Abstract
An eco-friendly system for generating thermal energy from waste biomass comprises a furnace, a set of boiler tubes placed on the top of the furnace, a rectangular or tubular structure housing the boiler tube and the furnace, an outlet for the flue gases leading to a cyclone, said cyclone carrying a tubular body for leading away a part of flue gases and fitted with a butterfly control valve for regulating flow of effluent gases, a tubular body connecting the body to the suction blower, a water tank, a hopper for waste biomass, and a fuel injection blower for introducing fuel inside the furnace by means of pressurized air jet blown through the pipe.
Claims10
A novel eco-friendly system for generating thermal energy from waste biomass, comprising—
- (i) a furnace (2) capable of generating and withstanding high temperature, round or tetragonal at the bottom and tapering at the top assuming a conical shape and fitted at the top with a pipe (2A);
- (ii) a set of boiler tube(s) (1) placed on the top of the furnace;
- (iii) a rectangular or tubular structure (1A) housing the boiler tube (1) and the furnace (2), the said structure having insulated wall (13) to prevent dissipation of heat;
- (iv) an outlet (18) for the flue gases leading to a cyclone (3) equipped with means for spraying water or wet steam (12), the said cyclone carrying a tubular body (3A) for leading away a part of flue gases and fitted with a butterfly control valve (5) for regulating flow of effluent gases;
- (v) a tubular body connecting the said body (3A) to the suction blower (4) with a connection at the bottom of the furnace (2) for blowing air/hot gases inside the burner zone of the furnace (2);
- (vi) a water tank (6) in which the downpipe of the cyclone is kept submerged in water for trapping particulate matter carried by the effluent gases from the furnace;
- (vii) a hopper (8) for waste biomass used as fuel fitted with a fuel flow control device (7), from which the fuel is released onto an endless conveyor belt (9) for being led to the furnace gate (15) with the help of suction point o blower (7) and
- (viii) a fuel injection blower (10) for introducing fuel inside the furnace by means of pressurized air jet blown through the pipe (11).
A novel eco-friendly system for generating thermal energy from biomass, substantially as hereinbefore described with particular reference to the accompanying drawing.
A process for generating thermal energy by employing lignocellulosic agricultural and industrial waste materials substantially as hereinbefore described.
