In this study, detailed models such as boiler furnace and convective heat exchanger, with the consideration of the requirements of boiler thermodynamic calculation, were developed based on Aspen Plus user model. A boiler system for the thermodynamic calculation of a 600 MW sub-critical boiler was established and results were compared to the reference data. The comparison indicates that the models...
Air supply is one of the most important factors that influence the combustion of the volatile and carbon in a biomass fired boiler. For many biomass power generation plants, there is insufficient measure to assure the proper air supply. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of a double-grate biomass fired boiler was carried out. The three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Nervier-stokes...
The process of co-combustion of municipal solid waste with sludge for power generation was simulated by ASPEN PLUS in this paper. Thermodynamic analysis was carried out according to the simulation results later. The results showed that: Using exhaust gas as heat source to dry the sludge could improve the generation efficiency; The exhaust flue gas of 423 K could decrease the sludge moisture content...
A numerical model of the flow field of a 48t/h grate-fired boiler was presented in this paper. The air distributions in the furnace under different air supply ratio were considered in order to get the optimum air ratio. The three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Nervier-stokes equation with the Standard k-epsilon Model was solved. The result showed that the airflow ratio played a significant role on...
Based on the ASPEN PLUS simulation platform, drying and fluidized bed incineration process of mechanically dewatered sludge with 70% moisture content was simulated. Compared with other calculation methods, this method could achieve sludge incineration simulation rapidly, and could further optimize the technology or adjust the stream parameter conveniently. The results obtained showed that: The heat...
Gasification based biomass co-firing was an attractive technology for utilizing biomass as an additional fuel in utility boilers. Compared to directly co-firing biomass and coal, it showed following benefits: (1) avoiding biomass delivery into the boiler, (2) reduced boiler slagging, (3) avoiding altered ash characteristics. In co-firing demonstration project, higher percentage of biomass gas for...
