FBC Boiler (Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler)
Sitson Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) boilers are engineered for
high-efficiency combustion of low-grade, high-ash fuels. By suspending fuel particles in a
hot, bubbling bed of inert material, FBC boilers provide uniform combustion temperatures,
exceptional heat transfer, and low emissions. It is a cost-effective, environmentally
friendly option for steam and power generation.
Key Features
- Excellent Turn Down Ratio: Adapts
efficiently to fluctuating steam demands.
- Under-bed Fuel Feeding: Ensures
less carbon loss and achieves high combustion efficiency.
- Minimal Refractory Work:
Significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs.
- High Fuel Flexibility: Burns coal,
biomass, and agro-waste seamlessly.
- Eco-friendly: Low SOx and NOx
emission levels due to controlled bed temperatures.
- No Moving Parts in Combustor:
Simplifies operation and reduces wear and tear.
- Low Bed Temperature: Reduces
clinker formation and fouling tendency of biomass.
Performance Advantages
Low Load Savings
Requires less operational costs even during low load operation, optimizing plant
efficiency.
Lower Auxiliary Power
Auxiliary power consumption is significantly lower compared to conventional
boilers.
High Combustion Efficiency
Advanced fluidization design guarantees complete burning of fuel, maximizing
energy output.
Fast Start-up
Quick start-up time translates to low startup fuel consumption and reduced
operator overhead.
Higher Reliability
- Low erosion rate of bed coil translates to
substantially reduced maintenance costs.
- No soot blowers are required in the convection bank
zone for coal-fired boilers.
- Lower gas velocity in the furnace prevents erosion of
pressure parts.
- Designed to minimize superheater erosion for prolonged
equipment life.
