Figure 16.9. Effect of co-firing on boiler energy efficiency based on a fixed fuel flow rate.
temperature decreases. At a 30% co-firing ratio, the boiler energy efficiency decreases to 86.18%
and 84.19% for blends of bituminous coal/refuse derived fuel and lignite/refuse derived fuel,
respectively.
