Biomass power plant for energy cogeneration (Monterotondo, RM)
Biomass power plant for energy cogeneration (Monterotondo, RM)
The plant, 1.2 MPa steam generator, with a mobile grid furnace with a power of 350 kWth, is equipped with a double auger biomass feeding system (DUPLO® ) which allows the introduction into the furnace of different types of biomass (wood chips, pruning etc.). The fume line is equipped with devices for the collection of ashes and for the elimination of particulates through a double reverse cyclonic primary dust collector to remove the coarser fraction of suspended dust. The fumes are then conveyed to a baghouse with synthetic sleeves to ensure the removal of the finer particle size in the suspended particulate matter. Along the flue gas line, sampling points are set up for sampling the gaseous effluents. The boiler's feeding system (silos) rests on four load cells that allow you to monitor, in real time, the weight of the biomass introduced into the boiler. All combustion and flow rate parameters are controlled by a SCADA system which allows adjustment in the combustion chamber both to optimize the boiler efficiency and to control the gaseous emissions into the atmosphere.
