Biomass plants, apart from producing energy, help to reduce CO2(g) emissions. One of the biggest problems for their development
is superheater corrosion due to fuel corrosivity, especially of the straw. This limits both the temperature of the vapour and also the
effectiveness of the plant. In order to know more about the reactions which happen inside the boiler of biomass, thermodynamic
calculations using software (HSC Chemistry) have been carried out. Field tests have been carried out in the Sang¨uesa Biomass Plant
in Navarra (Spain): determination of the types of oxides and the deposits formed on the superheaters tubes as well as a program to
measure temperatures. Finally, the global results are discussed.
