Combustion of pellets from wheat straw

Abstract

The alternative energy sources are more and more used for production of heat. Several new combustion devices allow co-firingof different fuels, like dendromass and phytomass. The article analyses combustion of wood and straw pellets in the same boiler.Measurements were realized in two automatic heat sources – one is adapted to burn pellets made from wood or straw and anotherallows only burning of wood pellets. There are analysed performance and emission parameters of boiler.
