Anyone operating a biomass power plant recognizes the importance of achieving a stable power output in spite of fluctuations in the fuel supply. Power plants that can handle multiple fuels, for example both woody and straw biomass, offer greater flexibility and lower dependence on a single fuel source. However, when mixing fuels the variations in properties such as moisture content, ash content and fusion temperatures pose specific challenges to the plant performance and require modifications to the boiler design.

DP CleanTech has focused much of its resources on optimizing the mixed fuel power plant solution. DP CleanTech will engineer dual feeding systems and make boiler modifications specific to the fuel mix. Today, DP CleanTech has 25 mixed fuel power plants in operation around the world.
