Biomass is, within the energy context, organic matter originating from a biological process that can be used as an energy source. The energy obtained from biomass is a renewable source, and neutral in carbon emissions. In addition, it has the advantage over other renewables of being manageable. That is, it can be stored and its production controlled. In Sugimat we have extensive experience in the development of biomass combustion technologies, depending on characteristics such as moisture, ash content and chemical composition of the biomass.
Some examples are:
Chips
Industrial woodwaste (grade B wood and grade C wood)
Wooden bark: poplar, eucalyptus, pine, birch…
Cereal straw
Virgin wood
Sanding dust
Olive marc
Grape marc
Olive pit
Chicken manure
Almond shells
For these types of fuel, Sugimat has developed the following biomass combustion technologies:
Pusher or reciprocating grate
Dust injection
Fluid bed
Underfeed stocker
