Biomass Boiler
Thermax has always been responsive to the energy needs of industry and to the everchanging economic and environmental factors governing those needs. Current trends
and future outlook highlight the need for utilising the vast untapped energy potential
of agrowastes and biomass.
The Thermax biomass boiler is the very equipment required to improve profitability
through maximum utilisation of solid agrowastes generated in your plant or available
in nearby areas. Over 300 plants in India and abroad meet their process steam and
electric power requirements through biomass fired boilers supplied by Thermax .
Travelling Grate
Salient Features
Travelling Grate ensures uninterrupted combustion
Continuous ash discharge system avoids dependence on operators judgement
Grate speed can be varied continuously in range 0-12 m/hr.(0-45ft / hr)
Overlapping grate design prevents air leakages
Maintenance of grate can be carried out without shutting down the boiler
An overfire air system provides turbulence and thorough mixing of the volatile
gases, thus assuring complete combustion
All other advantages of suspension burning are ensured
Dumping Grate can be offered in place of travelling grate on request
Catenary design provides for automatic takeup or tensioning of grate chains to prevent
jamming. Effective catenary is maintained
by gravity, thus making external shaft
adjustments unnecessary.
Grate surface consists of a series of grates
specifically designed for spreader stoker firing.
The grates are constructed of best quality
heavy duty heat-resisting cast iron alloy and
Technical Features
Travelling Grate front and rear air seals automatically keep excess air to a
minimum within the furnace. These front and rear seals are ruggedly constructed
for long service and are automatically self-adjusting to maintain continuous close
sealing contact.
The curvature design of the grates keeps the grates closed without the aid of
auxiliary weights, when making the turn around the sprockets. No gaps appear
between the grates, thereby directing all foreign materials into the ash pit and not
into the drive shaft mechanism.
Design is such that any grate section can be replaced without taking the stoker
out of service. Simply remove a single bolt, nut & washer and slide the grate off
the carrier bar.
To reduce maintenance costs, grate surface is made in short sections (230 mm
to 300 mm long) of best quality, heavy duty, heat-resisting cast iron alloy with
uniformly spaced, tapered, self-cleaning air-metering openings, and with close
fitting overlapping edges to prevent air leakage at the joints.
The hydraulic grate drive is a self-contained unit in a single housing with no
external piping. Hydraulic pump and control regulate the flow and pressure
through linkage in a ratchet gear which drives the main shaft. The hydraulic drive
and main shaft are connected by a heavy-duty flange coupling. The hydraulic unit
is equipped with a factory-set relief valve to protect the grates should the need
arise. To compensate for variation of the ash content in the fuel, the drive can be
infinitely regulated to control the grate speed from 0 to approximately 15 meters
per hour.
Pinhole Grate
Salient Features
Stationary inclined water cooled grate design with no moving parts for
avoiding any mechanical failures and reducing maintenance in the furnace
Steam nozzles for simplified on-line ash removal from the grate without drop
in boiler pressure. Also agitation of fuel occurs which results in reduction in
unburnt carbon loss
An economical and viable option for high capacity boilers
Combustor can accept air of temperature upto 250C thus resulting in
smooth combustion of fuel
Inherently capable of burning high-moisture bagasse
An overfire air system provides turbulence and thorough mixing of the
volatile gases, thus assuring complete combustion
Adequate number of feeders for uniform fuel distribution
All other advantages of suspension burning are ensured
