw, and Solid Recovered Fuel in a 200 kWth Calcium Looping CFB Calciner

The fluidized bed combustion (FBC) of biomass and solid recovered fuel (SRF) is globally emerging as a viable solution to achieve net-negative carbon emissions in the heat power sector. Contrary conventional fossil fuels, alternative fuels are highly heterogeneous, usually contain increased amounts alkaline metals chlorine. Hence, experimental studies mandatory order thoroughly characterize behavior pollutant formation non-conventional novel applications. This work gives an overview investigations on oxy-fuel hard coal, wheat straw, SRF with limestone semi-industrial circulating (CFB) pilot plant. CFB combustor was able be operated under different blending ratios inlet O2 concentrations, showing stable hydrodynamic over many hours continuous operation. boundary conditions introduced this study expected prevail capture storage (CCS) processes, such calciner Calcium Looping (CaL) cycle for post-combustion CO2 capture.
