The Grimethorpe Pressurised Fluidised-Bed Combustion Project

Dr S.J. Wright donated to the J.B. Priestley Library a set of the research reports generated by the Pressurised Fluidised-Bed Combustion Project, which was based in the Experimental Facility at Grimethorpe (near Barnsley, South Yorkshire). The collection also includes relevant conference proceedings and reports.

The Project aimed to provide a facility for investigating pressurised fluidised-bed combustion (PFBC) systems under different operating conditions. The facility became operational in 1980 and for the next 12 years produced valuable experimental data for three phases of experiments : under the International Energy Agency, then the National Coal Board and Central Electricity Generating Board and finally the Grimethorpe Topping Cycle project.

Further information about this collection is available in two formats : as a PDF file or as a collection-level entry on the Library catalogue. Please note that the collection is not yet fully catalogued, so access is limited. For more information, please contact the Special Collections staff.
