Abstract | This paper presents an experimental study on co-combustion of two types of rice husk with substantially differentproperties in a fluidized-bed combustor using fuel staging for lowering NO emission. Rice husk pellets were burned as a base (orprimary) fuel, whereas moisturized rice husk was injected downstream from the primary combustion zone as a secondary fuel.The experiments were conducted at 200 kWth heat input to this reactor with a bottom air supply, while the energy fraction of thesecondary fuel in the total heat input ranged from 0 to 0.25, and excess air was within 20?80% for each co-firing option. Thestudy revealed significant effects of the operating parameters on combustion and emission performance of the combustor.Compared to burning of the base fuel, a nearly 40% NO emission reduction is achievable with fuel staging, while controlling theCO and CxHy emissions from the combustor to acceptable levels. However, fuel staging causes some deterioration in thecombustion efficiency. |
