CFB Combustion of alkali-laden biomass: Agglomeration and fouling resistance by S. Sungworagarn, P. Sathitruangsak, T. Madhiyanon

“…The work focuses on three objectives: (i) to examine fired-side problems, including bed agglomeration and fouling; (ii) to determine the critical potassium accumulation level leading to defluidization; and (iii) to quantify the evolution of fouling thermal resistance using a simplified thermal model to support optimized soot-blowing strategies. Bed material and agglomerate samples were analyzed using SEM/EDX, revealing the formation of low-melting potassium silicates responsible for agglomeration. …”
