A well designed and operated biomass boiler burning fuel within the specification of the boiler should not produce any smoke, but black smoke may be produced if the fuel is too wet for the boiler. All biomass boilers produce some oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particularly nitrogen dioxide (NO2). While NOx emissions from gas boilers have been reduced significantly in recent years through the use of low NOx burners which burn at a temperature slightly below that at which NOx forms, the nature of biomass combustion, and the need to ensure the complete combustion of wood gases, means that combustion takes place at a temperature where atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen can chemically combine. The better the quality of the combustion control system on a biomass boiler, the lower the NOx emissions will be. In general, biomass boilers produce less NOx than oil boilers. Biomass boilers do not produce any oxides of sulphur (SOx).
The slag produced by a biomass-fired boiler can be reused to avoid energy waste and environmental pollution. There are many ways to reuse the slag. For example, the slag can be used to improve soil and improve soil performance. If it contains potassium carbonate and organic matter, it can also be used to produce compound fertilizers. In addition, the slag is a kind of plant ash, it is also a good thermal insulation material for steelmaking.
Drying the moisture in the fuel of a biomass-fired boiler is important to ensure efficient combustion and prevent issues such as fuel bridging, clumping, and poor boiler performance. Here are some methods that can be used to dry the moisture in biomass fuel:
1. Sun drying: This method involves spreading the biomass fuel, such as wood chips or sawdust, in a thin layer in a sunny, well-ventilated area. The sun's heat and wind will help to evaporate the moisture in the fuel.
2. Fo...
High exhaust temperature in a biomass-fired boiler can be caused by several factors, including:
1. Insufficient air supply: If there is not enough air supplied to the combustion chamber, the fuel may not burn completely, resulting in high exhaust temperatures.
2. Excessive fuel supply: Excessive fuel supply can overload the boiler, causing incomplete combustion and high exhaust temperatures.
3. Improper combustion: Improper combustion can lead to incomplete fuel burning and high exhaust tempe...
A biomass-fired boiler furnace that has multiple issues such as wall cracks, deformation, coking, and tilt, loose bricks, tube wall blockage, burned-out rock wool sealing, and combustion chamber wall damage requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and potential safety hazards.
Firstly, it is recommended to shut down the boiler immediately to prevent any further damage and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. The boiler should not be restarted until all necessary repa...
Hot-water boiler is a kind of thermal equipment that uses the heat energy released by fuel combustion or other heat energy (such as electric energy, solar energy, etc.) to heat water to the rated temperature. According to different fuels, hot water boilers can be divided into gas-fired hot water boilers, oil-fired hot water boilers, biomass-fired hot water boilers, and coal-fired hot water boilers. How to choose hot water boiler? We will focus on the heating, pressure and thermal efficiency of hot water boiler.
For the dust removal of biomass boiler, centralized or decentralized dust removal system are generally selected according to the process flow, and available dust can be recovered as much as possible under the conditions of process permission. The core of dust removal system is various types of dust collectors, including bag filter, electrostatic filter and electric bag filter.
Woodchips are small to medium-sized pieces of wood formed by cutting or chipping larger pieces of wood such as trees, branches, logging residues, stumps, roots, and wood waste. Woodchips may be used as a biomass solid fuel and are raw material for producing wood pulp.
