Retrofit your existing diesel, gas, or coal boiler with a biomass boiler furnace and switch to biomass fuels such as woodchips, corn husks, or oats hulls.
Reduce your Emissions
Biomass is a renewable energy source, so by switching you will reduce your net CO₂ emissions. Besides your reduction in fuel costs, you might also be able to earn carbon credits.
Why do you need a separate furnace for coal boilers?
The most common question we get is why you cannot burn woodchips or other biomass directly on a coal hearth. This comes down to Calorific Value (CV), density, and burning time. Most biomass has a lower CV value, as well as lower density, but also burns a lot faster, which means you need to feed a lot more fuel in terms of volume, which requires a larger and higher hearth area. The faster burning rate might also result in hot spots on the boiler tube bank resulting in higher wear and tear.
Certification

Design
All our incinerator models have two chambers, with a large hearth to help distribute the waste, and a large secondary chamber to promote settling of particulate matter (dust). The chambers are also sized for a two second reaction (retention) time.
We use a high temperature alumina-silicate refractory, with a cold crushing strength of 80Mpa and service temperature of 1,500˚C to cast our incinerators. The refractory is acid resistant with very high abrasion resistance.
