Biomass storage is a critical part of the feedstock supply chain. An effective storage solution ensures a steady supply of biomass pellets for processing plants while also addressing the unique challenges of storing this combustible fuel source. Below, we’ll cover what to look for in biomass quality and how Edge Inc. provides safe, reliable storage solutions.
What to Look for in Quality Biomass Pellets
The quality of your biomass pellets is determined by four key characteristics. A good storage solution will help you maintain these qualities.
- Moisture Content: Low moisture content is preferred for efficient burning, but overly dry fuel can create dust, which is a fire and explosion risk. A proper storage facility helps regulate moisture to keep your biomass at the ideal level.
- Heat Value: The heat value indicates the total energy in the fuel. A storage solution that regulates temperature helps prevent heat loss, ensuring the fuel maintains its high energy potential.
- Contamination: Biomass raw materials often contain dirt and grit. Proper storage keeps unwanted contaminants out, which is crucial for clean combustion and protecting your equipment.
- Fuel Density: The density of your pellets affects how they burn and what handling equipment you can use. A durable storage facility helps maintain a consistent bulk density.
