Gravimetric and Volumetric Coal Feed Systems for Boilers
Because of the heterogeneity of coal, gravimetric feed systems have a number of advantages over volumetric systems when it comes to achieving optimized combustion in pulverized coal fired power plants, with lower emissions. Gravimetric systems are widely used in the USA, volumetric feeders currently predominate in Europe, but with the growing pressure to reduce emissions this is likely to …
