Introduction / Motivation

1. Biomass combustion plants account for a significant proportion of total particulate emissions.

2. Both primary and secondary measures for the reduction of particulate matter are needed.

3. Electrostatic precipitation (ESP) is tried and tested means of reducing dust emissions in large facilities.

4. The use of ESP in small-scale furnaces was investigated in a first project (degree of precipitation, suitability in brick-built chimneys and durability) .

Field -measurement long -term test

� DiSC (Diffusion Size Classifier): Measures particle number from 3 to 300 nm (particulate matter).

� OPC (Optical Particle Counter): Measures particle size and size of 0.3 - 30 µm

� Gravimetric filter method with 2 Wöhler measuring devices (before and after the ESP, extraction opening against and in flow direction).

� Gas analyzer (O2, CO2, CO, OGC) online before and after the ESP.

� Process variables of the ESP (current, voltage, etc.).

� Dust collected from the chimney sweep.

Tested Furnaces1. Log boiler, 40 kW, combustion automatically controlled, 6 h burning time.

Fireplace: Ø = 180 mm, L = 11.4 m. Fuel: Hardwood, approx. 50 kg. Tflue gas = 212 ° C

2. Log chimney, 9 kW (mostly overloaded, ca. 15 kW). Fireplace: Ø = 250 mm, L = 8 m. Fuel: Hardwood 10-15 kg per burning cycle, Tflue gas = 320 ° C

3. Pellet stove, 9 kW. Fireplace: Øupper = 150 mm, Ølower = 80 mm, L = 6 m, with 90° redirection
