Project Description:
Proposes to research the feasibility of developing a flexible low emissions biomass combustor for renewable fuels that are poorly formed, inconsistently sized and contain high moisture.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A prototype test combustor.
§ Feasibility analysis based on performance and economic evaluation of prototype.
Anticipated Benefits:
§
Potential cost effective and environmentally clean
solution to converting low value biomass materials to useful electrical energy.
§ Potential to reduce the cost of biomass combustion by 30% relative to grate based and fluidized bed systems.
