| Abstract | China, one of the world's largest energy producers, relied on coal for 70% of its primary energy demand in 1984. Coal production, which was centred around the rich deposits in the northern and
northeastern provinces, reached almost 800 million tonnes and was used primarily as boiler fuel. The widespread use of all ranks of coals in conventional equipment is being complemented by the development of large boilers to burn efficiently and
cleanly coals with heating values below 12,6 NJ/kg. Pulverized-fired and fluidized-bed boilers rated at 850 and 150 t/h of steam respectively are now being demonstrated on coals containing more than 607 ash. Foreign technology for pulverized-fired
boilers up to 600 MWe, automated combustion controls and pollution abatement processes will be built under joint venture agreements. Combustion research facilities are being expanded to support the forecast growth in coal consumption with increased
emphasis on the utilization of low-grade coals. |
