| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Fluidized bed combustors have become the technological choice for power generation from biomass fuels in California. Atmospheric emission data obtained during compliance tests are compared for five operating 18 to 32 MW fluidized bed combustion power plants. The discussion focuses on the impact of fuel properties and boiler design criteria on the emission of pollutants, the efficiency of pollution control devices, and regulations affecting atmospheric emissions. Stack NOx emission factors are shown not to vary substantially among the five plants which burn fuels with nitrogen concentrations between 0.3 and 1.1% dry weight. With reference to previous works, it is suggested that fuel nitrogen to NOx conversion rates gradually level off at fuel nitrogen concentrations above 0.15%. Prompt NOx formation mechanisms are suggested to be important in addition to fuel NOx mechanisms, compensating for reduced formation of thermal NOx in fluidized bed combustors. This may limit the |
