Biomass handling guide targeted at power industry
Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology
Best Practice Guide on Biomass Handling
The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology has produced a report entitled ’Best Practice Guide on Biomass Handling and Biomass/Coal Co-Handling’.
The report was prepared for the power industry, with funding and collaboration from the British Coal Utilisation Research Association and E-On UK, by former PhD student Dr NS Khan as part of his project with the aid of his supervisors, Prof MSA Bradley and Dr RJ Berry.
The report arose as a direct output of the project, which was designed to look at identifying and resolving the common problems of fuel handling in the co-firing of coal and biomass.
However, the findings are equally applicable to the handling of biomass alone.
The study involved the active participation of E-On UK in collating experiences gained between 1999 and 2007, as well as extensive characterisation and handling trials at the Wolfson Centre.
The resulting document is intended as a guide for engineers, maintenance personnel, managers and procurement executives with responsibility for obtaining and operating equipment for the handling of biomass either alone or mixed with coal in solid-fuel-fired power stations.
