- Abstract
- Moving from coal to biomass (co-)combustion is an effective way to reduce CO 2 emissions from a power plant. However, this modification leads to well-know operational difficulties, such as, among others, slagging and fouling. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are precious indicators of the impacts of a fuel modification on the operation and the availability of a unit. The main differences between coal and biomass solid fuels are presented, as well as the main adaptations to be done in CFD codes. The approach has been tested on global CFD simulations of a biomass boiler (Les Awirs power plant, Belgium, GDF-Suez). (EN). Do you want to read the rest of this publication? Access full-text
