Analyzing Ligna and the Energy Systems

[Helge Keitel]

We returned back home from Ligna 2015 and our Baltic Sea Roundtrip more than a month ago. It's time to analyze and report what we discovered and what the consequences might be for Finnish CHP producers.

1. Reduce energy costs
2. Integration into existing systems
3. Energy production from biomass waste
4. Technologies for power generation
5. How to produce process energy
6. Moving innovative solutions into efficient use
7. Environmentally friendly production models
8. Setting new standards in biomass firing

Various firing systems are available for burning biomass (e.g. wood chips, bark, wood dust, grain husks, empty fruit bunches).

• Grate firing
• Fluidised bed firing
• Dust firing

Higher performance values can be achieved by combining several technologies in the same plant.
