Abstract: China has many deposits of low-grade coal that can only be burned with fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) boilers. Since 1968, 570 FBC boilers have been put into operation in China's coal-mining areas, with a total steam generation rate of 3800ton/hr. Statistical data show that FBC is economically viable when the heating value of the fuel used is higher than 1500kcal/kg. The current status and prospects for development of FBC technology in coal-mining areas in China are presented.
