The fuel for biomass boilers can be various organic waste and plant materials, such as shavings, sawdust, hemp straw, rice husks, etc.
1, Fuel types for biomass boilers
There are a wide variety of fuels for biomass boilers, which can be various organic waste and plant materials. Common biomass fuels include:
1. Wood waste such as wood, sawdust, shavings, etc;
2. Crop residues such as straw, reed, rice straw, and hemp straw;
3. Biomacromolecular materials such as starch and oil waste;
4. Biogas, feces and other animal and plant excreta;
5. Urban household waste such as household waste and kitchen waste.
2, Characteristics of Biomass Fuel
Compared with traditional energy, biomass fuel has lower calorific value, higher ash content, more volatile matter, lower ignition point, and is flammable. But it also has many advantages:
1. Biomass fuel is a renewable energy source, with low environmental pollution and emissions from combustion;
2. Biomass fuel has a wide range of sources, low cost, and relatively stable prices;
3. Biomass fuel does not require high-intensity chemical processing and treatment, making it easy to obtain and process.
3, Application scenarios of biomass fuels
Biomass fuel can be widely used in various fields such as building heating, industrial hot water and steam supply, and power generation. Meanwhile, biomass fuel can also be used as a substitute for coal and natural gas, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating negative environmental impacts.
4, Commonly used biomass fuel - sawdust
Wood chips are a common type of biomass fuel. It is a byproduct of wood processing, which can be granulated by a sawdust granulator to become easily transported and burned sawdust particles. Due to its easy availability, low processing cost, and minimal environmental impact, wood chips are widely used in biomass boilers, industrial boilers, and other fields.
In summary, biomass boilers have a wide range of fuel types, including various organic waste and plant materials. Biomass fuel, as a renewable energy source, not only has low environmental pollution, but also has relatively stable prices and high application value.
