What are biomass pellets used for
Mar 20, 2020
Biomass pellets are a solid renewable fuel that can be compressed and formed from various raw materials such as pine, fir, birch, aspen, and crop waste. Such pellets can be widely used in industrial boiler fuel, thermal power plant fuel, barbecue fuel, home heating system fuel, etc. The combustion efficiency of biomass particles is over 80%. High combustion efficiency and low carbon emissions make pellets fuel a commonly used fuel in the world. Not only does the pellets have low carbon emissions, but during the combustion process, it hardly produces sulfur dioxide, ammonia nitrogen compounds, and dust.The density of raw materials is generally 0.1-0.13t / m3, and the density of the formed particles is 1.1-1.3t / m3, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and greatly improves the combustion performance of biomass.


1.Feed for livestock in large-scale farms, easy to store and transport.

2.You can use pellets as a fuel for the grill, it is easier to burn than charcoal. In addition, you can also use pellets as the heating fuel for your home. Many different types of pellet stoves have been brought to the market. Wood pellets are a clean fuel with high combustion efficiency and convenient storage. Now, more and more families start to use granules.


3.Wood pellets can also be used as fuel for industrial boilers. Before pellets entered the market, most industrial boilers used coal or heavy oil as fuel. A few industrial boilers use natural gas, but the cost of natural gas is much higher than coal and heavy oil, so it cannot be widely accepted by industrial boiler owners. As we all know, coal and heavy oil have pollution problems. But the carbon emissions of the particles are very small, which can reduce environmental pollution.

4.Wood pellets can be used as fuel in thermal power plants. Thermal power plants usually burn coal to generate electricity. Thermal power plants are the main method of power generation in modern society. Although a few thermal power plants use natural gas, coal is also the main fuel for thermal power plants, and the pollution of coal is a serious concern for governments around the world. 10,000 tons of particles can replace 8,000 tons of coal, directly reducing 160 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions, 80 tons of dust emissions, and 14,400 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
