12 Evaluation of Influence of Fuel Mixture on Corrosion Corrosion Prediction Based on Fuel Composition Case: 270 MW th BFB boiler burning biofuel, sludge and peat Question: How does a change in the fuel mixture influence on superheater corrosion? SteaMax study Metso in-house corrosion prediction calculation tool Fuel mixture including peat => no corrosion Excluding peat => increased corrosion of secondary superheater Options: Change material for a part of the secondary superheater Lower the chlorine amount in the fuel mix CorroStop additives Solution: Part of the secondary superheater was changed to stainless steel => corrosion under control 12

13 Modelling for Increased Capacity Use of CFD for Recovery Boiler Modernization Operational targets - Upgrade of the lower furnace to reduce maintenance and increase safety - Upgrade of the air system to increase capacity and improve boiler operation Use of CFD to find the optimum air supply and to verify the furnace bottom geometry Original design Improved design Air system Variations in temperature profiles Tertiary air does not penetrate deep in the furnace Temperature profile CO concentration Some CO escapes from the furnace Good air penetration and coverage Air system Temperature profile No CO escaping the furnace Even temperature profile CO concentration Result Boiler capacity increase by 12.5 % achieved and water circulation system performance, reduction efficiency and emissions as specified 13

18 Pyrolysis Oil Development 18

19 Pyrolysis Producing bio-oil from biomass Thermal decomposition of fuel without oxidizing agent Produces liquid biofuel used to substitute fuel oils Many types of biomass can be used in process Metso, UPM, Fortum and VTT have developed an integrated bio-oil production concept to provide an alternative to liquid fossil fuels Any fluidized bed boiler is a potential biorefinery! 19

21 500 ºC reactor Basic principle - Fast pyrolysis Wood is decomposed in oxygen-free atmosphere by heat 800 ºC sand from fluidized bed boiler Wood pyrolyzed by heat Wood feeding Oxygen-free recirculation gas 21

22 Fast pyrolysis based bio oil production plant Fortum Joensuu, Finland In fast pyrolysis wood is decomposed in oxygen-free atmosphere solid m³/a forest chips are heated up, volatiles extracted and condensed to generate bio oil Bio oil production reactor is integrated to an existing fluidized bed boiler Annual production tons of bio oil Annual production can replace fossil oil in heating of more than private homes Start-up in the autumn of 2013 Fuel receiving, drying and crushing Pyrolyzer in the boiler building Bio-oil recovery Bio-oil tanks 22

23 Further pyrolysis development paths Biomass Catalytic pyrolysis Hydrogenation Bio-oil Gasoline substitute Fast pyrolysis Bio-oil Heat and power 23

24 Some important factors for succesful R&D and commercialization Business potential and customer benefit Good partnerships Win-win situation, opportunities for all participants Clear rules and agreements (goals, cost and work load sharing, IPR) Trust and open information sharing Different partners involved (e.g. end users, energy / end product producers, equipment manufacturers, research organisations) Long-term commitment Knowledge accumulation Long projects (e.g. pyrolysis, gasification) R&D public support and funding (e.g. Tekes, TEM, EU, etc) Synergy with existing business 24
