Description
Book SynopsisUpdating the Industrial Wood Energy Handbook by a team from Georgia Tech, this book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especially biomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environmentally-friendly methods of handling, storing and burning these fuels.
Trade Review"Covering everything from the theory (such as energy content and physical properties of different fuels) to the practical (e.g. boiler, hopper and filter design), … this is a very useful guide." (
Enagri, November 2009)
