Relatively Stable Operation
Lower bed temperature (840~870oC) than those of other CFBs in Korea Lower emission of SO2 and NOx than expected Lower formation of clinker and fouling in the CFB boiler
Plan to apply various fuel co-combustion (anthracite, biomass, etc)
Coal Explosion in the Chain Conveyor
Coal Explosion Experiences in Commissioning Period Explosion occurred during restart after a long shut down in the coal chain conveyors.
due to coal property – high volatiles and some fine particles due to spontaneous ignition of coal in the silos & chain conveyors / smolder coal due to volatile release and ignition at coal chute : higher temp. of SA supplied to
prevent coal condensation at the coal chute than ignition temp. of coal Some measures was taken;
CO2/steam lines, air temp. & long term storage of coal control, rupture disk etc.
Large Temp. Difference Between R-L Side INTREXs during Start-up
Heat Absorption Difference Between Design & Operation Conditions
Steam pocket formation around the section of Economizer → Evaporator It caused start-up delays several times.
To solve the problem, Start up burner & Coal feeding control, FW MOV control, MS Pr./Flow Rate control
#1 (a)
Heat absorption difference Furnace heat absorption is larger than expected. It may affect coal consumption and flue gas temp. , which can restrict APH operation. (APH inlet temp. is higher than designed.)
(Ref. Kang (KOSPO), 2017)
Cyclone Inlet Refractory (Ref. Kang (KOSPO), 2017)
Cyclone Lower Part Tube Damages (Ref. Kang (KOSPO), 2017)
Refractory damages around cyclone inlet duct roof changing refractory construction (casting/gunning ramming)
Cyclone Tube damages due to concentration of thermal expansion and thermal stress around tube panel buckstay connection area changing the sealing type from V to Round sealing
