Abstract
The present study works with a cogeneration plant integrated into an oil palm mill, which handles 230 t/h of fresh fruit bunches. The system counts with a boiler, a steam turbine, pumps, and heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are fed with steam extractions from the turbine in order to dry the biomass to be burned. The work also presents the exergetic analysis of the devices working in the cycle, the economic attractiveness of the project and an environmental approach that shows the advantages and limitations of working with a biomass-fueled boiler. The calculus showed a huge electricity surplus to be explored, quick payback, pollution capacity of the combustion of palm biomass, and 62% ecological efficiency in the power generation.
