Combustion gases dwell in Extended Combustion
Chamber for 1-2 seconds for complete combustion
of biomass fuel.
Combustion begins in Primary Combustion Chamber
through the use of Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary Air.
Gases enter the Boiler for Thermal Recovery.
Gases enter the high efficiency Emissions Control
Device to eliminate unwanted particulates and
fly-ash.
Clean gases exit the system through the Stack.
All the while, the Induced Draft Fan maintains
negative pressure throughout the system.
