Detroit Stoker continues to pursue new biomass projects specifically designed for wood pellets and alternative biomass fuels.

What You Need to Know About Burner Size and Performance

haddow — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 13:48:53 +0000

Properly sizing your aggregate dryer burner for optimum plant production should be a straightforward exercise; however, in many cases the burner is sized for significantly more than typical plant operating practices or even production capability. This can lead to multiple performance-related issues, reduce both burner and overall dryer efficiency, and reduce equipment lifespan.

Asphalt Pro – Enhance EPDs with Burner Tech

How to employ innovative burner systems and controls for optimum environmental efficiency.

Ash Issues When Firing Alternate, Engineered and Opportunity Fuels

haddow — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 12:01:25 +0000

Alternate, engineered and opportunity fuels can offer a sustainable and renewable alternative to fossil fuels and traditional biomass fuels for industrial steam generation. Although these fuels can be lower in cost, they are often more difficult to utilize. There are a wide variety of options with each fuel source’s impurities being unique in type and level. It is important to understand the inorganic chemical makeup of the fuel to avoid potential ash issues.

Creating Power Quality surveys with PQ-Box and WinPQ mobil software

haddow — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:53:12 +0000

Electrical power grids are technical systems with many interacting contributors such as energy loads, generators, storage systems or compensation equipment. These devices are all somehow connected and therefore they need to work in a way that they do not negatively affect other devices in an inadmissible manner.

LVRSys® Low-Voltage Regulation System

This system was developed to solve voltage stability problems due to the integration of electromobility, photovoltaics and heat pumps in the low-voltage grid. It represents an economical and flexible alternative to costly and time-consuming line extensions.

Angle determination of voltage and current harmonics in practice

haddow — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:46:24 +0000

Today, there are hardly any consumers that draw a purely sinusoidal current from the energy grid. As soon as a system draws a current that is not sinusoidal, current harmonics are present in addition to the fundamental oscillation. These current harmonics generate corresponding voltage drops and thus voltage harmonics via the grid impedance in the grid. If the levels of the voltage harmonics rise above the permitted compatibility levels of the applicable power quality standards, the user would like a power quality network analyser to provide information about the cause of these frequencies.
