Combined heat and power station Roemerbruecke ZWO

Design and construction of the Heizkraftwerk Roemerbruekke ZWO (Combined Heat and Power Station) in Saarbruecken are based on special conception, as - due to its location in the middle of the city center - special attention had to be paid to environmental protection as well as to the incorporation of the city construction. A circofluid fluidized bed combustor with coal as fuel guarantees a low environmental load and an architecture for the incorporation of the city construction which suits the cityscape. The paper describes in detail the conception and the technical construction of the combined heat and power station. The authors discuss in full questions concerning fluidized bed combustion, preventive measures for emission, fuel supply, heat output and further areas.
