Abstract:
As part of the French ADEME project on performances of Biomass-Energy coordinated by CSTB ('ReduPo Bois'), this study focuses on the evaluation of performances of a commercialized electrostatic system dedicated to reduction of pollutants emitted by wood combustion in an inset. Measured pollutants are Total Suspended Particles (TSP) in mass, particles by class of diameters (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, PM0.1) in number (and particle size distribution in number), CO, CO2, Total HydroCarbons (THC), NO, NO2 and SO2. Measurements are performed respectively with this system in service and idle, so that its efficiency is evaluated for each of these pollutants. Moreover, the pressure drop generated by this system, its resistance to heat and its impact on corrosion (in the chimney) are studied. Results obtained show that the mean efficiency of reduction of pollutants appears to be not significant for the measured pollutants, by taking into account the associated standard deviations (which are rather large). Moreover, it appears that this system cannot be switch on after a security test representative of a chimney fire. This system also reveals not to have a negative impact on corrosion, while the pressure it generates is negligible.
