Advancements in CFB Technology Provide the Best Solution for South Africa’s Energy Future
Wednesday, 15 May 2019
South African power producers require low cost, environmentally clean yet very reliable baseload power generation that can leverage South Africa's vast indigenous coal resources. Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boiler Technology has increased its world-wide presence principally due to its highly-desirable fuel flexibility feature combined with significantly reduced air emissions, particularly SOx, NOx and even CO2.

The Benefits of CFB Technology for Utility Power
Tuesday, 19 March 2019
In many Asian countries, power producers are turning to low quality solid fuels as they face increasing pressure to generate low-cost power. They are finding that fuel-flexible circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology can capture both the largest fuel cost savings and largest carbon emission reductions by co-firing biomass and other carbon neutral waste fuels.
CFB scrubbers make a case for India (TEI Times)
Friday, 01 March 2019
March 1, 2019 - While wet flue gas desulphurization (FGD) is the incumbent technology for cleaning up coal fired plants, circulating fluidised bed (CFB) scrubbers are poised to challenge the status quo, especially in markets such as India.

The Growing use of Petcoke for Power Generation using CFB Technology
Wednesday, 07 November 2018
Petroleum coke (petcoke) is produced by deep recovery oil refineries using delayed coking technology. It is a high energy fuel priced below coal, making it very attractive to energy intensive industries, like cement, power, glass, and steel. Circulating fluidized bed technology has enabled petcoke’s growing use in power and steam production since it can cleanly
Large Scale CFB Technology for Lignites and Low Rank Coals
Wednesday, 12 September 2018
In many markets, power producers are constantly faced with growing pressures to generate low cost power from solid fuels. As a result, power producers are increasingly looking to take maximum advantage of locally mined low-quality coals and lignite that are easily available at significantly lower prices. The resulting increase in utilization of low ranks coals

How CFB addresses the challenges of biomass burning at utility scale (Modern Power Systems)
Wednesday, 01 August 2018
August 1, 2018 - Combustion of biomass poses a number of problems, particularly in utility scale boilers. The circulating fluidised bed has features that control ash agglomeration, fouling, and corrosion, and therefore make it particularly suitable for biomass applications, with inherent characteristics that favour low emissions. The technology also has considerable potential for scale up, and adoption of greatly improved steam conditions.
