Application of ultra-low NOx emission control for CFB boilers based on theoretical analysis and industrial practices

Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers face sever challenges in China due to the new ultra-low emission rules, more specifically, the NOx emission must be lower than 50 mg/m3. In this paper, NOx evolution inside CFB furnaces and the gas-solid flow characteristics were reviewed. It is found that NOx emission can be reduced through re-specification of fluidization state, namely, improving the bed quality. A low NOx emission (de-NOx) technology...
