Performance test procedure for boilers using biomass as fuel
This procedure provides the methodology to apply ASME PTC 4 - 1998 "Performance Test Code for Fired Steam Generators," to carry out the heat and material balances and calculate the efficiency for a boiler utilizing biomass as fuel. The procedure defines the adjustments to ASME PTC 4 recommended to be followed for data acquisition, fuel sampling and analysis, and necessary calculations to test and determine the performance of a biomass fueled boiler. This procedure is not intended to apply for testing of fluid bed boilers. Any time the ASME Performance Test Code is revised, this Procedure shall be revised or adjusted as necessary to conform to a relevant provision of the revised ASME PTC 4.
