Workshop Topics:

• Project Planning and Management
  A review of critical issues to consider in developing a biomass/solid-fuel project. Learn tips, techniques and suggestions for developing design criteria or specifications and selecting engineering and equipment vendors to ensure the success of the project within budget.
  
  
• Boiler Selection and Design
  An overview of boiler configurations for different types of biomass such as wood, ag waste, sludge or other solid byproducts or wastes. Learn guidelines for dealing with moisture and ash content and the “Rules of Thumb” for selecting and sizing combustion and boiler components.
  
  
• Fuel and Ash Handling
  A primer on the available types of solid-fuel feed and ash-handling systems. Learn guidelines and suggestions on how to select them and how to ensure reliable, low maintenance operation.
  
  
• Fan Selection
  A guide to the selection and design of combustion-air and exhaust fans. Learn which configurations, features and preventive maintenance procedures insure long life and reliable operation.
  
  
• Carbon Credits & Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
  A discussion on the development of RECs for electricity and process heat applications. Special focus on Carbon Credits for applications were Renewable Portfolio Standards do not allow REC generation.
  
  
• Energy Capture and System Efficiency Optimization
  A presentation of energy capture and efficiency optimization technologies that offer the prospect of supplemental electric power generation. Discussion of how such an integrated approach can provide favorable economics and environmental benefits.
  
  
• Air Pollution Control
  A review of air pollution control techniques including scrubbers, filters and precipitators with comparison of the advantages and limitations of each technology. Special consideration is given to multi-pollutant control for smaller systems and for problematic fuels.
  
  
• Project Financing and Incentives
  A guide to performing an economic evaluation of your project, how to obtain financing, where to find and how to qualify for financial incentives including grants, tax credits and rate subsidies.
  
  
• Permitting Issues
  What about Boiler MACT? A review of the permitting issues and procedures that filled the void following the overturning of the EPA’s Boiler MACT rules.
