Method of improving the conveying properties of a particulate fuel in a fluidized bed combustion plant and a combustion plant for carrying out the method. The improved conveying properties are achieved by at least surface drying of the fuel. A calcium-containing bed material is withdrawn from the bed under such conditions that the bed material is calcined to form CaO. The withdrawn bed material is crushed and mixed with fuel, whereby the CaO absorbs water from the fuel in an exoergic reaction forming calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The heat released by this reaction evaporates moisture from the fuel. The fuel particles will have reduced surface moisture which reduces the risk of clogging during the pneumatic feeding of the fuel to a combustion chamber. Due to the intimate contact between the fuel particles and the crushed bed material, the tendency towards reaction between sulfer in the fuel and the bed material is increased. To intensify the drying process drying gas may be supplied while mixing fuel with the withdrawn bed material. |
