An effective disposal method of municipal sewage sludge is burning sewage sludge together with coals in coal-fired circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. At an appropriate weight ratio of sewage sludge in fuel blend, the co-combustion of sewage sludge and coals will not cause significant adverse effects on power plant production, and make use of the calorific value of sewage sludge. This study summarizes the progress of research and application in CFB boilers co-firing coal and sewage sludge, involving the emissions and controls of pollutants during the co-combustion of sewage sludge and coals, the weight ratio of sewage sludge in fuel blend under the reliable boiler operation, and sludge drying. The operational problems associated with the co-combustion of wet sludge and coals are analyzed. The applications of coal-water slurry suspension combustion technology and oxygen-enriched combustion technology in the disposal and utilization of sewage sludge are presented. The study points out that the drying and incineration of sewage sludge combined with advanced flue gas purification technology is one of the mature processes for the application of coal-fired CFB boilers in sewage sludge incineration, which can avoid the environmental impact of odours generated during the storage, drying and transportation of sewage sludge, and provide effective controls of a variety of pollutants. The conclusions of investigation and analysis can provide a reference and basis for the design and safe operation of CFB boilers co-firing coal and sewage sludge.
