Biomass is taking off and has a bright future – which is why biomass boilers manufacturers are racing to supply the industry with the advanced boilers it needs. Boilers that are manufactured today typically are either custom-built for biomass production, or are really modifications made to coal-fired boilers for co-firing… Read More
Rotary airlock feeders are essential components to efficient material handling processes. Whether you’re handling free-flowing powders, wood pellets, or other materials, your system will depend on your rotary airlock feeders correctly functioning. You’ll also want maximum longevity for your rotary airlock feeders to decrease their total cost of ownership. Keeping… Read More
Screw metering bins are essential when it comes to smoothly and efficiently feeding fuel into a boiler. They are integral to keeping the power-producing process running as it should. But not all screw metering bins are created equal. Keep reading to learn why screw metering bins are important and what… Read More
Reclaim screws are integral parts of the process for many plants. They need to be kept operating at maximum efficiency, otherwise inefficiency can drag down rates and increase costs through inefficiencies in the process. Here’s how you can ensure that you are getting maximum efficiency from your reclaim screws. Inspect… Read More
It is fair to say that biomass has garnered a lot more momentum overseas than it has domestically. But one political development in the United Kingdom could spell a downturn for biomass in that country, one that could be echoed in the United States should similar circumstances occur. Six months… Read More
An important component in any plant is fuel control and metering. And a key component of metering are the screw metering bins that store fuel and allow for steady regulation of fuel for better combustion control. No one wants to use an excess of fuel – or use too little…. Read More
In 2007, the United States produced over 131 million tons of coal combustion products from the nation’s 1,308 coal-fired power plants.
