Operator's Guide for spreader-stoker combustion systems using agri-wastes (wood residue fuels)
An experimental research program was conducted at Oregon State University to develop a data base on the combustion characteristics of wood residue fuels as they are burned in industrial spreader-stoker boilers. The results of that experimental program impact on the operation of industrial spreader-stoker boilers and can be used to optimize the performance of these boilers. This is an abbreviated summary of the operational requirements for industrial wood and bark fired spreader-stoker boilers. The primary emphasis is on the role of the operator as a team member and the things he can do as a team member to improve the operation of wood fired boilers. Performance improvement is stressed in terms of completing the combustion reaction in the boiler to improve efficiency and reduce air pollution.
