Biomass Power Plant Solutions
Sustainable Energy Generation from Renewable Solid Fuels
Overview
Biomass Power Plants convert renewable organic materials such as wood chips, agricultural residues, pellets, and organic waste into reliable electrical and thermal energy. Mechasol provides integrated biomass power plant solutions, covering fuel handling, combustion systems, steam generation, power island equipment, and balance-of-plant engineering.
Designed with a strong focus on efficiency, fuel flexibility, and environmental compliance, Mechasol biomass solutions support energy transition goals while delivering stable baseload power.
Engineering Philosophy & Plant Concept
Mechasol approaches biomass power plants as fully integrated energy systems, not as isolated boiler or turbine packages. Each plant is engineered based on:
Biomass fuel type, moisture content, and calorific value
Required electrical and thermal output
Grid connection or island operation requirements
Emission limits and environmental regulations
Availability and logistics of fuel supply
This system-oriented engineering ensures stable combustion, high availability, and optimized lifecycle cost.
Biomass Fuel Types & Flexibility
Mechasol biomass plants are designed to operate with a wide range of fuels, including:
Wood chips and bark
Agricultural residues (straw, husks, shells)
Biomass pellets
Organic industrial waste
Energy crops
Fuel flexibility is achieved through robust fuel handling systems, adaptive combustion technology, and advanced control systems.
Combustion & Boiler Technologies
Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boilers
Preferred for variable and low-grade biomass fuels.
Advantages
Uniform combustion temperature
High efficiency and low NOx formation
Excellent fuel flexibility
Reduced slagging and fouling
Grate Fired Biomass Boilers
Used for more homogeneous biomass fuels.
Features
Reciprocating or moving grate systems
Proven and robust mechanical design
Suitable for medium-scale power plants
Steam Generation & Power Island
Steam Boiler System
Biomass-fired steam boiler
Economizer and air preheater
Superheater and reheater sections
Steam Turbine & Generator
Condensing or back-pressure turbine
Power generation with optional heat recovery (CHP)
Generator, gearbox, and auxiliary systems
Mechasol integrates the boiler and turbine island to ensure stable steam conditions and maximum power output.
Heat Recovery & Cogeneration (CHP)
Biomass plants can be configured as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units, supplying:
Electricity to the grid or local loads
Process heat or district heating
This configuration significantly improves overall plant efficiency, often exceeding 80–85% total energy utilization.
Fuel Handling & Auxiliary Systems
A complete Mechasol biomass power plant includes:
Fuel reception and storage systems
Conveyors, feeders, and dosing units
Ash handling and disposal systems
Flue gas cleaning (cyclones, bag filters, ESP)
Water treatment and boiler feedwater systems
All auxiliary systems are engineered for continuous, automated operation.
Environmental Compliance & Emissions Control
Mechasol biomass plants are designed to meet strict environmental standards through:
Low-NOx combustion design
Flue gas treatment systems
Continuous emission monitoring (CEMS)
Ash management and reuse strategies
These measures ensure compliance with EU, international, and local environmental regulations.
Modular & EPC Delivery Models
Mechasol delivers biomass power plant projects as:
Modular skid-mounted systems
Containerized process units
Full EPC turnkey power plants
Scope includes engineering, procurement, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and operator training.
