A simulation study on a 300 MW tangentially-fired boiler with 20% ammonia doping at 60% load was carried out to analyze the combustion process of ammonia doping in pulverized coal boiler
and to seek for the best coal-ammonia co-combustion scheme to ensure the optimal combustion efficiency and the lowest pollutant emission. By adjusting the position of ammonia burners and the ratio of the separated over fire air
the temperature field of the flue gas in the furnace
the molar fraction distribution of the combustion components
as well as the combustion characteristics and the NO
x
emission level at the furnace outlet were systematically analyzed using
numerical simulation. The comprehensive analysis shows that
the best coal-ammonia co-combustion solution is to place the ammonia burner on top layer(tertiary air) and the CD layer(secondary air) when the ratio of the separated over fire air is 33.5%. This scheme ensures the combustion efficiency and stability while controlling the NO
x
emission level comparable to that of the pure coal-fired condition
which provides a new way of thinking for largescale coal-fired power plants to realize clean and efficient combustion.
