| Abstract |
The results of 3 years of research on the utilization of shredded and magnetically separated municipal refuse to supplement high-sulfur coal as fuel in a stroker-fired boiler are presented. During the first half of the research, a refuse handling and furnace feed system consisting of agriculture crop handling equipment was used. With this equipment the feasibility of blowing shredded refuse into a boiler and burning it completely on a traveling grate was demonstrated. Corrosion probe exposures were used to show the effectiveness of cofiring to reduce short-term corrosion of boiler tube metals. Reduced emissions of SO2 from the high-sulfur coal also resulted from dilution of the coal with refuse and by action of alkaline components of the refuse. |
