Abstract

Grate firing is one of the main competing technologies in biomass combustion for steam and electricity generation. Ashgenerated in the furnace during combustion process would greatly reduce the boiler thermal performance and may lead tounscheduled shutdown. The focus of this study is to optimize the combustion characteristics of the mixture of palm kernelshell (PKS) and selected additives (Al2O3, MgO and CaO) to develop a fuel mixture of low ash yield and higher heatingvalue (HHV). D-Optimal Design under Cross Methodology of Design Expert (6. 08) was employed to mix the componentsalongside various particle sizes. The mixed samples were ashed in a muffle furnace (848 K) to a constant weight and theirHHV were determined using Ballistic Bomb Calorimeter. Combustion test based on optimized PKS additive mixture wasconducted with a 5 kW grate furnace from which the effects of varying the ratio of primary to secondary air flow rate ontemperatures and flue gas compositions from the furnace were measured. The ash obtained after combustion process wascharacterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the purpose of identifying the mineral phase compounds that are present inPKS and PKS-additive ash. The optimum composition obtained for the process was 2. 5, 0. 0, 5. 0, 92. 5% and 5. 50 mm foradditives (Al2O3, MgO, CaO), PKS and particle size, respectively. The composition resulted in lowest ash yield (0. 56%) andHHV (20. 64 kJ/g). The coefficient of determination (R2) (0. 7951 and 0. 7344) and least-square errors (0. 19 and 0. 024) of theprediction model indicated a close fitness to the experiment results obtained for ash yield and HHV. Primary to secondaryair ratio of (40: 60) recorded maximum temperature (1058 K), minimum level of CO (285 ppm) and 6% oxygen. XRD resultsshowed excellent interaction between PKS and additives. The appearance of potassium-alumino silicate (KAlSiO4) in thePKS-additive ash prevented the release of potassium chloride which has the ability to increase ash deposition and corrosion.
