Sawdust, green

The initial tests were conducted with green sawdust (39 percent moisture), old sawdust (49 percent moisture), and dry sawdust at 14 percent moisture. Cofiring levels ranged from 0 percent to 18 percent on a mass basis or up to about 10 percent on a heat input basis. Th tests demonstrated that there would be no deleterious capacity iriqiacts from cofiring, that efficiency losses could be modest and manageable, and that emissions impacts would be beneficial. 

The 50-MW plant in Burlington, Vermont, was limited in capacity by the wood fuel available witbin the area circumscribed by a radius of 80 km (50 mi.) from the plant. This is considered by most energy specialists to be the maximum distance that wood fuel can be obtained and economically transported to the plant by truck or rail. For captive sources of biomass fuels, the capacity can be larger. One example is the 60-MW, wood waste-fueled power plant located in Williams Lake, British Columbia (Baker, 1995). This plant is located in the center of a major lumber industry region that has five large sawmills located within 5 km of each other. The mills produce more than 540,000 green tonnes of bark, sawdust, and other wood waste products per year. 

Agricultural waste any kind of biological residue and green waste generated on a farm is considered in this substrate group more precisely it includes plant residues, side products of agricultural production processes, sawdust, and other wastes ... 

By this method the carbon dioxide is not absorbed, and a nuxe efficacious plan is to use a mixture of equal parts of ferrous sulpbat or green vitriol and sawdust, with half the weight of risked lima A mixture containing slaked lime, hydrated ferric oxide, and sulphate of lime is thus obtained, made porous with sawdust, and this acts as an excellent absorbent. The spentmixture...
