Popis: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses background relevant to Fluidized-Bed Combustion (FBC) technology and describes the sampling and analytical strategy recommended for its environmental assessment. FBC is an available technology which, when implemented on a commercial scale, can greatly increase the utility of coal as an environmentally acceptable source of energy. The technology involves the combustion of coal in a bed of inert ash and limestone or dolomite that has been fluidized by the uniform injection of air through the bottom of the bed at controlled rates. Assessment of the physical conditions present in streams selected for sampling is prerequisite to the specification of appropriate sampling procedures. Two important parameters influencing technique selection are stream static pressure and temperature. Sampling of all streams takes place at approximately atmospheric pressure for both the atmospheric and pressurized FBC systems.
