摘要
The actual 2-day engineering test operation at an alcohol production plant confirmed that dried cassava-root chips in bulk could be directly fired on a travelling-stoker boiler furnace of a steam turbine-electric generator set. The boiler generated 17-bar pressure and WO-degree Celcius temperature steam at a rate of 42 tons per hour and the furnace consumed about 6 metric tons of dried cassava - root chips per hour. A new kind of biomass fuel was later discovered from dried cassava-rhizome chips which could be burnt in a small stoker- fired boiler furnace. The boiler produced 2-bar pressure and 120-degree Celcius temperature steam at a rate of 55 kilograms per hour, suitable for processing of agricultural products in rural areas, at a fuel cost 50% lower than that from dried cassava-root chips.
