Biomass Energy Systems

With decades of global experience in the energy industry, Sigma Thermal excels at delivering robust industrial solutions tailored to meet even the most stringent client specifications. Our biomass-fired energy systems boast minimal emissions and precise combustion control while accommodating a wide variety of waste fuels with differing sizes, chemical compositions, and moisture levels.

Sigma Thermal's reciprocating grate furnace ensures efficient and complete combustion of waste materials, even those with high ash, high moisture content, and low heating values. Keep reading to learn more about how these systems operate and the diverse energy delivery options we offer.

How Does a Biomass System Work?

Biomass energy systems typically comprise four main components: fuel handling, ash handling, a furnace, and a control system. These systems convert raw organic material into usable fuel through a series of steps:

1. Fuel Preparation: Before biomass equipment can effectively process raw materials, it must first prepare the biomass for fuel production. Whether solid, liquid, or gaseous, each type of biomass requires specific treatment methods to ensure consistency and efficiency. This might include drying, screening, grinding, or separating processes.
2. Fuel Intake and Handling: The fuel handling system begins with the initial feed and an intermediate storage bin. Fuel moves from the feed to the storage bin, where specialized equipment measures and distributes it into the furnace and onto the reciprocating grate.
3. Material Combustion: In this stage, the prepared materials are heated and combusted using process heating equipment. Hot gases are generated during this phase, facilitating drying and gasification. These gases then move forward through the subsequent stages of the process.
4. Gas Capture: Newly formed hot gases travel through two chambers—the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber—where they are captured and stored for future use. Since burning biomass produces carbon dioxide, capturing and managing these gases is essential to minimizing carbon emissions.
5. Ash Handling: Finally, the ash handling system collects the grate ash byproduct, which is dropped into ash hoppers and transported via an underwater conveyor to a disposal area outside the system. This method improves ash management and facilitates safe disposal.

Energy Delivery Systems & Equipment for Enhanced Performance

Biomass energy systems offer numerous advantages over conventional energy generation methods, including superior performance, efficiency, and more. As a renewable energy source, biomass energy qualifies for various incentives, such as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for every megawatt-hour of power produced or process heat RECs. Biomass not only provides renewable energy but also offers significant carbon savings, providing both environmental and financial benefits, particularly within the industrial sector.

Biomass energy delivery systems excel in terms of overall cost-effectiveness and resource utilization. Advanced gasification technologies, as outlined earlier, can achieve thermal efficiencies of up to 80-90%, drastically reducing input costs and expanding profit margins. Additionally, operational fuel cost savings and reduced fuel price volatility make biomass energy particularly appealing, given the abundance of organic waste energy sources compared to non-renewable fuel options. Moreover, biomass-fired energy is considered an efficient combined heat and power (CHP) system, as it simultaneously generates both heat and electricity.

At Sigma Thermal, we provide several types of energy delivery systems:

• Biomass-Fired Hot Gas Generators: These systems cleanly produce hot gas for direct heating applications.
• Biomass-Fired Thermal Fluid Heaters: Designed for indirect heating, these systems utilize thermal oil or fluid.
• Biomass-Fired Steam Boilers: These boilers generate steam directly from wood-fired furnaces.
• Thermal Oil to Steam Generation: These systems employ a thermal oil heat exchanger to produce low-pressure steam.
