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.
After combustion, biomass-fired boiler fuel will generate energy and also produce some combustible matter in fly ash which will have bad influence on the surrounding environment. Therefore, in order to realize the goal of environmental protection, we should reduce the generation of combustible matter in fly ash in biomass-fired boiler fuel.
Biomass-fired boilers are increasingly popular due to their renewable and sustainable fuel source. However, like any combustion process, biomass boilers do produce emissions, including smoke and other gases, which can have environmental and health impacts if not properly managed.
What Are Biomass-Fired Boilers?Biomass boilers use organic materials, such as wood chips, pellets, or agricultural waste, as fuel to generate heat or electricity. They are considered more eco-friendly compared to fossi...

When it comes to industrial and residential heating solutions, countries often have specific regulations and standards in place to ensure safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Understanding these regulations can provide a clear pathway for individuals and businesses when considering a new boiler installation or upgrade.
1. Regulatory Standards for Boilers
Many countries adopt their boiler regulations based on international standards, ensuring that boilers are safe, reli...
Industrial boiler is an important thermal power equipment, but in recent years, due to large emissions and serious pollution, substandard industrial boilers have become the focus of governance. Biomass pellet boiler is popularized because of its green, low-carbon and clean economy. The thermal efficiency of biomass pellet boiler is related to the economic benefits of enterprises, and users pay special attention to it. What is the thermal efficiency of biomass pellet boiler?
Thermal effi...
With the price increase of natural gas and the restriction of gas pipelines in remote areas, the same green biomass boiler effectively fills the vacancy of gas boiler, and more and more enterprises choose biomass boiler for production and heating. So what are the advantages of biomass boiler?
