Industrial wood energy systems have demonstrated prompt paybacks and operating cost decreases for the industrial and commercial sectors. But how do engineers and managers know that this technology is appropriate for their operations. And how do they install these new wood energy systems. Answers to these and other related questions are now available in this handbook to address all aspects of industrial wood energy systems. This manual describes available options, alternatives, methods of payback analysis, and procedures for determining fuel supplies. It provides coverage of the planning, technical, economic, and regulatory stages of installing and retrofitting an industrial-commercial wood energy system. This guide examines many methods of converting solid wood fuel to usable energy as heat, electricity, or steam. Everything from combustion to the actual design and performance of an operating wood energy system is covered. Fuel handling and cogeneration, as well as the specific of conducting a preliminary feasibility study, are explained.
