Biomass

Biomass encompasses a wide range of fuels: wood chips, forest residues, pellets, short rotation coppice, agricultural waste, organic residues and sludge, wood waste.

 

Leroux & Lotz Technologies offers a broad array of technologies suitable to process all biomass kinds into energy generation:

  • Rotary or vibrating stepped grate
  • Bubbling or circulating fluidised-bed combustion or coal-biomass co-firing
  • Multifuel burners for biomass and fossil fuels
  • Gasification

Our technologies allow for enhanced adaptation to every fuel mix, be it standardised or evolutionary, and to every project, new-build or fuel-changeover operations.

Leroux & Lotz Technologies and Inova propose a full range of solutions from boiler islands up to turnkey plants, including fuel preparation and network connection.

Leroux & Lotz Technologies and Inova can operate together or separately on facility construction or retrofitting projects.
