University of Missouri
Missouri, USA
B&W designed, engineered and supplied a biomass-fueled bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler to replace the University of Missouri’s existing coal-fired boiler, and to provide the university campus with electricity and steam for heating and other uses. Designed to burn chipped hardwoods and various local opportunity fuels near the university campus, the boiler will produce lower sulfur dioxide emissions and less ash than a typical coal-fired boiler.
