Reliable waste-to-energy solutions for efficient energy recovery
For decades, Sumitomo SHI FW’s Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boilers have delivered reliable, efficient energy worldwide. Proven in waste-to-energy applications, CFB boilers handle diverse fuels like biomass and refuse-derived fuel. This flexibility supports energy recovery from waste, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and cuts CO₂ emissions by using local, renewable resources.
Discover how CFB boilers turn waste into clean, sustainable energy with fuel flexibility and environmental benefits.
Tabs
Our CFB boilers utilize advanced fluidization and combustion technology to maximize energy recovery from waste-based fuels. Here’s how the process works:
Step 1: Fuel Preparation
Various waste fuels, including biomass and refuse-derived fuel, are prepared and fed into the CFB boiler.
Step 2: Fluidized Combustion
Air is injected at high velocities, creating a circulating flow within the combustion chamber. This fluidized motion allows thorough mixing of waste fuels, achieving uniform heat distribution and efficient combustion.
Step 3: Combustion and Energy Recovery
The turbulent flow in the CFB boiler ensures full combustion of waste fuel particles at lower temperatures. This helps minimize nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Heat generated from combustion is transferred to tubes filled with water, producing steam. This steam can then be used for electricity generation, district heating, or industrial processes.
Step 4: Emissions Control
CFB boilers are equipped with advanced systems to capture and neutralize pollutants, ensuring that emissions remain within strict environmental standards.
Fuel Flexibility for Diverse Waste Fuels
Our CFB boilers can process a wide range of waste fuels, from biomass to refuse-derived fuels, enabling local fuel use and reducing dependency on traditional fossil fuels.
Efficient Energy Recovery
With high steam parameters, CFB boilers maximize energy recovery from waste, making them an efficient and cost-effective solution for waste-to-energy plants.
Environmental Compliance
CFB boilers achieve low NOx emissions through precise combustion control, and each unit is designed to meet or exceed strict environmental regulations, supporting sustainable waste management.
