Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

The experiences carried out with the 250 kW\(_{th}\) fixed-grate combustion unit provided a general knowledge about the combustion performance of brassica and poplar. They have highlighted the implications that the peculiarities of the fuels and, particularly, the ash attributes and fractionation behavior during combustion had on the overall combustion process efficiency.
