Study of changes in emissions into the atmosphere with the reconstruction of heat supply systems

Abstract

Abstract In today’s world, environmental issues are becoming increasingly important and relevant. The housing and communal services system is often one of the main sources of anthropogenic impact. So, when receiving thermal energy by burning of organic or mineral fuel, various types of pollutants enter the atmospheric air. In this paper, a comparison of gross emissions into the air during operation of a heat source using fuel oil and wood fuel (pellets) is made. An analysis of the results was carried out. It showed that the most “environmentally friendly” are heat sources, the main equipment of which includes boiler units burning wood fuel (pellets). With the operation of this type of boiler, the level of anthropogenic load in the form of pollutants emissions is significantly reduced, in particular, there is a multiple decrease in emissions of pollutants of hazard class III.
