Performance Benchmarking: A Literature Review And Analysis For Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Plants

Abstract

Gaining and maintaining a competitive edge is the key to success in all walks of life, both on the athletic field and in the boardroom.

This research paper will: (1) provide a background on the concept of benchmarking; and (2) present some examples of performance benchmarks for AFBC (atmospheric fluidized bed combustor) steam and power plants resulting from data collected during 1999.
