INTRODUÇÃO DE CALDEIRA DE BIOMASSA EM UMA FÁBRICA DO RAMO DE NUTRIÇÃO ANIMAL UTILIZANDO CAVACO DE EUCALIPTO COMO COMBUSTÍVEL

Abstract

The progressive increase in the price of oil and its derivatives, the carbon credits, the concern with the environment the precipitation deficit supporters of rain water and lack of water resources that the Brazil suffered in the year 2014 promoted a migration of participation of energy sources in the brazilian energy matrix. The present work aims at the study of the use of wood chips as an alternative to burning biomass in a firetube boiler in a factory that needs the steam as a driving force for the functioning of its equipment and various operations, as the pipe cleaner, seeking the optimization of the cost of production of the steam, it was examined whether, economically, through simulations, replacing the old boiler using Gas as fuel for biomass boiler. Pointing the introduction project as a whole, the benchmark brings an introduction about boilers, fuel and immediately after application is introduced the proposal of necessity and the boiler project, its components, all care when storing biomass and your viability, based on studies of the increase in the cost of gas, concern with preserving the environment and reducing costs. It was used for the study, the boiler of a pet food manufacturer located in the Três Corações, interior of the State of Minas Gerais, which currently employs as fuel the eucalyptus chips to generate steam, which is used in the production of feed. After the introduction of the boiler, the project complied with your order, the results were favorable and the optimization of costs is paramount.
