Abstract:
Biomass combustion exhibits relatively high emissions of NOx and particulates in comparison to the combustion of natural gas or light fuel oil. Emissions of pollutants from residential biomass combustion appliances vary over a wide range depending on the combustion technology, and fuels used. Investigations on particle emissions showed that well-designed and properly-operated advanced technology automatic wood combustion plants achieve a high combustion quality, which results in low emissions of uncombusted hydrocarbons and soot. More detailed information on combustion behavior can be obtained from the flue gas analysis. This work is aimed to deep the relationship between particle emissions and combustion conditions. Emissions were measured during a combustion process in a 80 kW boiler equipped with a multicyclone filter for particle abatement.
