This 39,000 LBS/HR Rentech Fluidized Bed Boiler is a biomass-capable industrial steam boiler rated for 300 PSI MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure). Manufactured in 2001, this unit was specifically designed to burn wood waste and paper mill sludge, making it suitable for renewable fuel and waste-to-energy applications.
Unlike conventional fuel-fired boilers, this fluidized bed system enables efficient combustion of variable solid fuels while maintaining stable steam output. The package includes complete boiler instrumentation, valves, controls, combustion system components, sludge and wood handling conveyors, hoppers, silos, bins, air locks, blowers, stack, structural supports inside the building, and associated piping.
For facilities searching for a used Rentech fluidized bed boiler for sale, second-hand biomass steam boiler, or 300 PSI waste-fueled boiler system, this unit provides an integrated and cost-effective alternative to new installations.

What Is a Fluidized Bed Boiler?
A fluidized bed boiler is a combustion system where solid fuel particles are suspended in a stream of air, creating a fluid-like combustion zone. This technology allows for:
- Efficient burning of low-grade or waste fuels
- Improved fuel flexibility
- Lower combustion temperatures
- Enhanced emissions control
- Reduced ash formation compared to conventional grate systems
Fluidized bed boilers are widely used in pulp and paper mills, biomass energy plants, waste-to-energy facilities, and industrial process steam systems where wood waste or sludge is available as fuel.
Why Biomass & Waste-Fired Boilers Matter
Boilers designed to burn wood waste and paper mill sludge provide:
- Reduced fuel costs
- Energy recovery from production byproducts
- Lower landfill disposal requirements
- Sustainable steam generation
- Potential compliance with renewable energy initiatives
Facilities seeking energy efficiency and waste reduction strategies often integrate fluidized bed systems into their steam infrastructure.
