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

“…Alternative fuel means such coal, for the use of which the boilers have not been designed during their design or reconstruction, as well as coal that has not previously undergone industrial or experimental combustion at this TPP. 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. …”
