Going Green with Wood Boiler Technology from Wellons FEI

If you are using huge amounts of water for your sawmill or greenhouse, then the wood boiler technology that Wellons FEI offers is just what you need. Wellons FEI has been in business since 1984, servicing the wood processing industry. With an expert team of engineers and scientists, they are helping businesses and municipal buildings reduce their carbon footprints by making use of special low or high pressure wood heating systems.

Energy Products

Wellons FEI not only offers wood boiler products but also offers other specialist equipment for your energy needs including storage bins, conveyors, combustion chamber, kilns, pollution control equipment, water treatment, ESP (electrostatic precipitator), and control systems. They manufacture everything in house which includes the design and building process. Wellons prides itself on offering its customers unique and complete energy systems.

Co-Generation

Part of the biomass wood boiler technology is to integrate co-gen or co-generation. This technology makes use of steam as a two phase product. Firstly, the steam is used as a source of heat for the system to work; and secondly, it is used for power. The boiler first produces high temperature, high pressure steam which is passed through a turbine to generate power. Instead of wasting the excess steam that would normally be expanded to the lowest possible pressure in the turbine before being sent to the condenser, the steam is kept at a higher pressure which is used for heating buildings or greenhouses or for other processes.

Emission Control with Cyclones

Wellons FEI makes use of cyclones to reduce carbon emissions and clean up gasses before they are expelled into the atmosphere. There are multiple 9 inch cyclones that work simultaneously to part about 70% to 80% of the particles from the gas. The strong centrifugal force created by these cyclones is what causes the gasses to separate. This means that there is a lot of abrasion on the vanes and tube components, which is why Wellons makes them from special abrasive resistant castings. Emission control is also about using an effective and reliable ESP or electrostatic precipitator. This component makes use of special electrodes to ensure that the air being released from stacks has been cleaned thoroughly according to regulations.

Custom Wood Boiler Products

Any wood boiler that Wellons FEI manufactures has been carefully and rigorously tested to ensure its safety and reliability. They are also fully ASME compliant, with your choice of water tube, fire tube, or hybrid designs. The type of tube used depends on the size of the boiler, with the water ones doing better in the larger boilers and the fire tubes preferring the medium to small sizes boilers. The wood boiler you need is custom made according to your requirement and is built with the connections and instrumentation exactly where you need them to be.

No matter what kind of energy solution you need, if you want to be green and environmentally friendly, Wellons FEI will be able to help. Their wood boiler and other energy systems have been used throughout North America for over 40 years, and they are constantly working on new technologies and eco-friendly heating systems.
