GERAÇÃO DE VAPOR NA INDÚSTRIA, ESTUDO DA VIABILIDADE DA SUBSTITUIÇÃO DE COMBUSTÍVEIS FÓSSEIS PARA BIOMASSA, COMBUSTÍVEL RENOVÁVEL

Abstract

This work consists of a feasibility study to replace fuel as a source of energy in the generation of steam for industry, replacement of fossil fuels for biomass, renewable energy. Where it presents a brief history of steam, types of steam generators, gas emissions, biomass characteristics and fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels generates gases, CO2, SOx and NOx, these gases are harmful to the planet, since biomass is an ecologically correct and renewable fuel. This study will compare a boiler burning natural gas x wood chip, where we will present the layout demanded for deployment, cost of investment, consumption of fuels, consumption of electric energy and the main, the environmental impact of gases generated by combustion. The information was obtained from a boiler manufacturer, located in the city of Varginha.
