How To Make Biomass Waste Into Pellets

BY James Wang

Because of the increasing of popularity of pellet fuel, many people want to know how to make biomass waste in to pellets. Well, the process of fuel pellets manufacture involves the placing under high pressure ground biomass and then forcing it through round opening that is referred to as die. When it is exposed to the suitable conditions, the biomass will fuse together to form solid mass. This process is referred to as extrusion. Some of the biomass especially wood has the natural capability of forming fuel pellets of high quality.

However, the process of creating pellets is just one of the many steps in the lengthy and sometimes complex process of making biomass waste in to fuel pellets. The many steps that must be completed before raw biomass waste can be converted in to pellets include feedstock grinding, control of moisture, extrusion, cooling and finally packaging.

Each of these steps should be carried out with special care to ensure that the final product meets the set standards. It is also highly recommended that the appropriate pellet making machine should be acquired. The conversion of large quantities of biomass waste in to pellets takes long period of time. However, you can prepare pellets for domestic uses or on small scale basis if you acquire pelletizer or small scale pellet mill for small scale uses. One of the requirements for pellets is that they should have the accepted low moisture content.
