Description
    There is standard for this kind of fuel
in Germany: DIN ****1 “Requirements to the materials produced as
a result of natural
woodpressingâ€. According to
these standard requirements
granules are to be **8
mm across transverse diameter and approximately *0mm at length. The
use of the accessory materials such as glue and plastic is not
allowed in the production and pressing processes. Resin content
according to the standard amounts to less then 1,5%. Ashes,
generated in the combustion process, can be used as a fertilizer or
can be liquidated as debris.
Granules filling
compactness makes up to **0 kg/ m³. It’s rather high index for
woodenmaterials and as a result of high energy
compactness they need much less space for storing then
woodenlogs o
woodchips. In the
process of burning the rate of escaping harmful substances is at
record low index, moreover energy consumption required for the
production of
wooden granulesamounts to
approximately 3% of energy content and that is much lower then the
percent of energy consumption required for the production of
natural gas or fuel oil.
Wooden granulescan be
used for heating in combination with other renewable sources of
energy as well as without them.
