Biomass fuels as compared to coal have high volatiles; those have to be necessarily burnt in the freeboard. Therefore, it is essential that correct amount of air with proper mixing (Turbulence) is fed in the freeboard in boiler. As this boiler is mainly working on Rice husk, we are providing secondary and tertiary air above the firing zone; the backpressure of air at these points is substantially higher which produce good amount of turbulence in the free board. This will ensure the complete combustion of volatiles.
We are providing super heater in free board, which will have less maintenance
because of the high temperature of the steam thereby high metal temperature.
The gas velocity profiles employed in the boiler reduce the risk of erosion and also
prevent ash deposition.
At every reversal of flue gas, we have provided ash-collecting hoppers which
discharge ash continuously.
