Co-firing of coal and olive oil bagasse

Abstract

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel energy source available to the economic of the world. However, as consequence of the recently new environmental regulations of fossil fuels have further increased interest in the use of waste and biomass for energy generation. Olive oil residues are an important biomass generated in the Mediterranean countries, where the olive oil industries are important. A study of the co-combustion feasibility to burn olive oil bagasse and coal mixtures using fluidized bed and fixed grate combustion technology has been studied by CIEMAT and AICIA in the framework of the ECSC European project. Some of the results obtained in this study are presented in this paper. A subituminous coal and olive bagasse from Spain were used as fuels. The combustion tests were performed in a CIEMAT bubbling fluidized bed pilot plant (0.5 MWth) and a fixed bed industrial boiler. The effect of the mixture composition and operation conditions on the combustion behavior, combustion efficiency and emissions were studied. Finally, a comparison of the both combustion technologies is made. 9 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
