What Does It Mean by Biomass Boiler Cost

Biomass boiler cost calculation method: biomass boiler hourly fuel consumption = boiler heat supply / biomass pellet combustion heat value / boiler combustion efficiency. Different fuels have different calorific values. The heating value of biomass particles is about 4000 kcal, the fuel consumption per hour of a 1 ton biomass boiler is 150 kg / hour, and an average of 150 kg of fuel is required for one ton of steam. The thermal efficiency is between 90%, which is about 3% higher than the boilers in the same industry. It is a cost-effective biomass fueled boiler.

Although biomass boilers cost about 8% more fuel than coal-fired boilers, biomass is mainly burned by volatile substances (wood fibers). After complete combustion, only a small amount of ash is generated, and the boiler can also automatically feed and ash. Slag reduces the cost of boiler workers and does not require equipment such as desulfurization. In order to improve the combustion efficiency, the empty fruit bundle must first be treated with a cutter or the like to form biomass particles. Combustion of empty fruit biomass boilers requires a large amount of fuel. To save fuel transportation costs, power plants are best built in fuel-rich areas.

Biomass boilers are currently the most popular type in the industrial boiler industry and are a very environmentally friendly boiler product. So let’s take a look at its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of biomass boilers:

(1) It is renewable energy. Biomass boiler energy comes from organic matter, plant or animal manure, and combustion provides energy such as heat and electricity. Because they have a source of life, these products may not make biomass boilers renewable.

(3) Reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Using biomass boiler fuel as a backup source to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is better for the planet and more cost-effective.

(4) Easy to obtain. Biomass boilers are cheap and easily available energy. If trees are replaced, biomass boilers can be a long-term, sustainable source of energy.

(5) Reduce landfill sites. By burning biomass boiler energy, we can waste the environment and turn it into something useful.

Disadvantages of biomass boilers;

(1) The initial cost of a biomass boiler is higher than a conventional oil or gas boiler.

(2) Biomass boiler systems usually require a separate storage area than oil or gas-fired boilers, so they require a lot of space.

Biomass boilers are indeed environmentally friendly.
