Biomass

.

Biomass is one of the oldest energy sources worldwide. These days it is also used to provide renewable process heat and electricity. The fuel spectrum is very versatile, ranging from simple materials, such as wood chips, to more complicated materials, such as empty fruit bunches.

Due to our hundreds of references, ERK knows exactly which combustion system and boiler type is ideally suited for a particular fuel or fuel mixture. We then design the boiler system to a particular fuel spectrum and application. 

Meanwhile, we are taking into account fuel and ash properties, fouling behaviour, process parameters, and site as well as transport conditions.
