چکیده

Co-combustion of biosolids with coal or other biomass fuel can play a significant role in combustion facilities for energy production and waste management policy context. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the use of biosolids for co-combustion with wood pellets in a wood pellet stove. Fuel property, gas emissions and stove efficiency are compared. In regard to fuel properties, proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and heating values are determined and emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) are measured and compared. Pilot scale combustion tests revealed that cocombustion of 10% biosolids with 90% wood pellets resulted in successful combustion without any significant degradation of efficiency and emissions. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions were found to be proportional with the N2 content in the fuel. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions were negligible. Index TermBiosolids, co-combustion, wood pellet stove, performance and emissions.

Small Scale Pilot Combustion Experiments with Wood Pellets – The Effect of Pellet Length

The primary objective of this study was to observe the effect of pellet length on utility and combustion temperature. Pellets with various lengths were combusted in a pellet stove. Pellet length was found to have a significant effect on the combustion temperature and stability. Increasing the length of pellets from 5.8mm to 13.1mm decreased the average burning temperature by 31% and flue gas te...

Combustion of pellets from wheat straw

The alternative energy sources are more and more used for production of heat. Several new combustion devices allow co-firing of different fuels, like dendromass and phytomass. The article analyses combustion of wood and straw pellets in the same boiler. Measurements were realized in two automatic heat sources – one is adapted to burn pellets made from wood or straw and another allows only burni...

Emission of PCDD/F, PCB, and HCB from combustion of firewood and pellets in residential stoves and boilers.

To assess potential emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) from residential combustion of biofuels, experiments were performed in which various types of pellets and firewood were combusted in four types of stoves and boilers, with both full and reduced rates of air supply. Inter...
