Webb Burner® Biomass Solid Fuel Combustion Systems
Jackson began selling Webb Burners® over ten years ago, to
answer the need for a more economical way of drying wood shavings. Now,
in cooperation with inventor and physicist W. B. Webb, we manufacture a
complete line of biomass burners available in sizes up through 60
million BTU/hr.
These cyclonic suspension burners are ideal for generating large
quantities of heat
for industrial processes, at substantially less cost per BTU than
traditional oil- or gas-fired systems. They may be fired with a variety
of solid fuels including sawdust, corn cobs, sunflower hulls, flax
shives, pelletized wood, charcoal, peat, and coal dust. Moisture
content must be less than 20% and maximum particle size is 1/2".
Fuel is augured out of the storage bin by the fuel feeder unit, and
blown into the biomass burner. There, complete combustion occurs in
semi-suspension within seconds, resulting in emissions rivaling those
of natural gas burners. There is no smoke (except when the fire is
first lit), and carbon monoxide, VOC, SOx, or NOx
emissions are extremely low. In addition, the extremely rapid
combustion process allows
quick response to changing process loads.
Hot gases from combustion exhaust into the hot gas transfer duct at the
top of the biomass burner, and are drawn through the duct into the
downstream process by induced draft fan(s) in the same manner as with a
traditional fossil-fuel burner.
The biomass burner is lined with an excellent combination of
refractories to assure best heat retention and long burner life. The
stack and hot gas transfer duct are lined with a high-temperature light
weight insulating refractory. All steel surfaces are painted with high
temperature anti-oxidant paint.
Complete biomass burner control panel provides automatic modulation of
firing rate based on process outlet temperature (or other appropriate
process parameter), and monitors burner and process inlet temperatures
for safety shutdown in case of temperature extremes. Controls are
approved by all major insurance underwriters.
The first Webb Burner® was developed and installed by Mr. Webb in 1979,
and there are many units currently in operation in various applications
across the country and around the world. We will be happy to arrange a
visit to see one in operation.
