Biomass wood fired boilers
Burning biomass creates high levels of PM

, which includes sub-micron sized particles,
which are not visible to the naked eye. The emissions depend on the type of boiler, mode of
operation, as well as the type, quality, size and moisture content of the wood.
Because of this, some authorities have imposed restrictions on the use of biomass wood fired
boilers.
At

®
we have designed filtration media to resolve these problems, resulting in ceramic
filter elements coated with a micro-porous surface finish which will trap sub-micron particles.
Between 2007 & 2012 we have installed over 250 biomass ceramic filtration units, on boilers
ranging from 50kW to 7MW capacity. The filter system is controlled via a PLC which regulates
the on-board inverter and hence the filter exhaust fan speed, the PLC also controls a number of
other features such as cleaning, bypass and temperature interlocks.
