Co-firing is the efforts to reduce use of fossil fuel (coal) form steam power plant. Adding biomass as a partial boiler coal consumption thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions which can have an impact on greenhouse effect. This co-firing study implemented 5-20% palm kernel shells. The emission has decreased very significantly in by 20%, Carbon (CO2) from 7% 0.9% and monoxide (CO) 759 Mg/Nm3 ...

One type of alternative fuel that has the potential to be developed and can contribute significantly NRE mix is biomass. The significance energy obtained from use co-firing system at Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) by mixing coal with biomass such as sawdust. Sawdust cofiring material for CFPP very efficient because it content availability easy manage. aim this research make technical economic an...

Nowadays, renewable energy is a reliable solution for addressing global warming and fossil fuel depletion issues. Malaysia has an abundance of biomass resources currently underutilized to generate electricity, such as palm oil waste. Wastes from mill plant, empty fruit bunch (EFB), mesocarp fibre (PMF), kernel shell (PKS), are worth be investigated possible raw material co-firing with coal. The...

Torrefaction is a thermo-chemical process that reduces the moisture content of wood and transforms it into a brittle, char-type material. The thermo-chemical process can reduce the mass of wood by 20-30% resulting in a denser, higher-valued product that can be transported more economically than traditional wood chips. Through torrefaction, wood may retain 90% of the energy value. This energy de...

Due to relatively high concentrations of Cd, biomass combustion fly ashes often fail to meet Danish legislative requirements for recycling as fertilizer. In this study, the potential of using electrodialytic remediation for removal of Cd from four different biomass combustion fly ashes was investigated with the aim of enabling reuse of the ashes. The ashes originated from combustion of straw (t...

The pulverized coal-fired furnaces are expected to use co-firing with biomass for environmental reasons. Although the non-uniform ash deposits formed on furnace walls, uniform could be used analysis of operation. objective this investigation was determination deposit thickness, as a criterion prediction sootblower activation moment in coal-biomass co-firing. comprised numerical simulations and ...

Biomass is material derived from living or recently living organisms and is a potential source of energy with very specific properties. Biomass has great potential to replace fossil fuels in energy systems, offering environmental benefits due to its carbon neutrality and renewability. However, the firing and co-firing of biomass can lead to problems such as slagging, fouling and metal corrosion...
