Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor (CFBC)

This system integrates the "3Ts" of combustion - time, temperature and turbulence.

                 

· Contaminated soils, solids and liquids are introduced into the incinerator's combustion chamber;

· In the cyclone, the centrifugal effect recirculates the solid particles to the combustion chamber, thus constituting the combustion loop;

· Treated soils and solids are removed from the combustion loop and are cooled by the extraction conveyor;

· The fine particles recuperated at the baghouse are then reintroduced with the treated material;

· The hot gases are evacuated and guided towards a flue gas cooler.

· The following gases at the stack undergo continuous monitoring: sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and total hydrocarbons. Opacity and hydrochloric acid are also monitored on a continuous basis;

· This incinerator does not require an emergency stack and does not produce liquid effluents;

· Acidic gases are neutralized in a dry scrubber;

· Injection of activated carbon at the scrubber is also possible.
