Today's plant for the conversion of biomass fuel into energy should be designed to meet the stringent technical, environmental and financial demands of tomorrow. At Saxlund we have this knowledge and we utilise a number of patents within our system design.
Since the combustion chamber is the heart of any energy system, Saxlund International has applied many years of experience along with sophisticated research and development to produce the most efficient and environmentally friendly combustion system available today.
Because a biomass combustion system relies upon its fuel feeding and other auxiliary systems, Saxlund International is able to supply high quality bulk material handling fuel and ash systems that have a proven track record the world over.
Reliable and modulating outputs are available in hot gas, hot water, steam or thermal oil or any combination from 2 - 50 MWth capacity. Biomass from wet bark through to dry wood dust is used as the fuel type. Emission levels are achieved to meet the most stringent EU legislation.
Benefits
- The new patented grate bars may be rotated to double their service life.
- Grate side cooling prevents slag formation which means less maintenance.
- The grate bars are machined to tight tolerances and then bolted together to give a uniform air flow over the entire grate resulting in better combustion and no hot spots.
- Stable combustion can be achieved even at very low outputs.
- The grate design is modular; it can be retrofitted easily into existing boilers or furnaces
- All actuators are placed at the front of the grate. This means that there is no maximum width limitation.
- When combined with the patented fuel feed system, the whole grate is only used for combustion, not feeding fuel. This means the heat release is maximized.
