Feed mills, as an important part of the farming industry, have a high demand for energy. The traditional way of energy supply is characterized by high energy consumption and environmental pollution, which is not conducive to the sustainable development of the farming industry. In order to solve this problem, more and more feed mills are beginning to use biomass boilers as clean energy to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and realize environmentally friendly farming.
I. Characteristics of feed mills
Feed mills require a large amount of hot water and steam for the processing of feed ingredients and the operation of production equipment during the production process. However, traditional energy supply methods such as coal or fuel oil fuels have problems of emission pollution and high energy consumption, which are not conducive to environmental protection and energy saving.
II. the application of biomass boilers in the feed mill
Biomass boilers use renewable biomass resources as fuel, such as straw, wood chips, etc. Through gasification technology, the biomass is converted into gas to provide feed mills with the required heat and steam. Compared with traditional energy sources, biomass boilers have the following advantages:
- Environmental purification: Biomass boilers use SCR denitrification technology, which can effectively reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfides in the exhaust gas, significantly reducing the pollution of the environment.
- Cost advantage: biomass resources are widely available, the price is relatively stable, and the fuel cost of biomass boilers is low, which can reduce the energy costs of feed mills and improve economic efficiency.
- Sustainable development: The use of biomass as fuel not only reduces the dependence on fossil energy, but also promotes the recycling of biomass resources and realizes the sustainable development of energy.
III. Cost-benefit of investing in biomass gasifiers
Taking Jiangxi feed factory as an example, using biomass gasifier + SCR denitrification technology, the concentration of exhaust gas emission is effectively controlled to meet the environmental requirements. Biomass boiler investment of 5 million yuan, but due to the relative stability of biomass resource prices, low fuel costs, and operation and maintenance costs are also relatively low, so the return on investment cycle is shorter, the economic benefits are significant.
IV. Conclusion
The application of biomass boilers in feed mills can not only meet the energy needs of feed mills, but also realize multiple benefits such as environmental purification and cost reduction, helping feed mills to move towards the direction of green and efficient development. With the continuous progress and popularization of biomass energy technology, I believe that biomass boilers will play an increasingly important role in the aquaculture industry, contributing to the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.
