European technology has come stateside with a new biomass boiler system at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in Finland. The center, whose mission is to provide an environmental education to ...

Advances in pellet combustion and control automation have recently positioned wood-pellet-fired biomass boilers as economical alternatives to traditional boilers. Their targeted use promises distinct ...

Compared with other solid fuel–fired plants, the systems and components required for handling and processing biomass appear quite familiar, but important fuel differences must be considered. A ...

It seems that our ancestors may have been on to something when they burned wood as fuel. A new study by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has found that burning biomass is far cheaper, more ...

FORKS — School staff are already enjoying the benefits of the forced-air heating system installed in preparation for the new biomass boiler system at Forks Middle School. The forced-air system now ...

Biomass has many advantages as a fuel for boilers: It’s inexpensive, readily available in many regions, CO 2 neutral, and its use warrants government subsidies. The fuel also presents unique concerns ...

Even though it's considered a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, biomass is still not one of the most common forms of domestic heating systems, which is why I'm often asked – 'what's it like to ...

Across many industries, biomass boilers are being adopted to replace or complement coal and heavy-oil systems, providing renewable heat and helping companies meet tightening environmental policies.

A US-Chinese research group has developed a hybrid system proposal based on photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) modules, a heat pump, a backup electric boiler, and biomass generating units. They say it could ...

RIB MOUNTAIN — The chalet at Nine Mile County Forest Recreation Area is now being heated by a cost-effective and clean-burning biomass boiler system, thanks in part to a state grant that helped fund ...

From an engineering perspective, a water tube boiler is defined by the fact that water or steam–water mixture flows inside the tubes while high-temperature flue gas passes outside the tubes. In ...
