In this paper, we discuss the technical measures in the design of 1000 MW boiler for burning high-slagging-propensity coal. The design and check coal samples are relatively low in heating values, and exhibit high to severe slagging propensity based on several existing slagging indices. Then the key issues for boiler design are discussed.
