FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTION IS OUR SPECIALTY - ONE THAT WE HAVE PIONEERED FROM THE VERY START.
FUEL FLEXIBILITY
Our CFB units are capable of firing nearly all solid fuels - including waste products that otherwise would have been land-filled - while maintaining the lowest levels of emissions, and the highest equipment reliability and efficiency. Our fuel experience is unmatched as proven by our capability to design units for even the lowestquality fuels. Our CFBs give plant owners the flexibility to source fuel from a number of suppliers and industries, improving their fuel supply security while taking advantage of fuel prices and market conditions. Our CFB Fuel Experience

RELIABLITY
Our simple yet advanced CFB designs can achieve the highest plant availability, proven by over twenty million hours of operational experience, even after years of operation. Preventative condition monitoring, expert maintenance, and rapid-response repair work all supplied by our service teams - help ensure maximum reliability - year after year. Our long-term operations and maintenance support (O&MS) agreements and our innovative SmartBoiler system (an expanding set of intelligent analysis and optimization tools for enhancing plant operation and maintenance) are available to increase your plants availability even further.
OUR LARGE-SCALE SUPERCRITICAL ONCE-THROUGH CFB DESIGN OFFERED UP TO 800 MWe UNIT SIZES
UTILITY CFBs
WHAT STARTED OFF AS A SOLUTION FOR HARD-TO-BURN FUELS HAS BECOME A MAINSTREAM COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE IN EVER-LARGER UNIT SIZES. TODAY, WE OFFER TWO STATE-OF-THE-ART UTILITY CFB DESIGNS, EACH OFFERING HIGH VALUE TO UTILITY CLIENTS.
UTILITY CFBs
GOING SUPERCRITICAL
We have taken the next major step forward in advancing our CFB technology by offering our latest generation of supercritical oncethrough steam generation technology, which incorporates Siemens BENSON vertical-tube evaporator technology for units above 300 MWe. This allows us to offer our utility clients all of the benefits of CFB combustion technology, together with the high efficiency of supercritical steam technology. This technology can improve overall plant efficiency by 5-10% compared to conventional natural circulation steam technology, which translates directly into a 5-10% reduction in the plants air and ash emissions as well as its fuel and water needs. When we say a reduction in air emissions, we mean all air emissions like SOx, NOx, mercury and particulates as well as greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide. As with our conventional natural circulation CFBs, these highly efficient supercritical units will be equally at home with hard-to-burn fuels, as well as common utility coals. We have developed a modular design approach allowing us to offer units up to 800 MWe in steam capacity.

Our history of developing innovative combustion technologies for industry began with our bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) steam generators, from which we have developed our advanced robust CFB technology for a diverse range of industrial fuels and energy needs. We are now a leading supplier of industrial CFB technology, supplying over 210 units, with unit sizes up to 150 MWe, for industrial applications.
PROVEN EXPERIENCE
The solutions we have provided have been as diverse as our clients needs. The CFB we supplied to a Swedish paper mill to convert their waste bark and sludge into useful steam needed by the mill, as well as the 20 petcoke-fired steam generators we delivered to Sinopec in China, demonstrate our ability to customize units to meet clients needs. Our industrial boiler designs have been proven and advanced based on 30 years of operating experience.

A GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Concern about global warming is a key factor for developing and implementing energy solutions today. Use of biomass in power generation can contribute significantly to reducing emissions of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas. The fuel flexibility of our CFB techology allows them to utilize a wide range of renewable and waste fuels and fuel mixes, helping our world reach a goal of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Our CFBs can also divert waste headed for land-fills and instead convert this waste into valuable steam and electricity to support our growing energy needs.
GREEN FUELS
Biofuels include natural materials and waste produced by various industrial or other processes, and include: Material from forestry operations - thinnings - harvesting waste - bark - stumps Wood processing waste - offcuts - sawdust - demolition wood Pulp and papermaking waste Fast-growing energy crops Agricultural waste Industrial waste and municipal refuse-derived fuel (RDF)
