How to select the right thermal fluid heater for your plant can be a tough task. With so many industrial heating equipment manufacturers and heater models on the market, it can be difficult to narrow down your options and make a decision.
It’s probably going to be tough to focus your full, uninterrupted attention on the task of choosing a new industrial thermal fluid heater for a long stretch of time. You’re going to need to make the best decision possible for your plant qui...
EPA has promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from three major source categories: Industrial boilers, commercial and institutional boilers, and process heaters. The final emission standards for control of mercury, hydrogen chloride, particulate matter (as a surrogate for non-mercury metals), and carbon monoxide (as a surrogate for organic hazardous emissions) from coal-fired, biomass-fired, and liquid-fired major source boilers are based on the maximum achievable control technology. In addition, all major source boilers and process heaters are subject to a work practice standard to periodically conduct tune-ups of the boiler or process heater.
Today, there are two main types of green boilers used in different industries: biomass boilers and condensing boilers. Each of these operates in completely different ways to reduce your carbon footprint.
Biomass Boilers
Biomass boilers operate by burning wood and other renewable organic materials to produce heat. There are automatic biomass boilers that control the amount of air and fuel that is used, making them even more efficient. To keep this boiler running, owners will need ample ...
Agglomeration problem mainly occurs on the fireside in the fluidized bed boilers. Agglomeration is basically the ash-related problem of biomass-fired boilers. Ashes which are formed from high-sulfur and low-ash fuel agglomerate if they are prone to sulfating condition for long time.
We have briefly covered the fuel that is used for biomass heating already, but there are more details that will help you decide on which is best for you and your requirements. It is important to think about which biomass boiler fuel will work well for your home, as well as the logistics of sourcing your fuel on a regular basis. Let’s take a look at the main types of biomass fuel below:
The integration of a biomass system is relatively simple. In most cases the systems are retro fitted and replace a fossil fuel boiler. The biomass boiler replaces the existing fossil fuel boiler, but the downstream heating system will remain the same, so there is no need to replace the radiators or whatever emitters are in place.
From wood burning to pellet-firing biomass, alternative fuel boilers and solid fuel fired boilers offer environmentally friendly energy options and cost efficiencies. With the push to become less reliant on fossil fuels, alternative fuel boilers provide a way for plant managers to save money on fuel sources as well as meet tightening emission regulation standards.
