Purowin Technology - Ultra-Low Dust Emissions without Filter for Wood Chips and Pellets as Fuel
Short Introductive summary
Small-scale residential biomass combustion for space heating and warm water production holds a considerable share on the total energy production from biomass. As one of the main technologies for a reduction of the GHG and based on the objectives of the European Green Deal it is expected that the market potential for small-scale biomass boilers will further increase within the next years. One of the main-disadvantages of conventional technology of biomass-combustion in residential heating appliances compared to fossil fuel fired systems are still the PM emissions. The increase of biomass utilisation in residential heating must be combined with a decrease of harmful emissions by substituting old appliances by new ones and introducing new ultra-low emission technologies. Thus, new and sustainable technologies for residential heating with high efficiency and low emissions (with a special focus on dust) are required to meet this goal.
