• Low emission operation of automatic wood boilers operated in cascades

  Feb 2023

  This report concerns installation of cascades of three or more usually identical serial devices of smaller wood boilers as an alternative to industrial boilers, and how their operation affects emissions. Cascades of smaller boilers can be used where space is more limited, and they will allow for production to be less affected by periodic maintenance, […]
