Co-Firing Biomass With Coal Utilizing Water Cooled Vibrating Grate Technology

Published Wednesday, September 1, 1999 by Thomas A. Giaier

Co-firing biomass with coal has been implemented successfully for many years using conventional combustion grate technology for use in the pulp and paper industry for systems ranging in size up to 70 MW. With the application of water cooled vibrating grates, biomass co-firing can be applied for larger utility size systems. This paper discusses benefits both with new boiler installations and issues for retrofit applications. CLICK HERE to read the full article.
