ISGEC Heavy Engineering, in a release, said that it has won an order for would be the 100th CFBC boiler to be supplied by the company.
Without specifying details of the boiler, the release said that the company was proud to have crossed the impressive milestone of 100 CFBC (circulating fluidized bed combustion) boilers. These boilers cut across a wide spectrum of industries and sectors, the release added.
ISGEC has achieved this milestone based on its long history of providing appropriate and technologically advanced solutions to customers across a diverse portfolio of engineering sectors. The credit, in this particular case, also goes to our ongoing technical collaboration with Sumitomo SHI FW (formerly Foster Wheeler).
Sumitomo SHI FW has supplied ultra-supercritical CFBC boilers for the 2,200-mw project at KOSPO in Samcheok, Korea. This plant has 4 x 1570 TPH ultra-supercritical CFBC Boilers, that have now been in operation for over3 years.
Advantage of CFBC
CFBC technology offered is state-of-the-art and regarded as the latest generation technology that offers customers benefits in terms of low maintenance, higher availability, higher efficiency, low LOI (loss in ignition) in ash, and a wide range of fuel firing capabilities. The technology is proven to efficiently burn a wide variety of solid fuels such as low ash imported coals, high sulphur petroleum coke, high ash Indian coals, dolochar, washery rejects, high moisture lignite, and biomass, the release said.
This technology also proves to be ideal for controlling emissions. This is mainly due to the optimum and uniform combustion temperature by continuous ash re-circulation. Hence it ensures better sulphur capture and NOx reduction.
Over 850 boilers
So far, ISGEC has supplied more than 850 boilers for various fuels and fuel combinations which include CFBC, AFBC, oil & gas, bagasse and biomass, HRSG, waste heat recovery, distillery waste / slop, and waste-to-energy, the release added.
