Address: No. 233 Sao Nam Street, Nghi Phu, Cua Lo Town, Nghe An Province
Project Summary: Replacement of low-efficiency coal-fired boiler with high efficiency biomass-fired boiler

Status before implementation

Trang An 2 Company was using one (01) chain grate coal-dust fired boiler with capacity of 7 tons of steam/hour and working pressure of 10 kG/cm2 and one (01) backup coal-fired boiler with a capacity of 3.5 tons of steam/hour and working pressure of 10 kG/cm2

Operating status of the chain grate boiler before implementation was as follows:

- operating with very low efficiency (58% calculated by the direct method), requiring high fuel consumption and operating costs.

- regular failure, especially the chain grate and slag remover which were usually failed due to operation under harsh environment, regularly unexpected downtime for repairing, thereby affecting the production efficiency.

- Difficult to repair and replace of parts, time consuming.

- Simple flue gas treatment system, the discharged dust often failed to satisfy Vietnam’s environmental standards. The oxygen concentration in the exhaust flue gas was too high (16.6% on average), indicating a very high excess of air coefficient, causing drastic heat loss through the exhaust flue gas.

Result

Trang An 2 Company then decided to replace the chain grate coal fired boiler with a fluidized bed biomass fired boiler.

Overall diagram of the new boiler is as follows:

Outstanding advantages of biomass boiler technology:

- Fully automatic or semi-automatic operation; boiler’s efficiency of higher than 85%

- Operation cost reduced by 25 to 40% compared to that of a chain grate coal fired boiler

- Thorough treatment of exhaust flue gas and dust concentration through the dry Cyclone dust filter system and wet dust suppression tower; The exhaust gas always meets Vietnamese standards - QCVN19: 2009/BTNMT
