What is it about?
The paper introduces the artificial neural network (ANN) approach for the prediction of SO2 emissions from CFB boilers. The model considers a wide range of parameters influencing SO2 emissions. The [16-1-6-1] ANN model was successfully applied to predict SO2 emissions from coal combustion in several large- and small-scale CFB boilers, over a wide range of operating conditions, both in air-firing as well as oxygen-enriched and oxycombustion conditions.

Why is it important?
Since the method constitutes a quick and easy to run technique this approach makes a complementary tool in relation to the experimental procedures and the programmed computing approach. The ANN model is time-efficient to run and therefore can be easily applied for calculations of SO2 concentration in the flue gas via the, so-called, non-iterative procedure. The model can be also applied as a submodel or a separate module in engineering calculations to predict SO2 emissions from coal combustion in CFB units.
