Abstract

Ash deposition on boiler surfaces is one of the major issues that need to be addressed for designing and operating co-combustion equipment. Characterization of the inorganic material of ash associated with co-firing of a range of Biomass-Coal blends under unstaged and air-staged of operation is presented. Mechanisms of slagging and fouling are described. An assessment of the predicted behaviour of slagging and fouling deposits for a range of Biomass-Coal blends co-firing under unstaged, air-staged and reburning configurations is presented, by using  fusibility correlations.
