Welcome to Moisture Matters, the show where we take your everyday and not so everyday objects and test them to see which has more moisture. Today we’re doing something a bit different. We’ll be testing the moisture content AND the ash content of wood pellets and lump charcoal. So, which do you think will have more moisture and which do you think will have a higher ash content? The ...
Lundberg Provides Geoenergy" E-Tube" WET ESP Systems For Environmental Compliance At Multiple Pellet Mills A leading North American producer of industrial wood pellets was in need of a cost-effective and reliable solution to reduce their particulate matter and visible emissions from wood dryer systems at their new state-of-the-art pellet mills. Lundberg relocated Geoenergy* E-Tube Wet ESPs ...
Helmsley Open Air Pool is operated by a registered charity – the Feversham Memorial Trust – and opens from June to September each summer. The 1930s pool is 25m in length and 10m wide. The existing heating system comprised an oil boiler working in tandem with an electric heat exchanger. During the 2007 season the oil boiler broke down and was in need of replacement. To keep the pool ...

If you are a beginner, the following guides will provide you lots of useful information of the potential issues when making pellets and purchasing equipment. Wood pellets are a type of wood fuel, generally made compacted sawdust or other wastes from sawmilling and other wood products manufacture. ...
Christian Rakos described the European pellet market as being in its infancy, with a limited number of countries participating in three types of business: power, heat, and mixed goods. The market is characterized by dynamic growth, for example, in Italy, France, and Germany. In 2006, Europe experienced a “supply crunch”; prices increased by over 60%, and pellet producers were accused of taking ...
BBRG’s vision is to create a comprehensive design package for pelleting technology, said Shahab Sokhansanj. “It will contain engineering data and procedures for procuring biomass, [and for] producing and delivering pellets as a choice feedstock to the emerging bioindustry.” He said he would debate the statement made earlier that morning that biomass is not a mature technology: “We need to improve ...
Steve Walker started his company in 1992. New England Wood Pellet has grown from a single, “little tiny mill” to a 100,000-tonne plant; a research, development, and fabrication facility called Biofuel Energy Systems; and Palmer Reload and Packaging Center, which packages product brought by rail from B.C. Walker’s next initiative is to bring boilers into the US industrial northeast commercial ...
Richard Smith said he would share his experiences over the last two-and-a-half years. “What we’ve done isn’t necessarily right for here,” he said, “but it worked for us.” Balcas has a number of facilities all over Europe, including a sawmill in Estonia that also produces wood for construction. A pellet plant is currently under construction in Scotland. Balcas has branded its wood pellets brites. ...
Canada is primarily a bulk producer and exporter of pellets with large mills that make, on average, 56,000 tonnes per year, said Staffan Melin. When shipped in large volumes, pellets are classified as hazardous material, although wood pellets in consumer bags are benign. For example, carbon monoxide (CO) gas emissions released by pellets killed a person in the cargo hold of a ship in 2002. A ...
In this paper a novel pelletising process is described utilising one-axial compression. Compression tests of saw dust samples were conducted at different applied forces, moisture contents, process temperatures and hold up times using a compression cell powered by an Instron testing machine. Additionally the effect of heating in saturated and unsaturated atmosphere was studied. The densities of ...
Promising small-scale wood pellet heating systems with sizable market potentials have started to penetrate the residential heating market in Europe and elsewhere. Despite significant technological progress, cost reduction, improved convenience and reliability, and reduced environmental impact, diffusion of such systems will nonetheless take time. Framework and market conditions, and especially ...
