 Wood pellets steam ahead
September 1st 2010
Byworth Boilers has designed and
manufactured an industrial steam
boiler that is fired on wood pellets
and which is a fully self
contained mobile unit
available for lease.
Commissioned by CO2
Sense Yorkshire, as part
of its woodfuel
programme, the boiler
plant is enabling
organisations to try out
the new technology
before committing to
capital outlay.
The boiler is a Yorkshireman
2.0mW (3189kg/hour), 150 psi, 3 pass
steam boiler purely firing on wood
pellets fed via a Proctor chain grate
stoker. The mobile plant also includes
storage silo for the pellets, screws for
pellet feed and ash extraction, and a
multicyclone grit arrestor along with
normal boiler ancillaries
such as hotwell feed tank,
and blowdown receiver.
Peter Baldwin,
Byworth's managing
director commented,
"This boiler is a compact
design compared with
other biomass fuelled
boilers, without
compromising efficiency.
Operation is simple and
daily maintenance is minimal due to
the low ash content and the consistent
nature of wood pellets as a fuel." More articles from Byworth Boilers: |
