  • Patent number: 6588349
    Abstract: System for drying a damp biofuel, includes a boiler (1) for combustion of the fuel. Further, the system includes a first heat drying chamber (2), a drying gas flow (3) heated by the thermal energy of the combustion gases from the boiler and/or by steam, the gas flow being passed into the first heat drying chamber, and a fuel supply (4) for passing the fuel into the first heat drying chamber. The system includes a second heat drying chamber (5), an intermediate heating unit (6) for heating the drying gas flow before the second heat drying chamber, an intermediate supply (7) for passing the fuel from the first heat drying chamber into the second heat drying chamber, a boiler supply (8) for passing the fuel from the final heat drying chamber into the boiler and an outlet (9) for passing the flow of drying gas from the final heat drying chamber into the boiler.

  • Patent number: 5639434
    Abstract: Process for removing nitrogen oxides from the flue gases of a soda recovery boiler of a pulp mill. In the method, to the flue gases of the soda recovery boiler is at first fed an oxidizing agent, such as chlorine dioxide or ozone, which oxidizes nitrogen oxide to nitrogen dioxide. Subsequently, the flue gases are led into a flue gas scrubber, in which a reagent coming from the circulation of chemicals of the pulp mill is injected into the flue gases, which reagent brought into contact with the nitrogen dioxide reduces the nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen. The flue gas containing nitrogen is led out of the scrubber and the oxidized reagent is led back to the circulation of chemicals of the pulp mill.
