Significant quantities of wood residue fuels are presently being used in industrial steam generating facilities. Recent studies indicate that substantial additional quantities of wood residue fuels are available for energy generation in the form of steam and/or electricity. A limited data base on the combustion characteristics of wood residue fuels has resulted in the installation and operation of inefficient combustion systems for these fuels. This investigation of the combustion characteristics of wood residue fuels was undertaken to provide a data base which could be used to optimize the combustion of such fuels. Optimization of the combustion process in industrial boilers serves to improve combustion efficiency and to reduce air pollutant emissions generated in the combustion process. This report presents data on the combustion characteristics of Pelletized Douglas Fir Bark. The data were obtained in a pilot scale combustion test facility at Oregon State University. Other technical reports present data on the combustion characteristics of: Douglas Fir Bark, Douglas Fir Planer Shavings; Red Alder Sawdust, Red Alder Bark, Hemlock Bark, Ponderosa Pine Bark, Eastern White Pine Bark from New Hampshire, Whole Tree Hardwood Chips from North Carolina, Pelletized Ponderosa Pine Wood, White Fir Bark, Lodge Pole Pine Bark, and Mixed Hardwood Bark from Wisconsin.
