project description
The application of woody biomass for power and heat generation may not always be justified or economical feasible, also because the biomass could be use as a feedstock for production of high-end products. Instead, for regular power and heat production, a biomass of non-woody origin or sewage sludge could be used. However, combustion of such fuels brings a major challenges related to their complex and varied composition, water content and seasonal availability. In this project, these challenges are addressed by means of full scale operation of bio-energy station. The reduce the uncertainty regarding the combustion process, numerical models able to mimic the fuel complexity will be employed to study the non-woody biomass on a grate.
