PROJECT CAPABILITIES BOILER CONVERSION TO BIOMASS BURNING Scope of Service Boiler owner/operators in recent years have been motivated to convert existing fossil fuel-fired boilers to burn some, or exclusively biomass fuels. Biomass fuels often provide lower fuel costs and lower flue gas emissions as well as being considered a “green” renewable resource. Whether the boiler currently burns exclusively fossil fuels or burns a combination of fossil and biomass fuels, JANSEN has the experience and capabilities to provide the necessary services to enhance biomass firing in most all boiler configurations. A recommended phased approach to fuel conversion projects is listed below: Initial assessment of feasibility and required modifications to generate early budgetary costs. Engineering evaluation of existing boiler to determine the unit’s capabilities when operating with the new fuel (pressure parts, auxiliary and air pollution control equipment). Definition engineering to develop +/- 10% accuracy cost estimate. Engineering design, fabrication, and materials supply. Installation. Operator training and start-up assistance. JANSEN has the capability and experience to carry out any or all of these steps.

JANSEN has conducted engineering evaluations for more than 200 biomass-fired boilers. We have assisted numerous mills with implementing operational and hardware changes to improve the performance and thermal efficiency, minimize fossil fuel co- firing, reduce landfill costs, and reduce air pollution emissions from their biomass boiler operations. Scope of Services Waste fuels combustion problem solving (waste wood bagasse, agro-waste, TDF, NCG, sludge, etc.). Improved performance and steam generating capacity from biomass. Application of advanced combustion technology. Reduced CO, VOC, NOx, SO2, and particulate emissions. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling and analysis. Measurement and analysis of boiler circulation. Incineration of concentrated and dilute non-condensable gases (CNCG & DNCG), and sludges. Boiler MACT Compliance Review.
