16 EFFICIENT WOOD ENERGY

17 Combustion of High Moisture Content Fuel

18 Wood / Biomass Combustion Wood Carbon: ~ 50% Volatile: >85% CV: 4 to 17 GJ/t Coal Carbon: 80 to 90% Volatile: 10 to 40% CV: 18 to >30 GJ/t

19 Efficient Wood Combustion Systems 4 Stages Temperature Air and gas staging Turbulence Gas residence time Sufficient air Adiabatic conditions Heat load Drying Gasification Combustion De-ashing < 800 C in gasification zone, and > 850 C in combustion zone PA, SA, TA & FGR zones = low NOx when mixing gas with oxygen - secondary and tertiary air, not primary air! > 2 seconds in high temperature zone > 850 C but <1,000 C Oxygen / Lambda < 1 in gasification zone, and 1.2 to 1.6 after combustion (low CO) No cold surfaces in the gasification and combustion zone = refractory Low thermal load on furnace and grate

20 Efficient Wood Energy Plants Combustion air temperature! Moisture Content! Flue gas temperature! Flue gas recirculation! Radiation losses! Excess O2! Ash unburned carbon! Carbon monoxide! ƞ Control System!
