A method of operating and an arrangement for a steam boiler system including a furnace and along a following flue gas channel a number of superheaters, a number of economizers, and at least one air preheater located in the flue gas channel downstream of the economizers, a fabric filter baghouse located in the flue gas channel downstream of the air preheater, and downstream of the fabric filter baghouse is located a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system including an SCR reactor, a high pressure steam coil heater upstream of the SCR reactor and a gas-gas heat exchanger connected upstream and downstream of the SCR reactor to transfer heat from flue gas after the SCR reactor to the flue gas upstream of the high pressure steam coil heater.

Arrangement for and a method of operating a steam boiler system

A method of reducing sulfur dioxide emissions of a circulating fluidized bed boiler plant. A first stream of sulfur-containing carbonaceous fuel is fed at a first feeding rate to a furnace of the boiler. A second stream of calcium carbonate containing absorbent having a predetermined d50 particle size is fed at a second feeding rate to the furnace. Oxygen containing gas is fed to the furnace for fluidizing a bed of particles forming in the furnace. Fuel is combusted with the oxygen and the sulfur in the fuel is oxidized to sulfur dioxide. The calcium carbonate is calcined to calcium oxide in the furnace. A portion of the calcium oxide is used to sulfate a first portion of the sulfur dioxide to calcium sulfate in the furnace.
