Boiler and gasifier feed systems

ANDRITZ offers excellent technology for feeding and distributing biomass to boilers and gasifiers for energy production.

Uniform fuel feeding and distribution

Cost-effective production of energy biomass is very much dependent on efficient handling of available biomass sources, as well as the efficiency of each process. Biomass fuels must be evenly distributed to the various feeding points in a boiler or gasifier so that maximum throughput can be maintained, combustion can be optimized, and emissions can be minimized.
