Abstract:
A method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions in oxyfuel combustion, which method comprises supplying in a furnace (11) of a circulating fluidised bed boiler (10) at least one primary gas flow (15) and at least one secondary gas flow (16), which both have been produced by mixing oxygen and circulated flue gas together. The oxygen content of the primary gas (15) is adjusted such that a reducing zone (I) is formed at the bottom of the furnace, in which zone nitrogen oxides are reduced to nitrogen. The oxygen content of the secondary gas is adjusted such that above the reducing zone (I) is formed an oxidising zone (II), in which zone combustion is completed.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement for optimizing combustion conditions in a fluidized-bed boiler, in which combustion gas is fed at two or more height levels, the first of which is a primary level (P) which is located at the height of a furnace bottom and the second is a secondary level (S) which is located above fuel feed height (F), above which secondary level (S) there can be still other combustion gas feed levels (T, . . . ). At least one combustion gas feed level (P, S, T, . . . ) is fed at different points of the furnace (11) in its horizontal direction with combustion gases having different oxygen contents such that zones of different oxygen content can be formed in the horizontal direction of the furnace (11).
