Abstract:
Biomass combustion is a source of particulate and gaseous emissions. The scope of the work was the study of operation stability and efficiency of reduction of particulate emissions from exhaust gases using compact electrostatic precipitator. Tests were carried out for combustion of hardwood, softwood and mixed chips. Measurements were done for “non-stop” and “stop-and-go” operation of the boiler. It was shown that the quality of wood-chips influenced on particle emissions. The “stop-and-go” combustion of mixed wood-chips increased carbon concentration in the fly ash. About 93% of the mass of ash remained inside of the boiler and the rest flowed outside with exhaust gas forming particulate emissions. Compact ESP ensured effective reduction of fine and ultra fine particle emissions with mean mass collection efficiency of 75%. The recommendations for enhancement of control of particulate emissions from small scale wood combustion facilities using compact electrostatic precipitator were developed.
