Biomass Pelleting

Expert guidance to establish your profitable biomass pelleting plant from concept to commissioning.

What is Biomass Pelleting?

Biomass pelleting is a process that converts agricultural residues, forestry waste, and other organic materials into small, dense, cylindrical pellets. These pellets serve as a clean-burning, renewable fuel source with high energy density and consistent quality.

The pelleting technology compresses biomass under high pressure and temperature, causing the natural lignin in the biomass to act as a binding agent, resulting in uniform, durable pellets ideal for various heating and power generation applications.

Benefits of Biomass Pelleting

Carbon Neutral

Pellets release only the carbon absorbed during plant growth, making them a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuels when sourced sustainably.

High Energy Efficiency

With calorific values of 4500-5000 kcal/kg, pellets provide more energy per unit volume than raw biomass, improving combustion efficiency.

Automated Systems

Uniform size and density allow for automated feeding systems in boilers and stoves, providing convenience and consistent heat output.

Economic Development

Creates local jobs in collection, processing, and distribution while keeping energy spending within the local economy.

Reduced Transportation Costs

Higher density means more energy per volume, reducing transportation and storage costs compared to raw biomass materials.

Growing Market Demand

Increasing global demand for renewable energy solutions creates stable and expanding markets for quality biomass pellets.

The Pelleting Process

1

Collection & Preparation

Raw materials are collected, cleaned of contaminants, and prepared for processing.

2

Size Reduction

Materials are ground to uniform particle size using hammer mills or similar equipment.

3

Drying

Moisture content is reduced to optimal levels (typically 10-12%) for efficient pelleting.

4

Pelleting

Material is compressed through a die under high pressure and temperature to form pellets.

5

Cooling & Packaging

Hot pellets are cooled to stabilize and then packaged for storage and distribution.

Raw Materials for Pelleting

Sawdust
Wood Chips
Agricultural Residues
Crop Stalks
Forestry Residues
Nut Shells
Bagasse
Energy Crops
Urban Wood Waste
