Emission from combustion of biomass

Typical uncontrolled emissions from biomass combustion in boilers

• Particulates : 12.5 - 15 (kg per ton biomass)
• Organic compounds : 1 (kg per ton biomass)
• Sulphur dioxide : < 1.5 (kg per ton biomass)
• Nitrogen oxides : 5 (kg per ton biomass)
• Carbon monoxide : 1 (kg per ton biomass)

In addition there is ashes to dispose.

Particulates are typically removed 99% in industrial boilers.
