Abstract
Two 75 t/h medium-temperature separated circulating fluidized bed boilers burning Fujian anthracite were upgraded with low NOx combustion (LNC). By reducing the effective cross-sectional area of the air distributor (from 13.43 m2 to 11.38 m2), improving the secondary air rate (from 40% to 45%), adjusting the secondary air supply method (adding a layer of upper secondary air, raising the height of the lower secondary air nozzle (0.4 m), and increasing the secondary air speed (from 48 m/s to 54 m/s), the reform of low nitrogen combustion was carried out. The transformation achieved remarkable results, i.e., the original NOx emission concentration can be controlled between 140−160 mg/m3 after the transformation, and the lowest value is below 120 mg/m3.
