Abstract
The emissions, bed material behaviour and the formation of deposits in
the co-combustion of granular rapeseed expeller - a residue from biodiesel
production - both with bituminous coal and wood chips was studied at VTT’s
50kW CFB pilot reactor. The NO and SO2 emissions increased while the ratio of
granular rapeseed expeller was increased in the fuel mixture. The deposition
rate with fuel mixtures containing coal was lower than with wood
chips-expeller mixtures. Potassium and phosphorous content in deposit
increased consistently with the ratio of expeller in the biomass co-firing
cases. A large ratio of expeller in the mixture with wood created slag on the
riser over the secondary air feed. The expeller was found to have a clear
agglomeration effect over the bed material when fired alone or co-fired with
wood. On the contrary, co-combustion with coal resulted in no problems to the
pilot furnace or its operation.
