Practical Energy Transition

The Co-firing Challenge Solved

Coal-fired power plants face increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining generation reliability, thermal stability, and asset utilization. Co-firing offers a practical transition pathway by introducing a controlled percentage of biomass into the existing fuel mix.

TISI supports this transition with PKS and EFB Pellet supply solutions designed around product consistency, technical specifications, required volume, boiler compatibility, and scheduled delivery.

Co-firing can help power producers begin reducing coal consumption without immediately replacing the entire generation infrastructure.

Boiler Compatibility Analysis

Biomass selection should consider boiler technology, fuel feeding, milling requirements, particle characteristics, combustion behavior, and the target co-firing ratio.

🔥

Pulverized Coal Boiler

Often evaluated with EFB Pellet

Pulverized Coal systems typically require fuel that can be handled, ground, and introduced through established milling and feeding arrangements. Densified EFB Pellet may offer practical handling and size-reduction advantages, subject to plant-specific testing.

✓ Greater density than loose EFB material
✓ More manageable transportation and storage
✓ Potentially easier preparation for fine feeding
Indicative Application Progressive low-to-medium co-firing ratios
⚙️

Fluidized Bed Boiler

Highly compatible with Palm Kernel Shell

Fluidized Bed Boilers can accommodate a broader variety of solid fuels and particle sizes. PKS is commonly considered for these systems due to its combustion characteristics, manageable size, and industrial energy potential.

✓ Strong combustion characteristics
✓ Practical handling and fuel-bed performance
✓ Suitable for higher biomass utilization levels
Indicative Application Co-firing through full biomass utilization
Operational Reliability

Mitigation of Technical Risks

Biomass quality can directly influence combustion stability, boiler efficiency, deposit formation, corrosion exposure, and maintenance requirements. TISI coordinates product verification to support more predictable operational performance.

🛡️

Slagging & Fouling Control

Excessive ash and unsuitable mineral composition may contribute to deposits on furnace surfaces and boiler tubes, reducing thermal efficiency and increasing cleaning requirements.

TISI Quality Focus Low ash targets, representative sampling, and laboratory verification based on agreed product specifications.
🔧

Corrosion Control

Sulfur, chlorine, moisture, and combustion conditions can influence corrosion exposure within boilers and heat-exchange components.

TISI Quality Focus Technical parameter assessment, moisture management, and specification alignment before shipment.
🌡️

Stable Thermal Output

Variation in calorific value, moisture, particle size, and foreign material can cause unstable fuel feeding and fluctuating thermal performance.

TISI Quality Focus Product preparation, size management, moisture checking, and consistent supply coordination.
From Sustainable Source to Your Boiler

Coordinated supply for continuous energy generation

Large-scale power applications require more than suitable biomass. They require disciplined sourcing, quality control, consolidation, logistics planning, and dependable delivery.
