How to Retrofit a 10-Ton Coal-Fired Boiler to Burn Wood Chips?

An energy company recently consulted us on selecting the right equipment to retrofit their 10-ton coal-fired boiler for wood chips. First and foremost, equipment selection depends heavily on the fuel type and specific operational conditions.If you’re considering a similar retrofit for your project, here’s a starting point: before seeking consultation, please assess your current fuel costs and the local price of biomass fuel. A retrofit plan is worth developing only if there is a clear energy-saving potential.

Biomass Heating: Is Gasification or Direct Combustion Better?

We frequently receive this question from clients both domestically and internationally. In terms of efficiency, direct combustion of biomass is actually the most efficient method. In some regions, there are no mandatory requirements to adopt cleaner combustion technologies like gasification. If your country has specific regulations or requirements, please contact us for a one-on-one consultation with our energy advisors to discuss the optimal solution for your specific situation.
