Hybrid RG
Solid Fuel Boilers
The Hybrid RG design is suitable for applications to
produce high pressure steam or hot water in ranges from 3,450 - 60,000
lbs/hr (3.4 mm BTU - 60 mm BTU) output from 100 up to 400 PSI. This system
is designed by HBC to combine the best technologies from the "old
school" of biomass combustion and the latest advanced combustion
control technologies. The new HBC reciprocating grate-type stoker system
permits biomass fuels with a high proportion of incombustibles to be
combusted in an efficient manner with the added advantage of automatic
de-ashing. This combination is particularly suitable for heating applications
in lumber dry kilns, veneer log vats, veneer dryers, greenhouses, factories,
schools and office buildings. This combination enables these systems
to provide a flexible and reliable operation utilizing a consistent "grade" of
biomass waste with moisture contents ranging from 30 - 50%. The boiler
vessel is a two pass hybrid design incorporating a water tubed boiler-type
water membrane and a two-pass fire tube scotch marine vessel. This vessel's
advantages over standard water tube boilers include much larger steam
disengagement area providing high quality steam, larger steam storage
capability for quicker response to sudden steam demand and much larger
thermal storage that provides fast demand response times and safer operation.
