CFB Refractory Improvements for Biomass Co-Firing - Power
With the increasing demand for alternative fuel sources in the power generation industry, most CFB boiler facilities have began co-firing biomass based fuels. With the demands on the refractory linings, primarily due to moisture and alkalis present, the selection of proper refractory materials has

Biomass, Waste to Energy, & Waste Incineration
Erosion is the main challenge for CFB, with hard particles, such as bed, fuel and ash material, circulating in the boiler. Most CFB designs use refractory protection in the furnace area to mitigate damage. Erosion resistant coating is then applied on the evaporator surfaces to prevent thickness losses of the tubes.

Common Boiler Problems, Part 4: Improper Warm-up
Refractory damage is most prevalent associated with quick warm-up of a boiler from a cold start. Refractory by design transfers heat very slowly and therefore heats up much more slowly than metal. Also, as the air inside the furnace and refractory cool, moisture is absorbed from the air in the refractory.
