PRECISION ENERGY SERVICES clean, efficient combustion with low emis-sions and only a small amount of ash. Mess-ersmith Biomass Boiler Systems are able to deliver hot water, as well as low or high pressure steam, as well as power generation. www.burnchips.com KRANN Precision Energy Services (PES) biomass boilers and energy systems convert a plant’s waste into energy. In 2017, PES commis-sioned the second paper mill sludge-to-en-ergy system for Atlantic Packaging in To-ronto. The PES’ fluidized bed boiler system produces 35,000 PPH of steam and hot gas gases to dry 100,000 tons per year of sludge, offsetting natural gas consumption and tipping fees paid for sludge disposal, resulting in a three-year payback. PES sup-plied the sludge handling system, fluidized bed combustion, boiler system, ash system and gas cleaning system. www.pes-world.com MESSERSMITH Messersmith systems allow a 10:1 turn down ratio. Fuel is moved onto the special-ly designed grates in the combustor to be burned. The system can burn biomass fuels such as wood chips, sawdust, whole tree chips or other clean biomass with moisture contents from three per cent to 50 plus per cent. High combustion temperatures and PLC control of combustion air results in Krann biomass boiler uses a low-emission gasifier/furnace as its heat source. The fur-nace has a stationary grate with no mov-ing parts. It produces very low particulate emissions, typically with no flue gas clean-ing equipment. The flyash accumulation on boiler heat transfer surfaces is greatly re-duced thus minimizing equipment cleaning and shutdowns. The system ranges from 1 MW to 15 MW of heat output and can be used for boilers (steam, water, hot oil), dry-ing, CHP, etc., as a cost-effective alternative to traditional wood burners. It can handle a wide range of moisture and ash content fuels. The heating system includes fuel stor-age, gasifier/furnace, boiler, ash discharge and exhaust and is fully automated. www.krann.ca WOODCO ENERGY in 25 kW and 37 kW models. Unique-ly the Prestige range can use thermal oil as a heat medium (instead of water) thereby allowing it to be the used with its new co-gen (mi-croCHP) unit. The co-gen can provide up to 10 per cent electricity, so the 25 kW Prestige can provide 2.5 kW electrical pow-er via the co-gen unit. The prestige is also available in a 37 kW model. The compa-ny has enquiries from Yukon, N.W.T. and Ontario for Woodco’s co-gen units and CSA approval is likely to be obtained this spring. Cogen will available for sale in Canada im-mediately thereafter. www.woodco-energy.com AFS ENERGY SYSTEMS Woodco Energy, the Irish manufacturer of biomass boilers, recently launched its Pres-tige range of pellet boilers in the Canadian market. The boilers underwent UL/CSA ac-creditation in 2017 and are fully approved for sale in Canada. The prestige is available AFS Energy Systems recently installed an AFS 600-HP Overfed Reciprocating Grate Stoker steam boiler system with automatic ash removal at the EMD Mil-lipore new central heating plant in Jaf-frey, N.H. The system is fuelled by wood chips at a wet basis moisture content of 55 per cent and 600-HP propane boiler system. Included was a dual scrape type fuel bunker receiving, storage and materi-al transfer system with vibrating convey-or with overs screen, permanent magnet, overs belt conveyor and overs grinder. 14 CBM_TDFCombustion_JanFeb18_MLD.indd 1 Canadian BIOMASS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2018 2018-01-15 3:23 PM
