Assessment of the Possibility of Transition Power Boilers to Alternative Solid Fuels by Modeling Combustion Processes by V. B. Prokhorov, V. S. Kirichkov, S. L. Chernov, M. V. Fomenko

“…When converting boilers to alternative fuels, the main problems are: slag of the furnace shields and heating surfaces located above the furnace; fouling of convective heating surfaces; instability of non-designed fuel combustion; abrasion of the convective part of boilers; reduction of environmental performance; change in operating conditions of dust preparation, slag removal, ash collection and fuel supply systems. Before conducting experimental combustion of alternative fuels, it is advisable to carry out a preliminary assessment of its combustion possibility using numerical simulation, which makes it possible to identify emerging problems in advance. …”
