Can Biomass Steam Boiler Be Used for Power Generation
Coal fired boilers used to take up a big part in thermal power plant, however, the power plants are facing an increasingly competitive global circumstance, and global warming, serious pollution force them to seek more green and cost-effective plants. Biomass fired steam boiler is likely to be used by small factories for self power generation.
industrial biomass boiler
Compared to the high and uncertain gas oil energy price, biomass energy, mostly from agro and forest by-product, like rice husk, bagasse, straw, coconut shell, wood pellet, wood chips, cotton stalk, is abundant and economic. EIA predicts that by 2020, biomass will produce 0.3 percent of the projected 5,476 billion kilowatt hours of total generation.
A 20 ton biomass fired boiler can supply sufficient power for a small and medium factory. What’s more, it has advantages over other industrial boiler in electricity.
Green biomass power plant boiler
Biomass is a renewable fuel, low carbon and cleaner than fossil fuels. Using a biomass power plant boiler can at least annually reduce CO2 emission 16100 ton, dust emission 150 ton, SO2 80 ton and NOx 70 ton.
Low cost biomass boiler for power generation
In general, a biomass boiler has a high efficiency above 80%, this largely saves boiler fuel cost. It can save manual cost as well, for example, 20 ton biomass power plant boiler, is convenient to feed in, clean and maintenance, a traditional power boiler may need 4 operator, but only one person is enough for it, it significantly release labor intensity and cost.
