Abstract

Biomass or sewage sludge utilized as additional fuel in coal combustion systems has consequences on combustion behaviour, emissions, corrosion, and residual matter. Therefore, at the beginning of 1993 the European Union launched a project called "Combined Combustion of Biomass/Sewage Sludge and Coal". Within this project, the effects of burning sewage sludge and agricultural residuals such as straw and manure as well as specially grown energy plants in combination with coals of various ranks and origin were studied for the most common large-scale systems in order to establish both the optimum and the technically achievable process modifications necessary for co-combustion.
