Wshop160927: Heat Plant Forum 2016
held at Chateau on the Park, Christchurch on 27 September 2016. This forum is an annual Bioenergy Association event and is held so that plant owners and operators have a place to come together and learn from each other.
The forum was well attended by heat plant owners, operators and maintainers and was a forum for them to meet each other and to share experiences – good and bad. By hearing what other owners and operators have done to ensure appropriate fuel and optimise plant helped attendees learn of best practices to improve their own plant performance.
The forum was structured around the challenges of fuel, air emissions, converting coal plant to use wood fuel and plant optimisation. This was achieved by talking with relevant experts and discussing their own operating problems through facilitated group discussion.
