Abstract

A boiler performs mixed-fuel combustion of a sulfur-containing fuel and ammonia as a fuel, and includes a furnace having a plurality of wall parts, a burner installed on at least one of the wall parts of the furnace, and an ammonia injection port that is configured to cause the ammonia to be burned as the fuel to flow along an inner wall surface of the wall part where the burner is not installed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A boiler which performs mixed-fuel combustion of a sulfur-containing fuel and ammonia, the boiler comprising:
a furnace having a plurality of wall parts;
a burner installed on at least one of the wall parts of the furnace and configured to inject into the furnace and burn the sulfur-containing fuel and a first portion of the ammonia; and
an ammonia injection port that is configured to cause a second portion of the ammonia to flow and be burned along an inner wall surface of the wall part.

2. The boiler according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wall parts of the furnace include
a front wall on which the burner is installed,
a rear wall on which the burner is installed, and which is disposed to face the front wall, and
a side wall which connects the front wall and the rear wall to each other, and on which the burner is not installed, and

the ammonia injection port is provided on at least one of the front wall and the rear wall, and disposed closer to the side wall than the burner in a horizontal direction.

3. The boiler according to claim 2 ,
wherein the ammonia injection port is configured to inject the first portion of the ammonia in a direction in which the burner injects the sulfur-containing fuel and the second portion of the ammonia.

4. The boiler according to claim 2 ,
wherein the ammonia injection port is further installed on the side wall, in addition to the at least one of the front wall and the rear wall.

5. The boiler according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wall parts of the furnace include a hopper wall that is narrowed toward a discharge port through which ash is discharged outward, and
the ammonia injection port is configured to cause the second portion of the ammonia to flow along an inner wall surface of the hopper wall.
