Biomass and Alternate Fuel Systems
An Engineering and Economic Guide
Thomas F. McGowan (Redaktør) ; Michael L. Brown (Redaktør) ; William S. Bulpitt (Redaktør) ; James L. Walsh (Redaktør)
This book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especially biomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environment-friendly
methods of handling, storing and burning these fuels. It is complete with the economic evaluation method, introduction of the pollution control equipment for limiting the emission from fuel
combustion, case studies, and costs and carbon emission comparisons between conventional and alternate fuels. Les mer

This book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especially biomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environment-friendly
methods of handling, storing and burning these fuels. It is complete with the economic evaluation method, introduction of
the pollution control equipment for limiting the emission from fuel combustion, case studies, and costs and carbon emission
comparisons between conventional and alternate fuels. Many case studies are introduced here too. This book is an update and
expansion of the "Industrial Wood Energy Handbook" by a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1984. It introduces
new technologies new technologies not available at the time of the early version.
