An experimental facility to investigate co firing requires handling pulverised coal and biomass fuels to deliver them to a well instrumented experimental burner in a precise and flexible manner A system based on loss in weight mass flow metering has been successfully used to deliver continuously a wide range of flows of diverse fuels with

Volumetric feeders Gravimetric type feeders Mills Pulverised fuel firing is a method whereby the crushed coal generally reduced to fineness such that 70 80% passes through a 200 mesh sieve is carried forward by air through pipes directly to burners or storage bins from where it is passed to burners When discharged into combustion chamber
5 In response to such situation Mitsubishi Power has developed high efficiency 100% biomass firing power generation system by applying the biomass pulverization/ combustion/ ash deposition prevention technology which is based on 112 MW class coal and biomass co firing power plants experiences in Japan and biomass firing experiences in which our
Systems of Pulverised Fuel Coal Firing Pulverised Fuel Handling Systems Following are the systems of pulverised coal firing Unit system or direct system; Central system or bin system 1 Unit System In this system the raw coal from the bunker is supplied to the feeder as shown in the figure Hot air is passed by the feeder to dry the coal
9 FIRING SYSTEM The firing system is mainly classified into two types 1 Hand firing 2 Stoker firing Hand firing • This is the simplest method of fuel firing The combustion efficiency is very low when compared to others • Due to lower combustion efficiency it cannot be used in Modern power plants
of labour call for a closer look at firing system design The suggestion is made that pulverised coal firing allied with pneumatic firing of bagasse may prove an attractive alternative to the sugar industry Historical dote Pulverised firing is not new The first pulverised coal fired power station in this country was Congella built in the late
b To stabilise the coal flame at low boiler/burner loads c As a safe start up fuel and for controlled heat input during light off The types of oil used in the oil burners are a Light Diesel Oil b Heavy fuel oil 78 Firing Syst e m s This can be broadly classified into direct firing system and indirect firing or intermediate bunker system
However in case of boilers with gaseous fuel firing liquid fuel firing and pulverised fuel firing such an incident of even momentary stoppage of fuel input to the furnace is likely to cause loss of flame in the furnace and restart of input of the fuel can result in formation of unburnt explosive mixture of fuel and oxygen
Modern coal fired central generating plant makes use of a pulverized fuel PF firing system This technology is by far the most common for burning coal on a large scale basis and has been around for about 70 years Boilers up over 1200 MWe have been built burning something like 400 500 t per hour of coal
The study suggests that co firing Bosnian coals with woody sawdust and Miscanthus shows promise at higher co firing ratios for pulverized combustion giving some directions for further works in co
pulverised fuel firing there is no difficulty in work Each system has its own peculiar methods of performing these operations some systems being more suited to certain conditions than
Typical firing systems for solid liquid and gaseous fuel are circular corner firing and wall firing opposed firing and front wall firing Circular corner firing mainly uses parallel flow and wall firing mainly use concentric flow with swirl motion The important point for circular firing is optimization of a large vortex flame as well as
Pulverised fuel PF is coal or sometimes hard pitch obtained from the distillation of coal tars which has been ground into small particles A good grade of PF should have particles of not greater than 1/200″ mm and between 75% and 85% should

Pulverised fuel PF technology is widely used for large coal fired power plants In such systems the fuel particles are injected pneumatically at high velocity the primary air is used as a carrier through a burner nozzle into the furnace Fig
20 Fineness is an indicator of the quality of the pulverizer action Specifically fineness is a measurement of the percentage of a coal sample that passes through a set of test sieves usually designated at 50 100 and 200 mesh A 70% coal sample passing through a 200 mesh screen indicates optimum mill performance The mill wear and the power
