What does BFB stand for?

The biomass boiler plant will use bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology and once operational, will be one of the largest and most efficient biomass boilers in the world.

Modeling approaches include three-dimensional Eulerian simulation of a gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed, modeling of solidification of binary fluids with non-linear viscosity models, numerical simulation of gas-solid flow by computational fluid dynamics techniques, modeling of stratified two phase flows using an interfacial area density model, and modeling of segregation and mixing effects in a riser using the quadrature method of moments.

Kvaerner Power will deliver a power boiler using bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology to a power plant at UPM's Rauma paper mill on the west coast of Finland.

OTCBB: FWHLF) announced today that its Swedish subsidiary in the Foster Wheeler Global Power Group has been awarded a contract to supply a biomass-fired bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) retrofit to Stora Enso Hylte AB.

The biomass boiler plant will utilize bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology and will use waste wood from logging and mill activity as well as urban wood waste from clearing, tree trimming and pallets as the main fuel.

The boiler to be supplied will use Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology and have the capacity for firing about 400 tolls of dry solids per day.

Foster Wheeler's CFBs and bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boilers have an excellent track record of delivering high levels of efficiency and availability, and are capable of firing a wide variety of fuels-including many difficult-to-burn biofuels-with very low levels of environmental emissions.

Metso Power will supply for the power plant a power boiler (124 MWth) which will utilize bubbling fluidized bed technology and will burn biomass, like bark and forest residues to produce electricity to the national grid and steam for the paper mill.
