Biomass Handling System

In today’s world the demand of fuel is rising day by day and the resources are very limited. Now people are thinking to use non-conventional sources of energy in place of conventional energy sources i.e. coal, oils and gases.

There are various options are available in non – conventional energy sources to take place of conventional sources of energy. The main conventional energy sources are Solar, Wind, Hydro power Biomass etc.

Every conventional energy sources have some limitations i.e. solar plants cannot run without the sun light in night also the climate plays an important role in the efficiency of any solar plant. Same things apply to wind and Hydro (Water) operated plants. Another the solar energy, wind energy or hydraulic energy cannot be stored for use in future.

But in the case of biomass these issued are not faced. The biomass can be stored as per the requirement and can be used based on the demand of power generation. The biomass fired power plant can be run in night also.

India is a country of farmers and we produced about 450-500 million tons of biomass per year. And using this we generate 32% of all the primary energy use in the country at present. Today we are using different kind of biomass to fulfill our requirement of energy i.e. wood chips, wood savings, saw dust, cotton stalk, rice husk, bagasse etc.

These biomass are available in different forms and sizes and so the handling of these is unique based on them. So the design of system for handling the biomass to be specific and full proof.

ZEUS is dealing with and making equipment for different kinds of biomass from many years. Some of the equipment used to match the process requirements are as under:

• Belt conveyor
• Apron Feeder
• Bucket elevator
• Screw conveyor
• Live Bottom Silo
• Drag Chain Conveyor
• High Angle Belt Conveyor
• Rotary screen
• Vibrating screen
