Development of Fluid Bed Combustion Applicable to the Sugarcane Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
The fuels used in industry for the last two to three decades have become expensive; furthermore there are large quantities of coal in South Africa not readily burned by the conventional means. The application of the two stage fluid bed combustor and its ability to burn low grade fuels efficiently, are discussed.
