The most common way to utilize hog fuel is to combust it in large, conventional boilers with heat recovery(as steam) from water-walled boilers. The three principal manufacturers of hog fuel boilers are Foster-Wheeler, Babcox-Wilcox, and Combustion Engineering. Fluidized bed incinerators, such as those available from Copeland Processes Ltd., are also being used to a smaller extent. 3, record 4, English, - fluidized%20bed%20incinerator
