Best Practice Guide on Biomass Handling and Biomass/Coal Co-handling
The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology has produced a report entitled Best Practice Guide on Biomass Handling and Biomass/Coal Co-handling.
This was prepared for the Power Industry with funding and collaboration from the British Coal Utilisation Research Association and E-On UK Ltd by former PhD student, Dr NS Khan as part of his project with the aid of his supervisors, Prof MSA Bradley and Dr RJ Berry.
The report arose as a direct output of the project, which set out to look at identifying and resolving common problems of fuel handling in co-firing of coal and biomass, however the findings are equally applicable to handling of biomass alone. The study involved the active participation of E-On UK in collating experiences gained over the period from about 1999 to 2007, as well as extensive characterisation and handling trials at The Wolfson Centre. The resulting document is intended as a guide for engineers, maintenance personnel, managers and procurement executives with responsibility for obtaining and operating equipment for handling of biomass either alone or mixed with coal, in solid-fuel-fired power stations.

About us
Our Mission: To help industry to get it's powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to!
Our Services:
- Consultancy
- Research
- Short Courses
Our Clients:
Industries involved in the processing of powders, particulates and other bulk solids materials from across the spectrum including (but not limited to) food and drink, pharmaceuticals, minerals, renewable energy, chemicals, plastics, recycling, metals, household goods, paper, cosmetics, textiles and rubber.
Ranging from small local companies to international conglomerates.
Our industrial-scale pilot plant is available to test a processing step, or mock up a whole handling process or logistics chain, at full scale or near full scale. This can be used to find and solve the problems off-line, then when you transfer the same process or material to your own or your customers' plant, you can be confident it will work!
Our Experts have over one hundred man-years of experience in solving bulk materials handling problems. Along with a team of Researchers they concentrate on nothing else but the needs of Industry – and are at your disposal.
Our location offers excellent transport links within the UK and EU enabling us to provide a prompt and flexible response to site visit requests and client meetings.
