總結: | This study presents the performance evaluation of a horizontal air staged inclined biomass-to-heat energy (B2H)
converter used for drying purposes in the production of paper egg-trays. The thermal properties and moisture content of the
selected biomass such as oil palm kernel shell and wood chips were assessed. The influence of air mixture ratio (AMR) on
temperature profile, flue gases composition and combustion efficiency of the selected biomass were determined with a Testo
350XL flue gas analyser. It was observed that an increase in AMR led to an increase in the average temperature of the
pyrolytic chamber but decreased the average temperature of the exhaust, with insignificant change in the surrounding
temperature. CO, H2, NOx and SO2 concentrations were inversely proportional to an increase in AMR and an increase in
oxygen content in the B2H converter exhaust. Combustion efficiency of the B2H converter was inversely proportional to an
increase in AMR. Combustion efficiency of 67.00 0.34 % was achieved with Experiment vii. CO and NOx emissions at the
B2H exhaust (Experiment-vii) met the EPA regulations, that is, 193.35 9.17 ppmv and 9.20 0.87 ppmv, respectively. SO2
emission at the B2H exhaust, however, was lower than the NIOSH regulations, that is, 4.57 1.08 ppmv. Thus the B2H
converter demonstrated that CO, NOx and SO2 emissions can be significantly reduced with oil palm kernel shell and wood
chips. |
