The Biomass Energy Advantage: Cost Competitive Today and Carbon Neutral For Tomorrow’s Energy and Fuels
“The use of biomass for energy is not a new concept. But there is a right way and a wrong way to implement it in industrial applications. Having seasoned personnel that understand solids handling, for example, is critical in design and specification.” Thomas F. McGowan, PE, President, TMTS Associates Inc.
Two of the biggest concerns for the chemical process industries today are emerging from the global economic recession and the impact that future carbon regulations will have on recovery. A switch to biomass for fuel today can help ease the burden in your plant on both fronts.
Biomass energy stocks:
- Offer cleaner, renewable ways to produce steam, power and hot gas
- Can greatly reduce operating costs
- Are considered carbon neutral
- Can be turned into both fuels and chemical feedstocks
This Webinar will supply you with all the information needed to chose and implement an energy or fuel production system that matches your organization’s needs
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
- What steps to take in converting biomass fuels into energy
- Key relationships for estimating fuel savings and capital, operating and production costs
- How to cut down air pollution emissions when using renewable fuels
- The basics of greenhouse gas calculation methods
- How biomass costs compare to competing alternate fuels, such as reclaimed oil, used tires, cooking oil, solid wastes, coke, coal, gas and oil
- Practical insight on how other CPI facilities are implementing biomass today, including diagrams and photographs of feed prep and material handling, boilers, and air pollution control from actual installations
- How to implement direct combustion of wood and biomass, including types of grates and furnace designs
- How direct combustion of biomass compares to gasification for combustion and for chemical feedstocks
- The potential for new markets in production of liquid fuels and feedstocks from biomass
WHAT IS COVERED?
- Small-to medium-sized wood-fired boilers
- Hot gas generators for drying
- Cogeneration of steam and power
- Fuel supply
- Air pollution control
