Fuel Pellets

FP (Fuel Pellet) is a solid biofuel, an energy source produced by means of mechanical change of biomass. Dry forestry and agricultural byproducts, as well as peat are used as raw material for FP production.

WFP (wood fuel pellet) is a normalized pressed barrel-type product of dry forestry byproducts, such as sawdust, chips,  “flour” received as a result of work of a sawing machine, shavings, ground dust, etc. Wood pellets are produces under high pressure without chemical fixing agents. The product has a lot of names: “wood pellets”, “Holz-Pellets” or “Holzpellets”, “biopellets”, “fuel pellets”, “biomass”, “sawdust pellets”. The most widespread are “wood pellets” or simply “pellets”

Fuel pellets is an energy-wise stable, waste-free (ash content no more than 1%) and ecological fuel.

Pellets are not liable to self-ignition as they do not contain dust or spores, which by the way can cause allergic reactions.

Pellets are drier than regular wood (8-12% moisture in comparison with 30-50% in firewood) and that provides a higher caloric power in comparison to wood chips or firewood – combustion of 1 ton of pellets produces 5 thousand kWt/h of heat, that is 1,5 time more than by regular firewood combustion.

One of important characteristics of pellets is high and constant apparent density, which makes pellets easy for long-distance transportations. Due to regular form, small size and even consistency pellets can be poured through special spout, which allows automation of loading/unloading processes and combustion of this kind of fuel.
