Why Wood is the Fuel of Choice?

Let’s talk about that.

  • Wood fired steam boiler has gained prominence for its environmental benefits and economic viability.
    The use of wood as a fuel source offers several advantages. Wood is a renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly choice for sustainable energy production. The carbon footprint of wood is significantly lower than fossil fuels, as the carbon released during combustion is part of the natural carbon cycle.
  • The composition of wood includes cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which, when burned, release a high energy value. The calorific value of wood ranges from 3,000 to 4,000 kilocalories per kilogram, providing ample heat for steam generation. This high energy density makes wood an efficient fuel for steam boilers, reducing the amount of fuel required to produce a given amount of heat.
  • Globally, wood fired steam boilers are increasingly popular, especially in Southeast Asia. Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are leveraging their abundant biomass resources to meet energy demands sustainably. These boilers are commonly used in various industries, including food processing, textiles, and palm oil production. The adoption of wood fired steam boiler design in these regions has been driven by the need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly heating solutions. Furthermore, the use of wood helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, aligning with global sustainability goals.

ZOZEN Boiler offers a range of wood fired steam boiler designs to meet diverse industrial needs.

The following are key models available:

  1. DZL single-drum series wood fired steam boiler design
    Capacity of 2 – 10 t/h, with a working pressure of 1 – 2.5 MPa and a working temperature of 170 – 225℃.
    The DZL series quick-assembly boiler is a horizontal three-pass water-fire tube chain grate boiler that burns biomass. With this wood fired steam boiler design, the boiler body is a single drum arranged longitudinally, with threaded smoke tubes forming the convective heating surface. The drum and the side water-cooled walls form the radiant heating surface of the furnace. The combustion equipment utilizes a light chain grate;
    the whole unit is factory assembled.
  2. DZL three-drum series wood fired steam boiler design
    Capacity of 15 – 40 t/h, with working pressures of 1.25 MPa / 1.6 MPa / 2.5 MPa and working temperatures of 194℃ / 204℃ / 225℃.
    The DZL series third-generation biomass boiler is a water tube boiler composed of three drums.
    With this wood fired steam boiler design, the boiler features an assembled structure, consisting of two main components: the upper component as the heating surface and the lower component as the combustion equipment. The front of the boiler body is surrounded by water-cooled walls, connecting to the upper drum and the lower header, forming a combustion chamber to absorb radiant heat; the rear part has convection tube bundles arranged between the upper and lower drums. After fuel combustion, high-temperature flue gas sweeps across the heating surface of the convection tube bundles before entering the economizer and
    finally the dust collector for discharge through the chimney.
  3. SZL series wood fired steam boiler design
    Capacity of 6 – 35 t/h, with working pressures of 1 – 2.5 MPa and working temperatures of 184 – 350℃.
    The SZL series biomass boiler is designed based on international advanced technology and experience,
    With this wood fired steam boiler design, the boiler body is featuring a chain grate water tube boiler with a horizontal double-drum, vertical layout. The boiler consists of two main components: the upper component serves as the heating surface, while the lower part houses the combustion equipment. The front of the boiler body is surrounded by water-cooled walls, which connect to the upper drum and the lower header, forming a combustion chamber to absorb radiant heat. The rear end has convection tube bundles; after combustion, high-temperature flue gas passes through the convection heating surface before entering a separately arranged economizer and then a dust collector for discharge.
  4. SHL series wood fired steam boiler design
    Capacity of 10 – 75 t/h, with working pressures of 1.25 – 2.5 MPa and working temperatures of 184 – 400℃.
    The SHL series bulk steam boiler is a dual-drum, horizontally arranged natural circulation water tube boiler. With this wood fired steam boiler design, the boiler body consists of water-cooled walls forming the furnace and the boiler body composed of upper and lower drums with convection tube bundles. The rear features an economizer and an air preheater, while the combustion equipment includes various grate types, such as stepped and reciprocating grates, with infinitely variable speed control. The unit is bulk shipped and assembled on-site.
