Abstract:
To resolve serious coking and contamination on the heating surface of utility boilers using Zhundong coal in Urumchi,first introduce the fouling index of high-sodium coal in USA and Germany as well as the solutions for the problems mentioned above.Based on the combustion tests of high-sodium coal collected from Urumchi and surrounding areas,in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the boilers,emphasize the sodium content range in ash.The results show that,for the 100 MW boilers,200 MW to 300 MW boilers,the proper sodium content are less than 2.5 percent and less than 3.0 percent respectively.For the newly-bulit 600,1000 MW boilers,there are no reliable data.
