Behaviour of Electrostatic Filters in Terms of Co-Combustion of Brown Coal and Biomass

While there isan increasing number of publications on the problems encountered in co-combustion of coal and biomass in traditional boilers, there are still not many papers with the experimental results regarding electrostatic filters in these conditions. In the thermal power plant “Kakanj”, an experimental study was implemented on the effects of co-combustion of brown coal and biomass (wood chips), primarily with the aim of monitoring the effects on CO₂ emissions and the state of the boiler. Experimental co-combustion of coal and biomass has been used to explore the behaviour of the electrostatic filter. Monitoring the behaviour of electric values of the electrostatic filter was carried out in a campaign of brown coal combustion only, and in the campaign of co-combustingbrown coal and biomass.
