Emissions from Biomass Combustion

Combustion of biomasses and their emission. Calculate typical uncontrolled emissions from combustion of biomass in boilers.

Emission Type	Typical Emission Range/Value	Unit
Particulates	12.5 - 15	kg per ton biomass
Organic compounds	1	kg per ton biomass
Sulfur dioxide	< 1.5	kg per ton biomass
Nitrogen oxides	5	kg per ton biomass
Carbon monoxide	1	kg per ton biomass

Notes:

These values represent typical uncontrolled emissions from combustion of biomass in boilers
In addition there are ashes to dispose
Particulates are typically removed 99% in industrial boilers
