Biomass Conversion

Throughout our 20 plus years in the steam and power generation industry, ESI’s Steam & Power SPECIAL FORCES® have designed and built numerous biomass-fired steam and power systems. We have also performed several biomass conversion enhancement and life extension projects. These projects typically include the application of several state-of-the-technology modifications including such items as the addition of a water-cooled surface, installation of a complete new fuel delivery system to improve fuel distribution, design and installation of new overfire air systems, and installation of water-cooled stokers. These modifications greatly improve combustion efficiency and steam capacity while simultaneously reducing emission levels and the combustion of more expensive support fuels. We invite you to view some of our biomass conversion case studies by clicking on the items listed below.
