Biomass Key to Industrial Energy Supply

Biomass Key to Industrial Energy
Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Based on a report by IRENA ( International Renewable Energy Agency) biomass is the most important technology to increase industrial renewable energy use. That’s because biomass energy is part of the emerging market of CHP or Combined Heat and Power.

CHP is already being used by many industries all over the world for power in manufacturing plants, however it does not receive a lot of press here in the US. But things are changing and the drive to develop new and innovative ways of producing and using CHP are in the works.

Also known as cogeneration, CHP, has the potential to save US businesses billions of dollars by using waste products and waste heat to produce power to be used in the manufacturing process. In the Midwest alone the industry has announced plans to build over 30 CHP projects between 2014 and 2016.

A growing source for CHP is biomass. This could take the form of wood chips, agriculture waste or other waste products. Designs already exist for automatic feeding of waste products into high temperature furnaces used for the burning of waste to generate steam for use in factories and plants. Steam is a common form of energy used in many plants, particularly in chemical, petrochemical, food processing and textile industries.

CHP has the potential to use our waste to create power and at the same time protect the environment by keeping millions of tons of CO2 and other pollutants from entering our air, land and streams.

Our Products
- Helicoid Flight
  
  Helicoid flight is a continuous one-piece helix formed from square or rectangle bar, round bar or cut plate.
- Sectional Flight
  
  Sectional flights are individual turns, wraps, or segments of wraps formed into a helix.
- Ribbon Flight
  
  Ribbon flight is a continuous, large diameter one-piece helix formed from bar or cut plate.
- Shaftless Flight
  
  Shaftless flight is heavier gauge helicoid flight that is produced to outside diameter and pitch specifications with an open center. This product works well when moving sticky products and large sized lumps.
- Complete Screws
  
  Falcon has the machining and assembly capabilities to manufacture the most complicated and demanding conveyor augers and mixing screws to our customers’ specifications. Complete screw weldments or augers are produced by mounting helical or sectional flight to a shaft, pipe, flange, hub, posts or other means to turn the screw.
- Maintenance & Repairs
  
  One of the inherent problems associated with conveyor screws, augers and auger flighting is wear. Falcon’s experience and expertise saves our customers time and money by repairing existing assemblies rather than building new.
