ABSTRACT


Substitution of fossil fuel with biomass as an alternative is very extending, especially in last years. Besides wood, which is mostly used in small boilers, there are some non-traditional biofuels – energy plants and agricultural by-products. This research is focused first of all on biomass combustion in a local low-power heating systems with output up to 100 kW, which can be taken into consideration for this purpose. Detailed combustion tests with different types of biofuels and burners were done with aim to evaluate both – fuels and boilers. Emission parameters of each fuel obtained during the experiment and many recommendations for boiler designers are mentioned as outcome of this work.

Key words: biomass combustion, emission, boiler.
