This project is a demonstration for firing coal-water slurry in a fire-tube boiler. It includes design, installation, and demonstration of the slurry firing equipment in a fire-tube boiler at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The project will be funded by the US Department of Energy with cost sharing from Jim Walter Resources and the University of Alabama. Energy and Environmental Research Corporation is the prime contractor responsible for all respects of the project. The specific objective of this contract is to demonstrate the potential for coal-water fuels to be burned effectively in fire-tube boiler designed for oil or gas. …

Description
This project is a demonstration for firing coal-water slurry in a fire-tube boiler. It includes design, installation, and demonstration of the slurry firing equipment in a fire-tube boiler at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The project will be funded by the US Department of Energy with cost sharing from Jim Walter Resources and the University of Alabama. Energy and Environmental Research Corporation is the prime contractor responsible for all respects of the project. The specific objective of this contract is to demonstrate the potential for coal-water fuels to be burned effectively in fire-tube boiler designed for oil or gas. When the results of this project combined with the results of the water-tube slurry testing, a broad data base will exist that will provide valuable information for the retrofit of future boilers. 1 tab.
