Comparison of Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler and ...
PC firing utilises coal ground to a very fine powder sprayed into the furnace for combustion. CFB uses coal crushed to sizes of around 3 to 6 mm. The time energy and facility required to crush coal is much lesser than pulverizing coal. PC firing uses around 30 % of the combustion air as high pressure primary air for drying and transporting fuel.
