Biomass Waste to Energy Incineration Plant. Solutions for Flue Gas Cleaning

Biomass treatment represents a sustainable solution for energy production, promoting the transition to a circular economy and reducing environmental impact. Combustion or waste-to-energy of biomass converts organic materials into thermal and electrical energy, but it also generates flue gases containing various pollutants. These can include sulfur oxides (SOx), fine particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), and heavy metals. An effective flue gas purification process is therefore essential to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and protect public health.

Biomass Pollutant Abatement

FAQ

How does the flue gas purification process work in the biomass energy recovery?

Biomass incineration or energy recovery generates energy through the conversion of organic materials but also produces gases and dust containing pollutants. These can include Sulfur Oxides (SOx), fine particulates, and heavy metals such as Mercury and Cadmium. The flue gas purification process involves the use of chemical reagents, such as sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon/lignite coke, to neutralize the acids and remove the heavy metals and harmful particles. Thanks to advanced filtration systems, the fumes released into the atmosphere are made safe and compliant with current regulations.

What are the pollutants produced by biomass incineration?

Thermal conversion of biomass into energy, ash, and exhaust gases occurs through energy recovery. This process applies to biological-derived materials, both plant and animal, often residues from various industries or private waste. During the process, the emitted exhaust gases can include hazardous contaminants, necessitating specific treatment to reduce environmental impact. The exhaust gas purification stages involve chemical interventions to nullify the effect of toxic gases such as sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and hydrofluoric acid (HF), as well as the use of activated carbon/lignite coke to capture harmful compounds, including heavy metals like mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd).

Biomass: European Waste Code EWC

Biomasses are classified according to the EWC codes, which determine their origin and composition. Biomasses can include agricultural materials, forestry residues, organic industrial waste, or biological sludges. Proper management and treatment according to the EWC codes ensure that the materials are recovered in full respect of European directives, contributing to a more sustainable economy.
