Abstract
Steam is generated in a controlled manner as a function of the steam demand by way of a combustor adapted to burn a fuel such as high sulfur coal in a fluidized bed. The steam demand and the steam available to supply the demand are modulated to change the rate of production of steam as a function of controlling the fluidization of fuel beds and/or the height of fuel in the beds. Any fuel beds which are slumped are maintained at a temperature slightly above the flash point temperature of the fuel.
