The seller, a company with its place of business in Ontario, Canada, agreed to sell a fluidized bed furnace to the buyer, an Illinois corporation with its place of business in the United States.

As far as technologically and economically possible, they intend to use high-efficiency technologies for power production from coal, including supercritical steam technology, integrated coal gasification combined cycle and fluidized bed technology.

Non-conventional methods of combustion, such as fluidized bed combustion (FBC) were found to generate comparable or slightly lower emissions of mercury and other trace elements than the conventional power plants (Carpenter, 1979; Abel et al., 1981).

Non-conventional methods of combustion, such as fluidized bed combustion (FBC) were found to generate comparable or slightly lower emissions of mercury and other trace elements compared to the conventional power plants (e.g. Carpenter, 1979, Abel et al., 1981).

While some sources indicate that the reduction can be achieved, preliminary results of staged combustion in atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) units indicated that low NOx had only little effect on trace element emissions (Smith, 1987).

This approach will increase capital costs but reduce sorbent costs; Installation of a semi-dray circulating fluidized-bed absorber (CFA) upstream of an existing ESP used in conjunction with sorbent injection.

Ms. Goel identified three generations of clean coal technology The first generation technologies (e.g. coal preparation, pulverized fuel, fluidized bed combustion, flue gas desulphurization, supercritical boilers) were fully deployed and commercialized.

The second generation technologies (e.g. fine coal beneficiations, de-NOx, ultra super critical boilers, circulating fluidized bed combustion, pressurized pulverized coal combustion, IGCC, pressurized fluidized bed combustion, molten carbonate fuel cells) were being demonstrated on a commercial scale; for this technology the country would need technology transfer Finally, the third generation technologies (e.g. oxy-fuel combustion, in-situ coal gasification, coal bed methane, coal mine methane, integrated pulverized fuel, IGCC and zero emission technology, integrated gasification fuel cell, carbon capture and storage) were at an early demonstration stage and for this the country would need partners for collaborative research.

In another approach, the UF5 powder may be removed/transferred from the `product' collectors into a suitable reaction vessel (e.g., fluidized-bed reactor, screw reactor or flame tower) for fluorination. In both approaches, equipment for storage and transfer of fluorine (or other suitable fluorinating agents) and for collection and transfer of UF6 are used.

Many of the key equipment items for uranium conversion plants are common to several segments of the chemical process industry. For example the types of equipment employed in these processes may include furnaces, rotary kilns, fluidized bed reactors, flame tower reactors, liquid centrifuges, distillation columns and liquid-liquid extraction columns.
