Differences in the parameters of the fuels • Low heating value
– Low heating value of pellets is nearly 20% lower
• Sulphure content – Specific sulfur content in the pellets in g / MJ is 20 % of
that in coal
• Volatile combustibles – high content in the biomass
– chlorine content
– can be in the non-wooden biomass more than 1%
Alkalines in ash - pH of ash from the biomass is around 9 to 10 (Na, K)
• Density – density of the coal is 2,5 higher than biomass

Effects of biomass co-firing positive effects: • replacement of coal by a more environmentally friendly
fuel
• decrease of CO2 production
• energy efficient way of using the biomass
negative effects – mostly on the boiler itself, especially the following: • more intensive formation of deposits in the boiler,
resulting in a lower efficiency and a higher own consumption of the boiler;
• different way of burnout of the biomass particles resulting in an increase of temperature in the furnace
• corrosion problems caused by the increased content of chlorine and alkalis in biomass compared to coal

Effect of co-firing biomass in operation of fluidized
bed boilers
The evaluation was performed for the boiler „K80“
using data from the archive process measurement
• from the beginning of 2013, when 15% co-firing of
biomass was used
• from the 2nd half of the year, when the share of
biomass increased to 30%

Effect of biomass co-firing on boiler efficiency The results of performance evaluation at 30 % biomass share:
• increased deposits of ash in the furnace
• The average temperature measured in the fluidized bed increased by 17 ° C
• about 20 ° C higher flue gas temperature at the inlet to the cyclone and to the second pass
- 20% lower power of the superheater PP2
• due to the higher ash deposits, at the outlet superheater the steam temperature about 16 ° C bellow of the nominal value – Water regulatory injection was completely closed
– Superheater PP3 power drop by 18%
– Flue gas temperature at the end of the boiler higher by 24 ° C
Heat transfer resistance at the
surfaces increased about PP3 42,7% PP1 12,6% ECO 7,2% LUVO 20,4%

Effect of biomass co-firing on corrosion of boiler
• chlorine promotes corrosion in the boiler heating surfaces - especially superheater
• the cause of the corrosion are alkali metal chlorides - KCl and NaCl
– condense at temperatures of 650-800 ° C
– on the walls of the heat transfer surfaces they create a corrosion-aggressive layer
• the presence of SO2 reduces the production of chlorides

Assessment of the impact of chlorine on corrosion rate
• intensive corrosion occurs under the layer of chloride deposit
![Page 15: Effect of co-firing of biomass on operation of fluidized bed …...Effect of co-firing biomass in operation of fluidized bed boilers The evaluation was performed for the boiler „K80“](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081622/613b0a17f8f21c0c8268c76c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Assessment of the impact of chlorine on corrosion rate
• coal combustion - usual corrosion rate is by 22 nm / hr (0.176 mm / year),
• critical superheater tube wall thickness is 2 mm => superheater lifetime is about 25 years
• 15 % bio – experimental value of the corrosion rate is 0,3 mm/year => lifetime of superheater is shorter 21 years
• 30 % bio - lifetime of the new superheater will be only 15 years

Assessement of biomass co-firing effect on
emissions of pollutants
Statistic data: • semi-annual emissions for the years 2013-15
• semi-annual consumption of fuels and limestone for
the years 2013-15
• the average share of co-firing of biomass in these
periods
Assessment of the impact on SO2 emissions
• after increasing the share of biomass it was possible
to reduce the feeding of limestone
• reduction of the Ca / S ratio from 1.92 to 1.70

Assessment of the impact on emission NOx • evaluation was based on ½ year data of NOx formation in 2013-15
• fuel nitrogen content in the biomass is significantly higher than in coal
• biomass which is fed above the dense region of the fluidized bed acts as a reducing fuel, which reduces NO to N2

Assessment of the impact on emission CO
• feeding of the biomass into a higher (lean) zone of the furnace is reflected in an increase of the CO production
• the steep increase of the CO production is related to targeted reductions of excess combustion air

Assessment of the impact on emission CO2
• the burning of the 1 t lignite coal gives 1,756 t CO2
• CO2 reduction is proportional to the amount of
biomass burnt

Conclusions Increasing the share of biomass combustion from 15 to 30% has these positive effects:
• increasing the share of renewable heat source
– decreasing of emission NOx about 27 %,
– reduce of the production CO2 about 14 %
• reduce of the limestone consumption to the flue gas desulfurization by about 20%
The negative effects are associated with a deterioration in the operating characteristics of the boiler :
• intensive fouling impairs boiler efficiency by 1.5% and proportionately
– Increases fuel consumption
– Increases own electricity consumption especially by the fans
• increasing the corrosion rate of the heating surfaces , in particular the outlet of the superheater and shorten its lifetime

Conclusions
Economic point of view
the price of heat in the biomass is 3.5 times higher
the biomass co-firing saves the CO2 credits
• support for the use of renewable energy sources for electricity production,
In summary, based on the increase in the proportion of combustion of biomass from 15 to 30% is reflected as fast operational costs saving.
• The saving is mainly due to subsidies for electricity generated by burning biomass. Its withdrawal would be critical.
