Additional info
A normal diesel burner raises the combustion chamber up to operating temperature, then the manure is dropped onto a bed of sand and combustion starts. The diesel is no longer needed after start-up – the plant can operate using only manure. The BHSL fluidised bed has been proven to accept a wide range of forest and agricultural biomass fuels. To aid combustion maximum air recirculation is used. The combustion chamber (furnace) is equipped with a gas oil burner used for start-up purposes and to support combustion in the event of abnormal or upset conditions. The furnace has been designed to ensure that the fuel conversion to heat energy is complete and with a minimum of undesirable emissions. The furnace is lined with refractory designed to withstand the operating temperatures.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings heat use
- Tractors and vehicles fuel consumption
- Tools and equipment fuel consumption
- Animal healthcare
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
