Abstract: The circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion technology was started in 1980 in China. With more than 35 years’ research and development, the design principle of CFB boiler has been mastered, and the product series have been developed from small capacity with low steam parameters to large one with supercritical parameters, covering the Chinese market and exporting to overseas. Due to the inconstant coal property and the increasingly strict emission standard in China, the Chinese scientists and engineers have made breakthroughs in the gas-solid two phase pattern in the traditional CFB technology and developed the second generation CFB combustion technology, which is of higher reliability and lower electric power consumption of forced fans. And the third generation CFB boiler is being developed.

Key words: circulating fluidized bed (CFB), development, ultra low emission
