Step grate combustion 850 to 10,000 kW
The step grate combution is particularly suitable for the combustion of wood fuels with a high water content of up to 60 % and an ash content of up to 10 %. These conditions allow the flexible use of inexpensive, not pre-dried fuels such as green cut, bark, wood from landscape cultivation and waste wood. The wood combustion system SRT with step grate is designed for continuous operation of up to 8,000 hours per year.
Designed for continuous operation
Fuels:
Wood from landscape cultivation
bark
green cut
waste wood
short rotation wood
special fuels
The SRT is particularly suitable for the combustion of wood fuels with a high water and ash content. These requirements enable flexible use of affordable, not pre-dried fuels.
Flue gas recirculation »over« and »below« grate
The flue gas is sucked in the exhaust pipe and fed via a fan of the combustion chamber »over« or »below« the grate again. This causes a reduction of the flame temperature and a reduction of nitrogen oxides. The efficiency of the system is increased because a lower residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas can be used even with dry fuels. In flue gas recirculation »below« grate, the recirculated exhaust gas is mixed in mixing chambers with primary air and fed back under the grate. The flue gas recirculation »below« grate also improves burnout and prevents slagging on the grate.
Lowest life cycle costs
We attach great importance to durability and a long service life of the system. That‘s why we rely on a robust system technology. Solid steel construction and the use of high-quality lining material guarantee reliable plant availability over many years. Lowest power consumption in all load conditions of the plant is guaranteed by frequency-controlled screws, grate drives and exhaust gas recirculation.

Equipment and accessories
Measurements of primary and recirculated air
In order to ensure optimal combustion results and emission values in all load levels, even with difficult fuels, the volume flows of the primary air and flue gas recirculation are measured and the required air quantities are calculated in advance. The grate of the SRT is divided into four independent primary air zones. As a result, the required air volumes can be adapted to the fuel.
Use of high quality O2 -probes
The secondary air volume flow is regulated to the actual oxygen value. Through the use of high quality O2 probes a constant low residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas is possible (about 4–5 % O2 (moist) – depending on the fuel). As a result, highest efficiencies are achieved even in modulating part-load operation.
Automatic ash removal
Depending on fuel and ash content, various variants are available for the ash removal of the combustion chamber as well as cyclone and the electrostatic precipitator. The ash can be discharged together or separately. The removal is carried out in containers up to 800 l or in skips of 5.5 to 12 m2. In addition, the ash removal is also possible in big bags.
The following variants are available:
- With chain conveyors
- With screws
- Laterally from the combustion chamber
- Directly below the combustion chamber
Take advantage of these benefits:
- Fully automatic biomass combustion system with step grate 850 to 10,000 kW
- Water content in fuel: 6 to 60 %, ash content (foreign parts) up to 10 %
- Step grate combustion technology with up to four independent primary air and hydraulically driven grate zones
- Low power consumption is achieved in all of the system‘s load ranges through the use of frequency-controlled screw conveyors, grate drives and fans such as flue gas, secondary air and recirculation fans
- Low flow velocities over the fuel bed prevent turbulence and ensure low-emission combustion in all load conditions
- The optimized and generously dimensioned firebox geometry guarantees reduced stress on components and the refractory lining. As a result, the combustion system is recommended for continuous operation of up to 8,000 hours
Optional accessories:
- Pneumatic boiler cleaning system (considerably increases the time between cleaning intervals)
- Automatic ignition system (automatic ignition for fuels up to a water content of 35 %)
- Remote maintenance and visualization systems (full system access from PC, tablet or mobile phone)
- Exhaust gas temperature increase (to avoid condensation in exhaust gas pipes and downstream components)
- Denitrification system (to reduce NOX emissions using the SNCR method)
- Continuous emission measurement
- LUVO (preheating of primary air for wet fuels)
- Furnace camera for monitoring the firebox as an optimal supplement to a visualization system
