ProcessBarron was again asked to contribute a featured article for Biomass Products & Technology. The April issue focuses on biomass material handling. Cliff Moss, VP and Director of Material Handling at ProcessBarron, detailed the “Best Material Handling Practices When Converting from Coal to Biomass.”

There are many reasons conversions have been slow to materialize, but a common thread is the lack of familiarity with biomass fuel characteristics, particularly in the utility industry. As the promising transition to biomass fuels gains traction, the biomass industry must gain a better understanding of what it takes for plants to successfully convert from coal-firing to biomass-firing facilities… From selecting the right engineering team, to understanding how biomass fuels will affect the boiler and its surrounding equipment, proper planning and understanding of common pitfalls will improve the likelihood of a successful coal-to-biomass plant conversion.
