WHAT IS BIOMASS?
Biomass is any organic material, may include wood, wood
waste, straw, manure, sugar cane and many other byproducts
from a variety of agricultural processes.
Biomass is also produced by plants terrestrial and aquatic
and their derivatives.
It also includes Animal manure.

application is significant
CASE STUDY
KETCHIKAN FEDERAL BUILDING
Location: Ketchikan, Alaska
Purpose: Hot water distribution system
Application chosen: biomass heating technology
by means of wooden pellet boiler system
Boiler specifications: 1 million BTUs per hour
Efficiency: 85.6%
METHODOLOGY
The wood pellets are stored in a silo outside of the building and are augured into the
building when the low-level signal is given from the fuel bin level sensor. The pellets
automatically replenish the fuel bin and the conveyor stops when the upper level
sensor is triggered.
The fuel is burned efficiently using staged combustion air injection. The hot flue
gas travels through a bank of tubes where the heat is transferred to the water
that surrounds the tube bundle. This is known as a fire tube design.
This boiler design is equipped with an automated mechanical cleaning system
that periodically removes ash build-up from the tubes. This is done online to
avoid interruptions in the heating process.
CONCLUSION
Distilling drugs- waste products from the production of ethanol in the form of high-protien mash.
Commercial waste- waste from operations.
Rejects- plastic film and similar material from recycling of cardboard, for eg. Milk packaging, etc.
The EON co-generation plant, a combined heat and power plant which uses a
wide mix of waste derived fuels to produce energy, heat and steam.
The fuel mix is based on 95 per cent renewable fuels, which include forest
residue, wood waste and municipal waste.
Heat is delivered to the district heating network, electricity to the local electricity
grid, and steam is used at the adjacent ethanol production plant (Agroetanol).
The steam sold by EON to Agroethanol meets almost all of its energy needs.
The ethanol plant uses corn, wheat and rye in its production. Distillers grain, the
by-product of ethanol manufacturing, is used to produce protein pellets, among
others, i.e. animal feed.
