A lab scale cyclonic combustor is in developmental stage for firing coal-biomass blends. The lab scale test rig would be used to support a study of coal-biomass co-combustion in a selected real pulverized coal, tangentially fired power plant. The conceptual design is made similar to the two-stage in...
