Abstract

Alstom is developing a circulating moving bed combustion system that could make boilers of the future – even those firing low-grade solid fuels – less expensive, cleaner, and more efficient. Although a utility-scale version of the system is still as much as a decade away, the results of first tests of the concept are tantalizing.
