Coal with volatile matter
content less than 10% is
defined as Anthracite;
Anthracite is difficult to ignite,
stable and complete
combustion by PC boiler, but
is a good fuel for CFB boilers;
China is rich in anthracite
reverse and production, it is
used as steam coal for power
generation. CFB is a excellent
solution for efficient
anthracite combustion.

Annual coal production in China has been
over 2500 million tons in 2007, large amount
of coal mine and coal washery wastes can be
converted into electricity through CFB power
generation;
Only in Shanxi Province, which is the largest
coal producer in China, 5,000-6,000MWe CFB
power plants burning coal mine and coal
washery wastes will be built during 2006-2010,
which will consume 30-40 million tons of coal
mine and coal washery wastes .

600MWe Supercritical CFB in China
600MWe Supercritical CFB in China
Development program of 600MWe supercritical CFB
boiler in China is a sub-project of 863 Program (High
Technology Development Program in China funded by
MOST ), which is jointly developed by Tsinghua and
Harbin Boiler Co. Ltd. Another two major boiler
companies- Dongfang and Shanghai are also to join
this development.
First 600MWe supercritical CFB utility boiler burning
anthracite will be built at Baima Power Plant.
Construction of this project will start by the end of
2008

Concept design of 600MWe
supercritical CFB boiler has
been completed.
Considering low and even
heat flux and temperature in
CFB furnace, smooth tube
can be used instead of rifled
tube in furnace.
A demonstration project of
600MWe supercritical CFB
power plant will be built in
2008 at Baima Power Plant.

Conclusions
Conclusions
CFB as a clean coal technology is very important for
the countries such as China where coal is the
dominant factor in energy structure;
China has been the country with the largest number
and capacity of CFB boilers;
CFB has been a mature technology as utility boiler for
power generation with unique advantages vs PC
boilers such as low emissions and fuel flexibility;
CFB is specially suitable for burning anthracite, low
grade coal, biomass and municipal solid waste for
power generation.
