Coffee ground has been recently considered as a new biomass resource in relation to the increasing coffee consumption worldwide. The bio-crude oil can be produced by fast pyrolysis of coffee ground, and it has advantages of larger heating values in comparison with those from other biomass. But the bio-crude oil from coffee ground has a significantly high viscosity which can hinder the application to conventional burners. In this study, a pilot-scale burner system with a 35 kW capacity with an air-blast atomizing nozzle was developed for the combustion of bio-crude oil from coffee ground with a high viscosity. A downward fuel injection system was adopted to enhance the ignition of fuel spray and the flame stabilization, and a movable block swirl generator was installed for the combustion air. The bio-crude oil was blended with ethanol at the volumetric ratio of 9:1 to enhance the combustion characteristics. The effect of various atomizing air pressures, swirl intensities, and overall equivalence ratios on the flame stability and gaseous emission were investigated to find out the optimum operating conditions for a bio-crude oil burner.
