Experience in the fabrication of the elements of furnaces that function on biofuels in boilers fabricated from refractory concretes, concrete gunite compound, and heat-insulating materials was gained in Ukraine in the period from 1997 to 2010. Husks of sunflower plants and of buckwheat (17 boilers) and wood sawdust (11 boilers) were used as the biofuel. Factors that govern the operating life were established.
