Introduction
Hämäläinen, 2011 VTT Technical Research Center of Finland
Potential operational problems of CFB boilers both
in air- and in oxy- mode:
Ash buildup and agglomeration
Defluidization
Shutdown for cleaning and maintenance

Agglomeration of bed material
Åmand & Steenari, 2011
CIUDEN Ponferrada, 9th – 13th September 2013 CIUDEN Ponferrada, 9th – 13th September 2013
Scope
“Agglomeration of minerals … may be a problem; targeted measurements … in semi-commercial scale would provide definitive answers and identify remedial measures, if any”. (Wall et al., 2012)
30 MWth CFB Boiler
