Emissions from Biomass Combustion
Combustion of biomasses and their emission.
Typical uncontrolled emissions from combustion of biomass in boilers
- Particulates : 12.5 - 15 kg per ton biomass
- Organic compounds : 1 kg per ton biomass
- Sulfur dioxide : < 1.5 kg per ton biomass
- Nitrogen oxides : 5 kg per ton biomass
- Carbon monoxide : 1 kg per ton biomass
In addition there are ashes to dispose. Particulates are typically removed 99% in industrial boilers.
