Boiler Technology for Biomass Residues
ERK Eckrohrkessel GmbHAlexis Hellwig, Commercial Director
Conference of the AHK Germany, VietnamBioenergy in VietnamSeptember 16, 2013
Background of EckrohrkesselHistory and references
Eckrohr boiler technology was developed in the mid 1940s
first licensees started to build Eckrohr-boilers worldwide; ERK offers engineering only
outsourcing of the ERK technology from La Mont Kessel GmbH in 1977
today more than 30 licensees worldwide (from small boiler manufacturers to turn-key suppliers for example in Thailand BIB, Getabec and DGA)
>5.900 boiler and heater references with thermal outputs of 0.3-250MWth all over the world
references for biomass (>450), waste (>580), cogeneration (>200), fuel mixtures (>350) as well as coal, oil and gas (>4,000)

Energy From BiomassConversion technologies
fuels
gasificationcombustion (grate and fluidised bed)
ERK has references for all aforementioned conversion technologies choice of firing system depends on fuel quality, process and efficiency
requirements as well as commercial constraints
Energy From BiomassTarget of efficient combustion
1.) total burnout of fuel no carbon content in the ash no CO or pyrolytic gases in the flue gas
for higher efficiency and environment
2.) low NOx emission in flue gases, less effort for secondary DeNOx treatment
for the environment
3.) low dust content in flue gases less fouling and corrosion in the boiler
for a higher availability of the boiler

Grate System With Boiler
Advantages:• very low demands to fuel treatment
Disadvantages:• cooled mechanical grate for higher calorific values
(higher plant and operation costs) ( scuffing of grate bars)• smooth packed bed hard to ensure• areas with cold streaks with CO and high dust loads• higher central excess air for sufficient burnout
→ boiler and flue gas treatment unit larger due to type of incineration (excess air)
Types of Gas Generators
Energy From BiomassGasification – Two Stage Combustion
Principle: generation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen under
sub-stoichiometric conditions in the first stage (gasifier) high temperature combustion in the second stage (torsional
chamber) low gasification temperatures keep complicated fuels, e.g.
chlorine and potassium, in the ash, thus reducing fouling and corrosion
Advantages higher steam parameters due to absence of complicated
substances; higher plant efficiency reduced maintenance & small plant components low investment and complexity
Disadvantages not proven for highly contaminated wood waste yet no existing references larger 70 MWth yet

Advantages of Counter Current Flow Gasification
1) Spatial separation of drying and gasification from the combustion process leads to uniform flue gas burnout.
2) Little excess air (20 %) in the subsequent combustion system leads to a smaller boiler (~25 %) and a smaller flue gas treatment unit.
3) Simpler and more robust gasification reactor less prone to interference4) Little loss of fuel due to extremely low carbon levels in the ash and cold ash
removal5) Concentration of nitrous oxide in the flue gas at a minimum even at a high
concentration in the fuel due to low gasification temperature6) Low levels of dust and contaminants, since the gasifier‘s fixed bed serves as a
filter in the counter flow→ higher efficiency factor for the entire plant, since the boiler runs with higher
steam parameters at low facility costs
