Objective Conversion of a lignite coal-fired system into a biomass fuel system as a demonstration project.Obtaining long dwell times at high combustion temperatures. Maintaining the firing heat capacity and the process parameters for the use of energy.Maximisation of power production within a combined cycle system (coupling of power and heat generation) by utilising biomass fuels.Adaptation of the firing system to a wide fuel band of biomass and recycling materials.Utilisation of the existing steam generator as well as the off-sites for energy production and conversion.Provision of energy independently of CO2 conditions.Design of a firing system with a high thermal power to comply with biomass fuels and recycling timber with a high calorific value.Choosing a high dwell time at high combustion temperatures independently of a biomass fuel.High combustion chamber end temperatures while using biomass fuels.Maintaining the high steam parameters in spite of the relatively low ash softening temperatures.No restrictions to process parameters through the fuel type, the definition of these parameters being effected purely for energetic reasons.Mixed firing of biomass fuels with contaminated residual and recycling materials.Utilisation of a flue gas cleaning system according to the waste combustion rule (17.BlmSchV) to obtain minimum emissions and for the utilisation of impregnated recycling timber.
