Abstract
Abstract Bio-oils from loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and white oak (Quercus alba) wood were produced by the laboratory scale auger reactor located at the Department of Forest Products, Mississippi State University (MSU). The bio-oils were esterified to boiler fuel by a technology developed at MSU. The testing of esterified bio-oil combustion was performed at Natchez Trace Greenhouses located in Kosciusko, Mississippi. At the greenhouse facility an idled natural gas/diesel boiler was retrofit with a highly aerated fuel injection system. Fifteen gallons of loblolly pine esterified boiler fuel and 15 gallons of white oak boiler fuel were successfully combusted in the retrofit boiler.
