Exhaust systems for biomass boilers
Large-scale biomass boilers ensure the central supply for municipal heating networks as well as large industrial plants, enabling ecologically and economically efficient thermal energy production. These systems utilize the combustion of biomass to heat water, which is then distributed as an energy carrier to end consumers via heating networks. By utilizing wood chips or pellets, these systems offer a high-performance, CO₂-neutral alternative to fossil fuels based on regionally available, renewable raw materials. Thanks to fully automated system technology, thermal efficiency levels of approximately 90% are achieved, guaranteeing a highly efficient supply for entire districts or complex industrial processes.
The exhaust gas routing for large-scale biomass boiler plants is subject to special technical requirements due to varying operating conditions. Over its entire service life, the exhaust system must safely manage the transition between dry and wet operating modes as well as fluctuating pressure conditions in both negative and positive pressure ranges.
The integration of electrostatic precipitators into the exhaust system for emission control presents an additional challenge. Similarly, the incorporation of condensation units for heat recovery requires precise technical implementation.
To overcome these challenges and ensure seamless system compatibility, we work closely with leading boiler manufacturers. This cooperation allows the exhaust system to be precisely tailored to the respective application as early as the planning phase and enables the realization of optimal solutions for complex duct routing.
