Two kinds of dried sludge pellets of municipal sewage sludge, produced by the Indirect Multi-Stage Tray Sludge Dryer Pelletier, were fired in a pulverized coal combustion test furnace (thermal input of fuel: 760 kW). Gas compositions and temperature at the furnace outlet and in the furnace were analyzed, and the unburned carbon in fly ash was also measured. The results are compared with those of a bituminous coal combustion test. The combustion efficiencies of the dried sludge pellets of municipal sewage sludge are higher than that of the bituminous coal. The NO
X conversion ratios (NO
X concentration at the furnace outlet / NO
X concentration when all the nitrogen in the fuel converts into NO
X) of the pellets are extremely lower than that of the bituminous coal. The temperature distributions of the pellets are different from that of the bituminous coal. The gas composition distributions are also different from that of the bituminous coal.
