hot gas clean ups and system optimization and to
establish reliability and performance.
In the fluidized bed process, hydrocarbon, liquid byproducts such as tar, oil and gas-liquor are not produced
and, hence, the pollution is reduced.

At present pulverized fuel firing with FGD are less costly than
prevailing IGCC technology. However, firing in CFB Boiler is still
more economical when using high sulfur lignite and low-grade
coals and rejects.
Growing environmental regulations would force many utilities within the country to go
for revamping of these polluting old power plants using environmentally benign
technology.
mere refurbishment by the same type of new boiler would not provide the right
solution today. There is desperate need to revamp aging power boilers in India with
environmentally friendly technology, which will improve the thermal as well as
environmental performance.
CFBC offers a promising technology on this front. This calls for boiler sizing within the
constraints of an old polluting plant
