By purchasing wholesale solid biofuel , you can significantly reduce the cost of heating the premises in the winter season. Or reduce the cost of production processes.
Among alternative energy sources, pellets and granules made from woodworking or food industry waste stand out. The raw material is notable for its low price, but, if properly prepared, provides high calorific value.
What is used to produce solid biofuels
- Wood chips, sawdust, shavings.
- Straw.
- Sunflower husk.
- Hulls of cereals, rice.
- Miscellaneous combustible waste.
Features of biofuel manufacturing
The selected raw materials are first prepared - brought to the desired moisture content. Most often, the moisture level in the raw materials is too high, and therefore it must be dried. Next steps:
- shredding (if necessary);
- high temperature pressing without adding synthetic binders;
- pelletizing;
- cooling.
Calorific values
The final calorific value is largely dependent on the original quality of the raw materials used. If it is wood, then when burning, pellets can release up to 4300 kilocalories of heat per hour. That is, as much as traditional coal.
One ton of solid biofuel pellets releases the same amount of energy as:
- 0.7 tons of fuel oil;
- 500 cubic meters of gas;
- 0.5 tons of diesel fuel.
Although the figures given may fluctuate depending on the quality of the pellets or pellets produced.
10 reasons why you should use solid biofuel
There are at least 10 reasons why you should buy solid biofuels in bulk.
- Highest efficiency from 90% to 94%.
- The use of only ecological components, due to which the products do not emit toxic substances and compounds during combustion.
- Calorific values are superior to many types of coal.
- The product is quite dense, durable - it does not crumble, does not emit small particles and dust.
- Solid biofuels have no unpleasant odor.
- Simple storage conditions - just protect against direct moisture.
- Pellets do not absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, and therefore even go down�
