Recent developments in connectivity solutions, cloud computing and analytics have enabled the creation of new tools to operate power plants more efficiently and sustainably, allowing for significant OPEX and emissions reduction without compromising the plant’s reliability and availability. Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) is at the forefront of developing advanced analytics for CFB and BFB operation through customer co-development partnerships providing valuable insights to its clients on asset and fleet optimization and reduction of fossil fuel consumption.

Power project developers are demanding increased fuel flexibility in order to maximize utilization of local renewable biomass and recycled fuels such as refuse derived fuels (RDF), local agricultural and industrial wastes, tires, and forestry residues.  These multi-fuel projects are becoming more common for several reasons. First, power producers are able to take advantage of locally available and much less expensive fuel sources

Sumitomo SHI FW will be exhibiting at the Thermal Power Expo 2020 in Tokyo, Japan from February 26-28.

In this informative webinar, Ossi Haatainen, Senior Commercial Manager, will present the concept of multifuel CHP and utility scale biomass fueled power plants, with the multifuel CFB boiler being the cornerstone of these plant types.

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. This flexibility can also improve fuel security by expanding fuel procurement strategies across both domestic and import fuel markets.

The seminar will focus on the technical, economic and environmental benefits of CFB boilers that may be customized for the Indian power market. Additionally, the Dry FGD segment of the seminar will focus on the technical, economic and environmental benefits of Dry CFB scrubbing technology as it applies to the Indian market.

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 and reliably extract the heat energy from petcoke despite its low volatility, high metal and sulfur levels.

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.

Indian power producers require low cost, environmentally clean yet very reliable baseload power generation that can leverage India’s vast indigenous coal and biomass resources. CFB technology has increased itsworld-wide presence principally due to its highly-desirable fuel flexibility feature combined with significantly reduced air emissions, particularly CO2. The CFB’s fuel flexible and low emissions design provide Indian power producers the ability to utilize the lowest cost coal, petcoke, coal slurry, lignite, washery rejects, biomass, rice husks and peat, even in variable mix combinations, to produce…

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 has underscored the importance of fuel flexibility as the primary driver behind the decisions of many power producers for selecting Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler…
