KMW Grate Furnace
It is the commonly used type in the pulp and paper industry for hog fuel and other wet biomass fuels. It has a thick refractory lining to provide thermal inertia and maintain combustion. Air is injected through the grate, and at two levels above the grate to complete combustion. Ash is withdrawn from below the grate with an auger system.
