1. Sufficient furnace temperature: Sufficient fuel combustion of biomass-fired boilers firstly requires high furnace temperature. The temperature should meet the requirements of sufficient fuel combustion. Besides, the combustion speed is required to be proportional to the temperature. Moreover, the furnace temperature should be raised as much as possible on the premise that slag is not formed in the furnace.
Firstly, the combustion of biomass fuel is easy to control. The fuel is easy to ignite. Besides, the combustion speed is faster than that of coal.
Secondly, the biomass-fired boiler can be ignited and extinguished at any time while the coal-fired boiler cannot. The biomass-fired boiler can also be ignited automatically.
Thirdly, the biomass-fired boiler can achieve zero emission of sulfur dioxide, which belongs to environment-friendly boilers.
The temperature of flue gas generated by a biomass-fired boiler is relatively high. But it is not corrosive. So, it is suitable to use heat resisting glass fiber needled felt bag which has a good use effect. Moreover, this kind of cloth bag is not very expensive.
1. The fuel volume is 1 / 30 ~ 40 of the raw material volume after molding;
2. The specific gravity is 10-15 times of the raw material, and the moisture content is between 12% and 18% (the moisture content of coal is below 10-15);
3. The net calorific value can reach 3500-4500 kcal (the net calorific value of class II bituminous coal is 3700-4700 kcal / kg);
4. The ash content is less than 10% (the ash content of coal is more than 20%);
5. Volatile matter ≥ 65.62% (volatile matter of class II bituminous coal≥20%).
6. Biomass fuel belongs to renewable clean energy, which is the same as wind energy and solar energy. The biomass fuel is rich in resources, it can ensure the sustainable use of energy.
7. The sulfur content and nitrogen content of biomass fuel are low, the amount of SOx and NOx generated in the combustion process is low.
ASME code – also known by its longer name: ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code – regulates the design, development, and manufacturing of boilers used in a variety of industries and applications.
This code was developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, an organization that has been around for well over 100 years and is focused on establishing safety codes and standards for mechanical equipment.
Within the industrial heating industry, ASME code is the established standard that many pieces of equipment are built to.
Heating systems that adhere to the specifications set forth by ASME code have been constructed according to guidelines intended to promote safety and quality. As such, heating equipment that is ASME code compliant has been thoroughly inspected to assure that it meets high safety and quality standards.
Today's businesses, regardless of industry, can always do more to improve their sustainability and limit the negative impact their actions have on the environment. There are a number of ways to do this, but one of the best is to use a boiler that's designed to limit the emissions of NOx — one of the most harmful greenhouse gases humans emit into the atmosphere. Aside from being good for the environment, a low NOx boiler can also be good for business.
Wood fuel has several environmental advantages compared with fossil fuels. Wood can be continually replenished, which leads to a sustainable and dependable supply. However, proper forest management must be practiced to ensure that growing conditions are not degraded during biomass production.
There is little net production of carbon dioxide from wood combustion, because the CO2 generated during combustion of wood equals the CO2 consumed during the lifecycle of the tree. Transporting the material using petroleum generates excess CO2.
The main sectors in which industrial steam boilers are used are:
Food, in industrial bakeries or baby food (as an example)
Textile, in rotary dryers
Chemical, for reactors or storage
Pharmaceutical, for the manufacture of medicines
Cosmetics, for the production of perfumes and creams
Stationery and printing, in drying tunnels
The cement industry, for the manufacture of cement parts
Oil, for the storage and distribution of heavy oils
Wood, involved in the process of melanin production
Hospitals and hotels, especially in the laundry and kitchen areas
Automotive and surface treatment, for the final metal finishing.
