Abstract

The invention relates to a PFBC power plant comprising a bed vessel (12) which is divided into a first section (14) and a second section (16) by a vertical partition (17) which reaches up to the upper wall of the bed vessel (12) so that freeboards (86 and 46, respectively), which are separated from each other, are formed. The first section (14) of the bed vessel (12) forms a gas generator in which a burnable gas is generated. This burnable gas is cleaned in a gas cleaner (90) and is burnt in a secondary combustion chamber (98) and is mixed with the combustion gases from the second section (16) of the bed vessel (12) and raises the temperature of the gas supplied to a gas turbine to an optimum level for the gas turbine.
