Coal and wood co-fired boiler technology has been significantly advancing in the past years, but many of their capabilities remain unknown to much of the industry today. The term "co-firing," when used by members of the biomass or utility communities, has come to mean mixing a modest amount of clean, dry sawdust with coal and burning the sawdust coal mixture in the existing coal firing equipment of a large, coal-burning, utility boiler. This work serves as a guideline to allow for coal-wood co-fired boilers to be sized, priced, implemented, and operated properly based on facility information. Information about the equipment that is required for the boiler replacement project is provided. This work also recognizes energy savings that would be available upon installation as compared to other types of boilers. The energy savings that are available as a result of implementing these types of boilers present very significant cost savings.
