The boiler is specifically designed for combustion of biomass material and delivers steam at 30 Bar (450 psi) and 380 degrees C. The steam is then passed to the turbine which turns the generator thereby delivering electrical power. The exhaust steam from the

Biomass heating - Forest Research

biomass boiler heats up. Slag and ash Slag formation occurs when naturally occurring silica (sand), or unwanted silica in the fuel, converts to glass. While pure silica melts at about 1700 C, chlorides present in the fuel can reduce this to as low as 773 C

Biomass gasification for large-scale electricity generation | …

1/1/1988 · Boiler Furnace I Biomass Fuel Control The steam generated feeds a 3-cylinder simple, uniflow, reciprocating steam engine of 35 kW rated output. The steam engine drives a single-phase alternator through a free-wheel coupling that will enable the alternator to be 'disconnected' from the steam engine when the engine output is insufficient to run the alternator.
