Notes on biomass fuel, wood chips, rubberwood pellets, and industrial fuel choices.
Wood ash fuses at lower temperatures than coal ash because of its potassium content. Which variables an engineer can actually change, and how much of the cause is the fuel.
The cost-per-unit-of-heat calculation for procurement teams, plus the six costs that never appear on a quotation.
Whether combustion gas can reach the product in an indirect steam system, and what genuinely changes for a food or seafood processor.
Hotels run steam year-round for laundry and hot water. What the switch to pellets actually saves, and the constraints to accept before committing.
Calorific value, moisture and chip size for rubberwood chips — the three numbers your boiler cares about, and how to choose between 10 mm and 30 mm.
