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.
Biomass steam boilers recover the heat generated during the biomass combustion process to heat the water in the boiler exchanger circuit. The hot water is then diverted to the heating circuit.
Occasionally it is necessary to remove the ashes generated by biomass combustion and clean the burner.
Many situations require one or more back-up boilers, especially those involving residential accommodation. A properly designed and installed biomass boiler will be as reliable as a fossil fuelled boiler, and in this respect the usual rules for specifying back-up boilers should be applied. However, as a biomass boiler is rarely sized to meet the peak load, the back-up boiler usually acts as a peak-topping boiler as well. Hence, it is usual for back-up boilers to be sized to meet the peak load.
We would recommend your biomass boiler has at least an annual maintenance service. Like anything if you maintain your boiler correctly it will last longer and perform better. Biomass boilers burning even the most difficult of materials can operate unattended, but weekly inspection visits are required to carry out a visual inspection of the boiler and fuel feed system, to check the lubrication of bearings and to empty the ashbin.
As a large enterprise specializing in manufacturing boilers, ZOZEN...
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.
1. Rational air distribution, supply sufficient and rational air by region; 2. Appropriate furnace temperature;3. Suitable air turbulence and mixing in furnace;4. Fuels remain long enough on chain grate and in the furnace;5. Keep a reasonable distance between the fuel hopper and the flame fronts to avoid igniting fuels in the hopper.The biomass-fired boilers are optimally designed according to the characteristics of different biomass fuels. ZOZEN will customize the biomass-fired boiler for ...
Question details (Performance):There is no feeding machine between hopper and # 0A/B belt, which causes unstable feeding and feeding amount cannot be controlled, during running, big amount material presses on belts which affect normal operation of the belt.Answer: The cause of the problem: Because the toughness of the biomass fuel is bigger, the proportion is small, material level should not be too high, otherwise it will occur block, so conveying system is normally running 24 hours, moving parts are easy to wear and cause high failure rate; also the length of the cut grass is difficult to guarantee its length between 8 ~ 15cm, and it is easy to get stuck in the feed machine before the furnace and it is difficult to clean, which has a great impact on the load of the boiler. Troubleshooting: 1. To reduce wearing and expand the service life of equipment, general motor adopts variable frequency motor, slow down the running speed, to control the rate of fuel feeding, make material's stacki
Question details (Performance):Dust collecting cloth bag damages a lot. Answer: The cause of the problem: As the biomass-fired boiler fuel moisture is high, and bag material is general PPS, which will reduce the base fabric of the bag in the case of high temperature, high humidity, hydrolysis, oxidation, and cause damage; In addition, the fuel moisture is high and it cannot be completely burned in the furnace, so it burns in the dust collector, which is also an important reason for the damage of the cloth bag.Troubleshooting:(1) Design by full consideration of high fuel moisture, choosing the appropriate induced draft fan, if the existing design is not enough then consider change the induced draft fan.(2) If induced air volume is sufficient, a proper distribution of the first and second wind should be considered. Generally, the fuel with high moisture and light quality such as wood chips, straw and wheat straw hood, the secondary air volume should be increased. For bark, miscellaneous
