Abstract

A power plant having a fluidized bed steam boiler for supplying steam for powering a turbine generator comprises low pressure and high pressure feed water heaters, and combustion air heater is provided with a gas turbine for burning sulfur containing fuels, with heat recovery economizers for reducing the exhaust temperature of the gas turbine and directing the exhaust gas from the gas turbine into the fluidized bed for reducing the emissions therein.
