Abstract: The present study aims to investigate flue gas emissions, particularly pollutants CO, NOx and particle emissions, of a domestic biomass boiler under various operating conditions. The experimental methodologies are systematically introduced. If the primary and secondary air supply for the biomass furnace are provided by the factory-set openings and vent tubes, the flue gas emissions measured are NOx 54.92 ppmv, CO2 11.98 vol%, CO 0.24 vol%, O2 8.19 vol% and PM0.1–10 concentrations 72.7 mg/Nm3 by burning wood pellets. In addition, the three kinds of cleaning technologies reducing particle emissions are also introduced.
