Biomass is an organic substance that can be transformed into energy. It encompasses wood, plant tissues, and even animal manure that has been used for motor fuels and heating all along.
Benefits of Biomass Wood Pellets
One advantage of biomass pellets is their energy density. While untreated wood and its byproducts, such as sawdust and wood chips, are energy deficient, processing and compressing these byproducts from the forest products industry into pellets will enhance their energy outputs. In addition, wood pellets are characterized by low moisture content, which improves the efficiency of combustion and is very important for electricity generation.
How Are Biomass Wood Pellets Made?
Biomass pellets are made at the pelletization plants from wood that are not suitable for other industries. It includes the following operations:
- Wood Chipping: Reducing large pieces of wood into smaller chips.
- Quality Control: Screening and ensuring that the wood chips are of good quality.
- Moisture Removal: Moisture content is reduced to less than 12% by heating the chips.
- Grinding: The dried wood is then processed into powder.
- Pelleting: The powder is passed through a grate, which is applied high pressure to produce compacted pellets of biomass.
How Are Pellets Used in Power Generation?
Compressed wood pellets seem to offer a fundamental shift in the ways power is generated. They seem to have a great deal of potential for power generation in multiple domains, such as:
- Thermal power plants
- The food industry
- Chemical industry
- Gasification plants
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Production of paints
- Hot air plants
- Burners
