Equipment Spotlight Boiler breakdown The newest boiler technology for Canadian customers Staff report PROCESSBARRON SMART HEATING TECHNOLOGY ProcessBarron has developed proprietary techniques using computational fluid dy-namics (CFD) analysis to “particle-track” the heavier, wear-agent particles in the gas stream. Particles greater than 15 microns are the ones that create the erosion. Us-ing CFD, rotor geometry is augmented or altered to control the path of these heavy particles through the rotor. By minimizing their contact in highly stressed areas of the rotor to eliminate the erosion, a substantial increase in rotor life is possible. www.processbarron.com COMPTE FOURNIER proven solutions generate valuable energy from variable wastes, ranging from munic-ipal sources such as SRF , RDF , construction and demolition waste, to commercial and industrial wastes and a wide variety of ag-ricultural wastes. The technology works even with difficult fuels, such as those with a high moisture or ash content, and offers the possibility to use fuels over a large range of calorific values, from eight to 30 MJ/kg. Outotec’s technology boasts minimal emis-sions and low carbon in ash, with over 99 per cent carbon burn-out, and ensures compliance according to local regulations. The system eliminates bottom ash, with only clean, ready-to-recycle, non-combus-tible material from fluidized bed. www.outotec.com HURST BOILER Smart Heating Technology offers highly ef-ficient 93-95 per cent multi-fuel biomass boilers compliant with ASME in Canada. The boilers range from 100 kW to 2,000 kW. Other products Smart Heating Tech-nology offers include: Smart Mobile Micro Cabins 100 -500 kW; Smart Boiler Cabin Solutions 100-2,000 kW; Special Mobile Cabins incorporating oil/gas boilers; elec-trical generators; C02 filtration units; hot-air units; and air-conditioning units.

Installed in 2016 it was designed to pro-duce five to 16 t/h steam for the dry kiln of the sawmill. It’s the first biomass boiler, which can provide an efficiency superior to 90 per cent using bark with high humidity (greater than 65 per cent). The boiler room consists of a 7.5 MW (25.6 MBTU) boiler that is fed with an automatic moving floor and independent conveyor equipment. www.compte-fournier.com/en/ OUTOTEC Turn waste into power with Outotec’s ro-bust waste to energy technology. Outotec’s Industrial grade wood fired burner with Hurst “clean-burn” stoker design. Modular packages are available from 5 MMBTU/ HR to 250 MMBTU/HR with operating temperature ranges from 200 F to 2,000 F . These proven solid fuel burner systems are a leading choice in lumber dry kilns, boil-er applications, oil heaters, rotary dryers, brick kilns and more. Hurst manufactures seven different types of biomass stoker/gas-ifiers, which have used 2,000 plus different types of biomass fuels. www.hurstboiler.com Jansen Combustion and Boiler Technol-ogies, Inc. specializes in improving the performance, capacity, reliability, and safe-ty of industrial boilers that burn difficult fuels, such as biomass, refuse derived fuel, and pulping liquors. Jansen has provided engineering evaluations of over 70 Cana-dian boilers and has carried out 18 boiler upgrade projects in Canada. Most recently, Jansen has upgraded boiler combustion sys-tems at: CKPI, The Pas, Man.; Harmac Pa-cific, Nanaimo, B.C.; Daishowa Marubeni, Peace River, Alta.; and West Fraser, Hinton, Alta.; Catalyst, Pt. Alberni, B.C.; Domtar, Windsor, Que.; and Cariboo, Quesnel, B.C. www.jansenboiler.com Canadian BIOMASS 13
