Journal ArticleDOI
Bed Agglomeration Characteristics during Fluidized Bed Combustion of Biomass Fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the in-bed behavior of ash-forming elements in fluidized bed combustion (FBC) of different biomass fuels was examined by SEM/EDS analysis of samples collected during controlled agglomeration test r...
Journal ArticleDOI
The ash chemistry in fluidised bed gasification of biomass fuels. Part I: predicting the chemistry of melting ashes and ash–bed material interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the modelling of the ash-chemistry of seven biomass fuels under reducing, pressurised conditions in fluidised bed gasification by means of thermodynamic multi-phase multi-component equilibrium (TPCE) calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cement manufacturing using alternative fuels and the advantages of process modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a commercial modeling tool (ASPEN PLUS®) is used to model the four-stage pre-heater kiln system of a full-scale cement plant (clinker production ∼2900 tons/day), using petcoke as fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prediction of behaviour of ashes from five different solid fuels in fluidised bed combustion
Maria Zevenhoven-Onderwater, ,†,J.-P. Blomquist,Bengt-Johan Skrifvars,Rainer Backman,Mikko Hupa +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the behaviour of different ashes was predicted by the combination of extended fuel analysis with advanced global thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, which is a fractionation method that consists of sequential leaching of a solid fuel with water, ammonium acetate and hydrochloric acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrosion of superheater steel materials under alkali salt deposits Part 1: The effect of salt deposit composition and temperature
TL;DR: In this article, the first in a series of two reporting on results from an extensive laboratory-scale corrosion study where tailor-made well-characterized synthetic alkali salt deposits were used for corrosion testing of several steel materials used in or aimed for recovery boiler superheater tubing.
