Recovery boiler One of the largest brands of biomass fired boilers is the kraft recovery boiler 1. Kraft recovery boilers are used to burn organic residue from chemical pulp manufacture. In the world, about 131 million tons of chemical pulp were produced in 2011 2. This corresponds to about 190 million tons of black
