Abstract

In this experimental study, the combustion characteristics of torrefied biomass co-firing in a pulverized-coal furnace were investigated. Torrefied biomass residues (oil palm empty fruit bunches called OPEFB) were used as a substitute for coal. To examine the feasibility of partial substitution of coal by biomass, coal only and torrefied OPEFB/coal blend with 20% substitution ratio were comparatively investigated. The results showed that torrefied biomass co-firing with 20% substitution ratio in a pulverized-coal furnace can produce stable combustion, similar temperature distributions and lower emission levels of CO₂, as well as comparable emission levels of CO, NO and SO₂ when compared to burning coal only.
