Description
Pellet fuels (or pellets) are fuels made from compressed organic
matter, or, biomass. Pellets can be made from any one of five
general categories of biomass: industrial waste and co-products,
food waste, agricultural residues, energy crops and virgin lumber.
Pellets are categorized by their heating value, moisture and ash
content, and dimensions. They can be used as fuels for power
generation, commercial or residential heating, and cooking. Pellets
are extremely dense and can be produced with a low moisture content
(below *0%) that allows them to be burned with a very high
combustion efficiency.
Further, their regular geometry and small size allow automatic
feeding with very fine calibration. They can be fed to a burner by
auger feeding or by pneumatic conveying. Their high density also
permits compact storage and rational transport over long distance.
They can be conveniently blown from a tanker to a storage bunker or
silo on a customer\'s premises.
