Control system for feeding biomass boilers

Development of a control system for biomass and heterogeneous wastes feeding, for its implementation in biomass boilers and other valorization processes, more robust, reliable, precise and stable than the current:

• Optimum plant operation with an adequate regulation of the flow fed
• Ensure feeding system reliability
• Develop a solids flow model
• Implement a logic control of the feeding system by adaptive control principles

• Project leader and activities coordinator
• Critical review of existing problems
• Demonstration feeding tests in the 2MWt bubbling fluid bed gasifier located in the BIO2C
• Solids flow model development
• Implementation of a new adaptive control system
• Integration and validation of the new control algorithm in long-term tests
