Water-tube boilers and auxiliary installations - Part 16: Requirements for grate and fluidized-bed firing systems for solid fuels for the boiler

1.1   Firing systems
This document applies to atmospheric fluidized-bed and grate firing systems of steam boilers and hot water generators. These systems commence at the fuel bunkers and end at the ash extraction plant. For combination of various firing systems, the individual requirements of each system apply, especially those included in EN 12952-8:2022 and EN 12952-9:2022.
If several fuels are burnt simultaneously or if a fuel quality varies considerably (e.g. moisture content), additional safety measures can be necessary, especially with respect to limitation of the fuel flow into the firing system and ensuring proper air supply to the individual fuels.
Pressurized firing systems can require enhanced safety measures, which are not given in this European Standard.
1.2   Fuels
This document covers the use of solid fuels. Pulverized fuel fired in an entrained air flow (burner) system is covered by EN 12952-9:2022.
Solid fuels covered are:
•   all coal qualities, e.g. lignite or brown coal, sub-bituminous or hard brown coal, bituminous coal or hard coal, pitch coal, anthracite, coke, coal culm, coal sludge;
•   other fossil solid fuels (e.g. peat, oil shale);
•   biomass solid fuels (e.g. wood, wood wastes [bark], pellets, energy plants [miscanthus], harvest wastes [straw] and briquettes);
•   municipal waste solid fuels (e.g. garbage, sewage sludge, refuse derived fuels [RDF]);
•   industrial waste solid fuels (e.g. petrol coke, soot, tyres, paper wastes, coated wood chips, spent wood, animal product wastes).
Fuel blends from two or more groups, or fuels of unconventional or unknown quality can require special safety measures which can be proved either by practical experience gained from comparable fuels, or by suitable tests, e.g. in accordance with EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011. Such measures specified and documented by the manufacturer.
Fuels on which the design is documented in the operating instructions (see 11.2). This includes the fuel data for 100 % input of the basic fuel and the data for any supplementary fuels together with their maximum thermal input percentage.
1.3   Operation
The requirements for operational equipment in Clause 4, Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8, Clause 9, Clause 10 and Clause 11 apply to steam boilers and hot water generators with permanent supervision by properly trained personnel familiar with the special conditions of the firing systems and the type of fuel.

Overview

EN 12952-16:2022 is the CEN standard for grate and atmospheric fluidized-bed firing systems for solid fuels used with water-tube boilers and hot water generators. It covers the firing system from fuel bunkers through preparation, combustion (grate or fluidized-bed), combustion air and flue gas handling, to the ash extraction plant. The standard applies to a wide range of solid fuels (coal types, peat, biomass, municipal and industrial waste) and defines safety, design and operational requirements for permanently supervised installations.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and fuels: Defines covered fuel types and notes that pulverized fuel in entrained-air burners is covered by EN 12952-9. It highlights the need for special measures when burning mixed or variable-quality fuels.
  • Fuel storage and conveying (Clause 4): Requirements for bunkers, bins and conveying plant that form the start of the firing system.
  • Fuel treatment (Clause 5): Provisions for size reduction and drying where applicable.
  • Fuel feeding (Clause 6): Safe fuel transport into the furnace (feeders, chutes, lances, through-grate feeding).
  • Explosion prevention (Clause 7): Measures and an overview table for prevention in different operational areas.
  • Combustion air & flue gas (Clause 8): Air supply design, combustion air/fuel ratio considerations and flue gas discharge requirements.
  • Firing system design, monitoring & safety (Clause 9): Requirements for combustion process monitoring devices, control systems, electrical equipment and operational safety (purging, lighting-up, start-up, shutdown).
  • Ash handling (Clause 10): Requirements for extraction and safe removal of ash.
  • Operating manual & operation (Clause 11 & Annex A): Documentation and training requirements; systems are intended for use under permanent supervision by trained personnel.
  • Special cases: Pressurized firing systems may need enhanced measures not covered by this standard. For unconventional fuels, testing (e.g., EN 14034-2) or manufacturer-documented measures are recommended.

Practical applications and users

EN 12952-16 is intended for:

  • Boiler manufacturers and system integrators designing grate firing and fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) systems.

1 Scope
1.1 Firing systems
This document applies to atmospheric fluidized-bed and grate firing systems of steam boilers and hot
water generators. These systems commence at the fuel bunkers and end at the ash extraction plant. For
combination of various firing systems, the individual requirements of each system apply, especially those
included in EN 12952-8:2022 and EN 12952-9:2022.
If several fuels are burnt simultaneously or if a fuel quality varies considerably (e.g. moisture content),
additional safety measures can be necessary, especially with respect to limitation of the fuel flow into the
firing system and ensuring proper air supply to the individual fuels.
Pressurized firing systems can require enhanced safety measures, which are not given in this European
Standard.
1.2 Fuels
This document covers the use of solid fuels. Pulverized fuel fired in an entrained air flow (burner) system
is covered by EN 12952-9:2022.
Solid fuels covered are:
• all coal qualities, e.g. lignite or brown coal, sub-bituminous or hard brown coal, bituminous coal or
hard coal, pitch coal, anthracite, coke, coal culm, coal sludge;
• other fossil solid fuels (e.g. peat, oil shale);
• biomass solid fuels (e.g. wood, wood wastes [bark], pellets, energy plants [miscanthus], harvest
wastes [straw] and briquettes);
• municipal waste solid fuels (e.g. garbage, sewage sludge, refuse derived fuels [RDF]);
• industrial waste solid fuels (e.g. petrol coke, soot, tyres, paper wastes, coated wood chips, spent
wood, animal product wastes).
Fuel blends from two or more groups, or fuels of unconventional or unknown quality can require special
safety measures which can be proved either by practical experience gained from comparable fuels, or by
suitable tests, e.g. in accordance with EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011. Such measures specified and
documented by the manufacturer.
Fuels on which the design is documented in the operating instructions (see 11.2). This includes the fuel
data for 100 % input of the basic fuel and the data for any supplementary fuels together with their
maximum thermal input percentage.
1.3 Operation
The requirements for operational equipment in Clause 4, Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8, Clause 9,
Clause 10 and Clause 11 apply to steam boilers and hot water generators with permanent supervision by
properly trained personnel familiar with the special conditions of the firing systems and the type of fuel.

4 Fuel storage facilities with conveying plant
4.1 General
4.1.1 All facilities shall be designed so as to withstand mechanical and thermal stresses. Fuel shall not
be heated to an unacceptable level. Sites where fuel can accumulate shall be avoided.
4.1.2 Conveyance, temporary storage, and extraction of fuel shall be arranged such that blockage is
avoided.
4.1.3 Fuels liable to volatise or pyrolysis in the absence of external heating require measures to prevent
fire, explosion and injuries to personnel.
WARNING — Wet sludges can have an inherent explosion risk due to the release of volatiles (e.g.
methane) when stored. Dried sludges have a fire and dust explosion risk comparable to that of pulverized
fuels. Sludge storage in bins is preferable to bunker storage (see 4.4.1).
4.1.4 The storage of fuels supplied in small grain sized particles or fibres which can be stirred up and
become airborne shall only be permitted in bins (silos).
4.1.5 If different types of fuels are used, dangerous operating conditions due to blending shall be
excluded, e.g. by the use of separate bunkers or bins and separate feeding systems.
4.1.6 If there is a risk of blockage of conveying systems or firing systems by coarse fuel lumps, foreign
matter, and tramp metal, it shall be removed, preferably before entering the bunker.
4.2 Conveying plant
4.2.1 Several continuous conveyors arranged in series to form one conveying line shall be interlocked
such that the normal operation of any conveyor is possible only if the downstream conveyors are in
operation and the storage facility is ready to accept the fuel.
4.2.2 Automatic facilities for open mechanical conveyance and distribution of fuel shall only start after
visual and/or audible warning signals have been given.
Precautions shall be taken for the protection of personnel against injury from moving components.
Sufficient time shall be provided between a warning signal and starting of the plant.
4.2.3 If the type and format of the fuel requires bins (silos) for temporary storage in accordance with
4.1.3 or 4.1.4, subsequent conveyance shall be performed in a closed system, which shall be air-tight if
operated under internal pressure
4.2.4 For pneumatic conveyance of fuel in closed pipes, deposition shall be prevented by sufficient
velocity of the carrier gas depending on the type and format of the fuel.
4.2.5 All piping system components of a pneumatic conveying system shall be capable of being purged
of fuel.
4.2.6 Feeding of fuel into the pneumatic conveying line shall be interlocked in such a way that feeding
is possible only if sufficient carrier gas is supplied. Suitable monitoring devices, e.g. monitors for flow or
pressure of the carrier gas shall be provided.
4.2.7 If the carrier gas is exhausted to the atmosphere via a dust separator, the outlet shall be protected
against contact with ignition sources, or sparks.
4.2.8 If multiple lines are installed, devices shall be provided to isolate idle conveying lines from the
downstream storage facility or the furnace.
4.2.9 If fuels are conveyed hydraulically by pumps, 4.2.3 to 4.2.5 shall apply.
4.3 Fuel bunkers
4.3.1 With exception of bunkers emptied by cranes, fuel bunkers shall be built to achieve uniform
discharge by the selection of proper shape and design, in order to ensure a continuous uniform fuel flow
and to avoid segregation.
4.3.2 To avoid ingress of hot air/gas into the bunker, a minimum fuel level shall be maintained and
monitored in the bunker, or other suitable measures shall be taken.
4.3.3 The inner surface of the fuel bunker roof shall be designed to prevent the accumulation of dust
and gas in dead pockets.
4.3.4 Bunker charging openings shall be guarded to prevent personnel from falling in.
4.3.5 Fuel bunkers shall be equipped with fire fighting or fire prevention equipment. Coal bunkers may
be emptied by use of emergency chutes.
4.4 Fuel bins
4.4.1 Some fuels according to their type and format shall be stored in dust-tight bins (silos). The
requirements for pulverized fuel bins defined in EN 12952-9:2022, 5.4 and 6.2.2 shall apply.
4.4.2 The permissible maximum storage temperature shall be specified for each single fuel and fuel
blends and shall be monitored during the storage, if there is a risk of self ignition.
4.4.3 If emanation of combustible gas from the fuel cannot be prevented, bins shall be equipped with
suitable gas monitoring and safe venting devices, or an explosion-proof bin or inert gas protection shall
be provided.
4.4.4 Fuels described in 4.1.4 shall be stored in bins equipped with a stationary non-freezing fire
extinguishing system to enable fire to be fought without opening access doors. The extinguishing
compound shall be evenly sprayed across the entire cross sectional area of the bin. Spray nozzles shall be
protected against blockage by the ingress of dust. Where stationary spray-type extinguishing systems are
operated automatically, manual initiation shal

記事のタイトル：EN 12952-16:2022 - 水管ボイラーと補助設備 - 第16部：ボイラの固体燃料用グレートおよび流動化床燃焼システムの要件 記事の内容：この文書は、蒸気ボイラや給湯発生器の大気圧流動化床およびグレート燃焼システムに適用されます。これらのシステムは燃料バンカーから始まり、灰抽出プラントで終了します。複数の燃焼システムの組み合わせの場合、各システムの個別の要件が適用されます。特にEN 12952-8:2022およびEN 12952-9:2022で含まれる要件が適用されます。 複数の燃料を同時に燃焼する場合や、燃料の品質が著しく異なる場合（例：水分含有量）には、燃焼システムへの燃料流入の制約や各燃料への適切な空気供給を確保するために、追加の安全対策が必要になる場合があります。 加圧燃焼システムには、本欧州規格では指定されていない追加の安全対策が必要となる場合があります。 この文書は固体燃料の使用をカバーしています。送風式の粉状燃料燃焼システムに関しては、EN 12952-9:2022を参照してください。 カバーされる固体燃料は以下の通りです： - 石炭（褐炭や褐色石炭、硬炭、ピッチ炭、無煙炭、コークス、石炭コルム、石炭スラッジなど） - その他の化石燃料（トーク、オイルシェールなど） - バイオマス固形燃料（木材、木くず［樹皮］、ペレット、エネルギー作物［ミスカンサス］、収穫くず［わら］およびブリケット） - 廃棄物固形燃料（ゴミ、下水汚泥、廃棄物由来燃料［RDF］など） - 産業廃棄物固形燃料（コークス、煙、タイヤ、紙廃棄物、コーティング木チップ、廃材、動物性廃棄物など） 2つ以上のグループからの燃料ブレンドや非伝統的または品質のわからない燃料の場合、製造業者によって特別な安全対策が必要とされる場合があり、これは類似の燃料による実務経験に基づくこともあり、またはEN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011に準拠した適切なテストによって証明されることもあります。 蒸気ボイラや給湯発生器の操作には、燃焼システムと燃料の種類に精通した適切に訓練されたスタッフによる常時監視が必要とされます。ただし、本記事は加圧燃焼システムについて触れず、粉塵燃料燃焼システムに関しては別の欧州規格を参照するよう指示されています。

The article discusses the requirements for grate and fluidized-bed firing systems for solid fuels in water-tube boilers and auxiliary installations. It covers atmospheric fluidized-bed and grate firing systems, from the fuel bunkers to the ash extraction plant. It notes that for combinations of various firing systems, the individual requirements of each system apply. Additional safety measures may be necessary if multiple fuels are burnt simultaneously or if the fuel quality varies significantly. The use of solid fuels is covered, including coal, other fossil solid fuels, biomass solid fuels, municipal waste solid fuels, and industrial waste solid fuels. Fuel blends or unconventional fuels may require special safety measures as determined by the manufacturer. Operational requirements are outlined for steam boilers and hot water generators, which must be supervised by trained personnel familiar with the firing systems and fuel type. However, the article does not cover pressurized firing systems and refers to other European Standards for pulverized fuel fired systems.
