There is a need for today’s power plants to meet the growing demand for electricity while, at the same time, achieving efficient combustion, low emissions and no net CO2 releases into the environment.

For those who want to burn cordwood, modern wood-gasification boilers offer mid-80 percent steady-state combustion efficiencies and full-cycle efficiencies in the 70-75 percent range. This is much ...

Optimizing combustion control is critical to reducing emissions and increasing plant operating efficiency, particularly for fluidized bed combustion (FBC) boiler plants burning biomass fuel that has ...

The co-combustion of biomass and coal in utility boilers has been proven an effective and cost-efficient method for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Those benefits come with serious technical ...

Controlling excess combustion air and unburned carbon losses is the key to finding the sweet spot in this biomass boiler approach. Bagasse, a renewable biomass fuel, is the fibrous residue remaining ...
