Combustion behavior and pollutant emission characteristics of RDF (refuse derived fuel) and sawdust in a vortexing fluidized bed combustor

Effects of air staging on emission characteristics in a conical fluidized-bed combustor firing with sunflower shells

“…The high NO reductions were expected to occur in the upper region of the fluidized bed combustor and at combustor top to cyclone outlet [29]. The similar results were obtained by Chyang et al [6] and Duan et al [30].…”

Designing the microturbine engine for waste-derived fuels

“…However, the most suitable comparison with upper data is by comparing the combustion of RDF in fluidized bed (Duan et al, 2013), where peak CO emissions from RDF are below 50 ppm and NO x emissions are below 100 ppm for RDF. These values are comparable to emissions of LW and TPO in experimental microturbine engine, although to obtain this level of CO emissions with LW, high TIT and PAT are required.…”

Toxic emissions from smouldering combustion of woody biomass and derived char with a case study of CO build-up in an ISO container

“…This could be due to the increased turbulence created by the supply of increased air, which resulted in better combustion of volatile matter [61], [62]. This may also be due to the complete combustion of smaller particles and unburned carbon [59]. None the less the obtained values exceed the WHO limits.…”
