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.
A fire tube steam boiler is a boiler where the combustion gases from the burner are channeled through tubes that are surrounded by the fluid to be heated. The boiler body is the pressure vessel and contains the fluid. In most cases, this fluid is water that will circulate for heating purposes or become steam for use in processing.
Each set of tubes through which the combustion gas passes, before making a turn, is considered a "step". Consequently, a three-step boiler will have three sets of pipes with the outlet located at the rear of the boiler.
A typical system includes the heater, circulation pump, expansion tank, and the user's process. Depending on the temperature requirements and the system design control valves may also be utilized.
A biomass boiler is a boiler designed to burn solid fuels classed as biomass. Such boilers can be supplied to burn every form of biomass from woodchips, wood pellets or logs to waste agricultural materials such as straw and grain husks, olive kernels, rice and the dust from any of these including sawdust. Boilers need to be designed to burn specific materials, with any given boiler able to burn a limited range of biomass.
ZOZEN biomass-fired boiler has wide fuel adaptability, is suitable for a wide variety of biomass fuels including biomass particle, wood chips, palm shell, straw and so on. The engineering technique personnel of ZOZEN optimized the design of the feeding hopper, the length and width of the fire grate, rotary speed of gearbox, 1st and 2nd air ratio, vapor orientation and position, etc; the above upgrades ensure the high thermal efficiency and stable operation of the boiler.
