| Abstract |
The report gives results of a review of NOx emission data from 14 wood-fired boilers. Types of wood used as fuel included sawdust, chips, shavings, edgings, bark, and other processing residues. Boilers tested ranged in size from 1.5 to 67 MW (4,500 to 200,000 lb steam/hr). The major finding was that wood-fired boilers emit considerably less NOx (on an energy basis) than fossil fueled boilers of comparable size, in spite of the fact that most wood-fired boilers operate with high levels of excess air, a practice normally associated with increased NOx emissions. Average emission factors were 0.3 g NOx per kg fuel for boilers less than 10 MW, and 1.6 g NOx per kg fuel for boilers greater than 10 MW. |
