The Hamilton County Biomass Incinerator will be fueled by 100 TONS PER HOUR of clean woody biomass – that’s five 20 ton trucks with a 20 ton payload every hour…….
- 310 Truck Trips per day (total) – trucks with an average weight of 30 tons hauling wood, ash, ammonia and dry sorbent.
- Wood will be delivered by truck 125 trips per day (Fully loaded trucks with a weight of 40 tons)
- There is not enough wood debris available to fuel these Biomass Incinerators – they will be burning whole trees and our county will be deforested rapidly.
Your air will contain the following:
247.5 tons per year (TPY) of carbon monoxide (CO); 236 TPY of nitrogen oxides (NOX); 140 TPY of particulate matter (PM); 110 TPY of PM with a mean diameter of 10 micrometers (μm) or less (PM10); 26 TPY of sulfuric acid mist (SAM); 150 TPY of sulfur dioxide (SO2); 60 TPY of volatile organic compounds (VOC); 0.175 TPY of lead (Pb) and 9.7 TPY of hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Information obtained from public records and permit applications for the Hamilton County Biomass Incinerator Project – the first of ADAGE’s announced Biomass Incinerators projects. It has been reported that ADAGE has plans to build 100 of these Biomass Incinerators across Florida, South Georgia and Texas.
