MULTIPLE FUELS IN MULTIMEDIA ENERGY PLANTS FOR MDF PRODUCTION
MDF production requires large amounts of energy. Most of the demand of energy is thermal: steam for the cooking and refining process, hot gas for drying and thermal oil for the continuous press. VYNCKE offers customized energy solutions, burning a wide variety of process fuels and external fuels (all types of biomass). The energy plant can be designed to produce steam in a direct way (through an integrated steam boiler) or in an indirect way via a thermal oil-steam heat exchanger. The system can be adjusted to produce electricity.

WOOD WASTE-FIRED MULTIMEDIA ENERGY PLANT
Already the 3rd VYNCKE solution for this MDF producer, this plant was installed to cover the increased energy demand due to the increase in the production capacity. This is a multi-fuel installation designed to burn the production waste.
A DWS water-cooled step grate burns the coarser fuel, while the dusty fuel is injected higher in the combustion chamber. Once the combustion is complete, one part of the heat is transferred to the thermal oil heater, while the other remaining hot gases are sent directly to the customer’s drying process. After the flue gases have left the thermal oil heater they are cleaned in an ESP filter and are injected back into the furnace where they give the opportunity to control and optimize the combustion process.
