Biomass & Energy Recovery

As industries shift toward sustainable energy solutions, the need for robust, efficient air movement systems in biomass and waste-to-energy processes has never been greater. At Fans and Blowers, we provide high-performance fans designed to handle combustion air, exhaust extraction, and flue gas recirculation in biomass boiler systems and energy recovery plants.

Our fans are engineered to operate reliably under high temperatures and corrosive environments, supporting optimal combustion, emissions control, and energy efficiency.

Fan Applications in Biomass Systems

In biomass and energy-from-waste (EfW) systems, fans play a critical role in maintaining stable combustion and managing airflow throughout the process. Common applications include:

• Combustion air supply to biomass burners
• Flue gas extraction post-combustion
• Air recirculation for improved combustion efficiency
• Cooling air for ash handling and emission filtration
• Support for gasification and thermal oxidation

These systems often operate under variable load and temperature conditions, making airflow stability and fan durability essential.

Built for Demanding Operating Conditions

Biomass combustion creates high temperatures and can release corrosive byproducts. Fans used in these systems must be able to withstand:

• Elevated exhaust temperatures
• Dust, ash, and moisture in the airflow
• Continuous, heavy-duty operation
• Potentially corrosive flue gases

Our fans are manufactured using high-grade materials, protective coatings, and thermal-resistant assemblies to ensure reliable, long-term performance.
