Abstract
It is known that petroleum coke, a product of deep processing of oil, can be used as fuel in power boilers. The method of petroleum coke burning in a fluidized bed is the most optimal to complete its combustion. To improve the combustion characteristics of this fuel, we studied the influence of catalysts on the petroleum coke burning in the simulation mode of a stationary fluidized bed. The laboratory setup is described. The results of the experiments are given.
Highlights
The level of energy development of any country is determined not by the amount of extracted or consumed fuel and energy resources, but by the efficiency of their use
In view of the development of energy production, one of the main tasks of any state is to search for new types of fuel that will fit technical and environmental standards [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Taking into account the abovementioned, it was decided to study the impact of catalysts on the petroleum coke combustion in the mode of the so-called stationary fluidized bed [17]
Summary
The level of energy development of any country is determined not by the amount of extracted or consumed fuel and energy resources, but by the efficiency of their use. The experience of using petroleum coke as a fuel or a burnable additive makes an essential contribution to the global energy industry. It is known that petroleum coke is most efficiently burned in the fluidized bed. Fluidized bed boilers can burn fuel with a combustion efficiency of more than 95%. This makes it possible to use boilers of small sizes. Fluidized bed boilers give nominal capacity even during the lowquality fuels burning. Some oxides contained in the petroleum coke ash can serve as catalysts for the combustion process, affecting the melting temperature of the ash and its slagging. Taking into account the abovementioned, it was decided to study the impact of catalysts on the petroleum coke combustion in the mode of the so-called stationary fluidized bed [17]
