This is probably not one of the most asked questions on this forum so hopefully someone can assist me with this.
I have a customer that has a sawmill in the middle of nowhere. They have a fairly we'll automated boiler combustion system and controls to maintain the integrity and lifespan of the step grate furnace to the boiler.
The problem they have is that they have excess fuel that they need to get rid of. Burning it is an environmental issue so that is out of the question.
The customer wants to burn the wood waste in the boiler and generate steam but has no idea what to do with this excess steam. Venting to atmosphere is noisy and also wastes water and chemicals.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with this steam that is not too costly and as simple as possible.
We are installing 120m of new 10" steam lines to the plant and the the customer wants us to leave off the insulation so they an use more fuel but we do not want to do this as we are concerned with all the associated problems with excess water in a steam line.
Please help.
