Abstract

In a pulverized coal (PC) fired boiler, the burner plays an important role. Designs of different types of PC burners have been discussed in earlier chapters. The present chapter discusses improvements made to conventional burners in order to achieve higher levels of performance both in terms of operating efficiency as well as environmental performance.
