In a preferred case, moisture content may be reduced to around 10-20%.
- the present invention relates to the processing by milling and drying, especially for combustion, of carbonaceous fuel having relatively high moisture content prior to milling, for example low-rank fuels, which term is used herein to refer to those fuels, including fuels sometimes called peat, lignites, brown coals or sub-bituminous coals, or biomass, which have a higher fuel moisture content (typically 25-60% or more) than bituminous coals.

- the process fluid is feedwater for a steam generator and the step of using the process fluid in such manner as to make use of the sensible heat recovered in the heat exchanger, effected in that the sensible heat recovered in the heat exchanger effects preheating of the feedwater.
- the heat exchanger may be any suitable form of direct or indirect heat exchanger of familiar or bespoke design.
- the heat exchange is in the preferred case a process fluid heat exchanger from which sensible heat can be recovered for utilisation within an industrial process, and for example within a steam generation process.
- the method comprises a method of milling and drying of a fuel to produce a pulverous fuel supply in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, and further comprises the additional step of supplying the fuel to a combustion apparatus.
- a combustion apparatus is for example a combustion chamber of a steam generator such as a boiler, for example comprising the boiler of a thermal power plant.

- the method comprises passing the gas phase to a heat exchanger preferably being a process fluid heat exchanger to dry the gas phase, and preferably further comprises using recovered sensible heat from the heat exchanger, for example as a means of heating a process fluid which may be a liquid, gas or mixture, in an additional industrial process.
- the additional industrial process is for example a process of operation of a thermal power plant.
- the process fluid in such a case is for example a process fluid which may be a liquid, gas or mixture used in the operation of a thermal power plant, and is for example feedwater or air.
- an apparatus for milling and drying of a fuel to produce a pulverous fuel supply, which apparatus further comprises a combustion apparatus and a fuel supply conduit to supply the fuel phase comprising the pulverous fuel to the combustion apparatus.
- the combustion apparatus is for example the combustion chamber of a steam generator such as a boiler for example of a thermal power plant and the supply conduit is adapted to supply the fuel phase comprising the pulverous fuel to a combustion chamber within the steam generator.
- the supply conduit is configured to supply the fuel phase directly to one or more burners of the steam generator.

- the proposed system is used in conjunction with the state of the art milling system such as a fan-beater mill.
- the process incorporates the use of a feed water heat recovery heat exchanger to dry the gas phase of fan-beater mill product stream and thereby also to recover at least some of the latent heat input from the drying process.
- Fuel for combustion for example comprising a carbonaceous fuel of relatively high moisture content such as a lignite or other low-rank fuel, is delivered from a fuel supply 2 and combined with a hot gas stream comprising a mixture of cold or preheated air 4 and flue gas 6.
- the mixture is supplied to a beater mill 8 to be milled into pulverous form suitable for combustion.
- the hot gases within the mill dry the fuel to a more suitable state for combustion. For example a moisture content of 25 to 60% is reduced to 5 to 10%.
- Water vapour from the fuel passes into the gas phase. However if the product of the mill is directly transported to the combustion furnace including the water vapour that has been created by drying the fuel this may reduce the process efficiency because the water vapour that has been created by drying the fuel is passed to the combustion furnace.
- the stream that leaves the beater mill is first separated at the phase separator 12 into a pulverised and dried fuel phase, and a gas phase.
- the gas phase is passed through a feed water heat exchanger 10 where the condensation of vapour moisture is carried out.
- This enables the plant to reduce the ID fan power demand, hence increase power plant energy sales. Additionally the process efficiency increases as the gas leaving the power plant will have less moisture and therefore a smaller heat capacity, what will result in less heat being lost through the chimney. Additionally the process efficiency increases as the latent heat consumed by the mill for drying is recovered and transferred to pre-heat the feed water. Importantly, this will reduce the fuel consumption while the power plant output will remain unchanged.
- the pulverised fuel phase substantially denuded of the gas and water vapour mixture, is passed to the burners 13 of a combustion furnace 14 of a steam generator.
- the pulverised fuel phase is supplied directly.
- Figure 2 is an example system for the indirect supply of pulverous fuel to a silo 11 for onward supply to the burners 13 of a combustion chamber 14 of a steam generator.
- the steam generator may be on any suitable conventional or bespoke design.
- the dried fuel product separated from the gas phase in separator is passed directly to the burners for combustion in combustion furnace as presented on figure 1 , or is safely stored in intermediate storage device (i.e. silo) and then transferred to the burners for combustion as presented on figure 2 .
- intermediate storage device i.e. silo
- current invention could be used to dry the raw fuel and store the product for transportation (i.e. shipping) and combustion on remote location.
