Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boilers Manufacturer in India

Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boilers

For any industrial operation, there is a need for boilers that provide energy-efficient and fuel-flexible steam production in a consistent manner at controlled costs of fuel.

Shanti Boilers designs boilers referred to as Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boilers with the ability to generate steam with high thermal efficiency and dependable operations.

The SB-EF-MW-FBC Series of our Shanti Boilers is a boiler that burns several kinds of solid fuels and uses the fluidized bed combustion method of operation. The boiler is perfect in terms of its design, providing complete combustion, effective heat transfer, lesser fuel usage, and hence reduced costs.

For many years now, we have been making boilers for various industrial sectors, ensuring that our clients receive robust systems that meet the most rigorous production demands.

What is a Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boiler?

Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boiler is an advanced type of solid fuel-based steam boiler, where fuel particles remain suspended above the bed of inert material like sand or refractory materials.

The use of high pressure air using air nozzles leads to a condition similar to fluid state, which ensures even mixing of fuel and air.

Such a technique provides for effective combustion, efficient heat exchange, and greater efficiency as compared to the traditional grate-based boilers. It also helps industries to use different types of inferior quality or high-ash fuel without affecting the steam production capability of the boiler.

Engineered for High Efficiency & Reliable Performance

Shanti Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers use the membrane water wall furnace design coupled with natural steam and water circulation.

The boiler uses vertical heat exchange tubes inside the bed to absorb as much heat as possible without disturbing stability. The steam drum spans through the combustion and convection zones to enable effective circulation and generation of steam. There is also an innovative air distributor system that ensures even fluidization of the combustion zone.

This enables effective combustion and variable loading capacity. All parts of the boiler are constructed from high-quality material to provide long service life.

How Does an FBC Boiler Work?

The working principle of a Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler is based on suspending fuel particles within a hot bed of inert materials using controlled air pressure.

The combustion process involves:

1

Solid fuel is fed continuously into the combustion chamber.

2

Primary air passes through specially designed air distributor nozzles.

3

The bed material becomes fluidized, creating uniform mixing of fuel and air.

4

Complete combustion takes place within the fluidized bed.

5

Heat generated transfers efficiently to the water wall tubes and heat exchange surfaces.

6

Steam is produced through natural circulation and supplied for industrial processes.

7

Flue gases pass through heat recovery surfaces before exiting through the chimney.

This technology provides stable combustion, rapid heat transfer, and efficient utilization of various solid fuels.
