Two commercial Bio-Fuel Systems have been operating since August 1980 in the kraft linerboard mill of ASSI (the National Swedish Forest Industries Enterprise) at Levholmen, where bark, sawdust, and peat supply the main fuel for a steam boiler and two lime kilns. The system comprises three main sections, a predryer operating with hot flue gases, a pulverizer for particle size reduction and a flash dryer. The system can handle 55 tons per hour of 57% moist fuel with the advantage of causing less dead-burnt lime and almost no scale buildup inside the refractory.
