subject: New Energy-wood Pellets [print this page] Wood pellets, as desire to move towards renewable fuels, growing wood products (ie, sawdust, wood chips, wood shavings and off-cuts) to convert the interest of the fuel pellets.
Fuel pellets is really a handy, high-density fuel, you can use the built-in stove and boiler. England made the supply of pellets has been slow to develop, and concentrate have a tendency to be medium to large manufacturing plant. The objective of this info page, we'll concentrate on small-scale production systems.
The pellet burning stove is affordable to install and low operating costs. At present, wood pellets are only accessible from big producers. The scene, a little timber granulation reduce transportation expenses.
AKG has been carrying out a small scale pellet mill that will convert wood co-products into fuel pellets. The process includes access to raw supplies, crushing and granulation of the raw material in the granulation from the pellet mill, bagging and fed towards the burner.
Raw supplies - it's important to generate particles from a variety of materials. The plant's operational flexibility means that it can adapt to different species and moisture content material.
Therefore, it is especially suitable for many SMEs use of wood: the pellets happen to be no bark from hardwood (oak, beech) and softwood (spruce, pine). The resulting particles will have exactly the same density, calorific worth and ash content (Iloilo features a high ash content material).
Moisture content material: This is essential, it is relatively dry, but moisture content material may be changed between 10-20% from the weight.
Table: the beginning material may be sawdust, wood chips, wood shavings and cut wood obtained.
Great pellets, by choosing and regulation of those various elements. Hardwood often need oil to lubrication the flow, very dry material may need water or steam to assist the binding. Supplies with high moisture content, might also require the oil. When consistent with material being processed and / or adding some level of automation, so we assume that the mill will automatically run. It's objective of pellets would be much less than 10% moisture and a density of higher than 0.6. Throughput will depend on the materials, hardwood or softwood, compact or light. Cork (big mode) to maximum 180kg/hr Even though seems to be realistic to 100kg/hr. Some hardwood might only accomplish half this.
