Biomass Pellets and Briquettes

 Biomass Pellets and Briquettes

Wood pellets and briquettes are made by compressing dry sawdust or wood shreds under high pressure until the lignin softens and binds the material together. The combination of low moisture content (typically below 10%) and highly compressed material gives pellets a high volume energy density, typically three to four
times that of wood chips.

They are also clean, consistent and flow easily, making them particularly attractive in domestic applications.
The significantly lower storage requirements compared with wood chips also make them attractive to urban applications such as schools. 

Pellets for domestic and small scale applications are typically 6-8 mm diameter, while those for industrial applications may be 10-12 mm. Above 25 mm diameter they are known as briquettes and can resemble a fire-log in appearance and function, though with improved storage, handling, and combustion properties.

Poor quality pellets can crumble to sawdust, or pro duce more ash, so it is important that pellets have been
manufactured to a recognized standard. 

Pellets can be made from many different types of biomass, including straw, as well as wood. However, most of these non-wood pellets are not suitable for use in many pellet boilers or stoves, and certainly not most domestic systems. 

This is as a result of the ash properties which can give rise to clinker formation and sometimes corrosion of boiler parts.
