Biomass Handling Plant:
With increase in the number of power housed shifting completely or partially from conventional coal-firing Boilers to business based boilers. There is a huge demand of handling this biomass to be fed into the boilers.
Biomass Handling is a vast spectrum mainly due to the fact that is available in numerous species that widely differ from each other. Starting with a few common features the non-freeflow knitting together, different types differ from each other with a wide spectrum of features like the bulk density, calorific value, ash content, flammability dust content, moisture content, sizing issues, fragility & degradability.
The design of the Biomass Handling System hence requires great precision as well as in depth knowledge of the physical as well as the bio-chemical aspects of each biomass type and the purpose of the Biomass processing & handling plant is to produce the biomass that is consistent in size & moisture content as required at the feeding gate of the boiler for desirable combustion and depending on the range of biomass raw material available and this job can be quite complex.
Based on various factors like the capital cost, size of the project and number of hours of operation, the handling and processing unit can be optimized.
However in general following are the basic processes and equipments used for the processing and handling unit.
