Wood Chip for Fired Boilers - Energy - Bioenergy
There are several, different technologies for the combustion of wood chips. Wood chip-fired boilers are usually operating in a high performance area (for example underfeed stokers are available from lOkW to 2.5MW and grate furnaces are available up to 60MW). Therefore wood chip-fired boilers are often used in industrial applications. However, also farmers and/or forest owners operate these boilers either in communities or alone.
Description
The fuel (wood chips) can be fed automatically into the combustion chamber. The requirements on fuel quality vary much between large scale and small scale boilers . This is because industrial plants are different in structure and use other combustion technologies. These are usually grate-firing systems which are less vulnerable to disorders than smaller plants.
