Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion

Abstract

The use of liquid fuels for fluidized bed (FB) combustion is gaining importance for co-firing, waste incineration, switch to renewable energy sources or during plant start-up.

The design of a suitable liquid injection system is a key requirement to ensure that all of heat is released within the bed of a bubbling fluidized combustor or the riser of a circulating system.

The scientific literature has revealed around 100 papers dealing with FB combustion of liquid fuels since the pioneering work in 1975. This paper conveys an effort to review the relevant aspects of FB combustion of liquid fuels, with the exclusion of mixtures of solid fuels in liquids, which were left out of this work. Following a logical path that goes from early investigations toward a more sound knowledge, it is organized in four sections: Fuels, Fuel Feeding, Combustion Results and Emissions. The Conclusions summarize the main aspects and draw prospective for future research and application of liquid fuel FB combustion.
