Abstract

Co-combustion tests were performed in a lab-scale fluidised bed reactor, in order to define (a) the optimum percentage for substituting Greek lignite by waste wood, and (b) the operation conditions ensuring complete burnout of the fuel blends. Tests were performed at the experimental facility of the NTUA’s Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants Laboratory (NTUA-LSB). Pre-dried lignite, from Ptolemais reserve, and various waste wood species, i.e. uncontaminated wood, demolition timber and railway sleepers, were used to prepare the fuel blends. In all tests, the emissions in flue gases - CO, SO2, N2O, NOx, NO, NO2 and CXHY — were continuously monitored.
