Biomass Systems: Design and Economic Evaluation

Properties, types and costs of biomass, Biomass conversion processes, heat and electricity generation, Exercise in parallel to the power supply of biomass systems, Incentive systems and collection, commercial energy injected into the network, Basic elements of capital-budgeting, Collection of plant biomass projects, Consumer Guide to BioSim_pro 1.0 software - economic simulator biomass.

Description:

Objective of the manual is to describe and guide the user in choosing and designing biomass systems, coming to draw up a project, complete the engineering and economic aspects needed to make an assessment of the investment by performing the new regulations and incentives. To do this, it will guide the user step by step, by comparison with the real design issues in relation to technological and environmental constraints of the site where the plant and to the prospect's budget will be installed. The text shows the architecture of biomass systems, providing the necessary elements to size correctly the installations; all in accordance with the regulations.

Topics Covered:

- Definition, availability, consumption and supply chain.
- Types and global analysis of conversion systems.
- Reactors, parameters and process analysis.
