Emissions from in-use residential wood pellet boilers and potential emissions savings using thermal storage.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Effective biomass energy utilization for residential space heating relies on having combustion systems with both high efficiency and low emissions. European technology in wood pellet boilers was introduced into the United States over the past decade ...

Microwave Pyrolysis of Wood Pellets

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2009
The pyrolysis of wood pellets was investigated using a single-mode microwave cavity, and the dielectric properties of the wood were measured at temperatures up to 750 °C. Below 600 °C, the only microwave-absorbing phase within wood is water. This study has shown categorically that microwave pyrolysis can be achieved without the use of carbon-rich ...

Fundamental Study on Production of "Hyper Wood Pellet " (3) Upgraded Pellet Making by Torrefaction of Japanese Wood Pellets

2011
Upgraded wood pellets (Hyper wood pellets) were produced and evaluated by torrefaction of wood pellets. In this study, conventional wood pellets were initially prepared and subsequently torrefied on a laboratory and then larger scale. During the laboratory scale production, a few kilograms of pellets from wooden parts of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria ...

Wood Pellet Technology Roadmap

IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2012
This paper presents a technology roadmap for the wood pellet industry in the Pacific Northwest U.S. The roadmap was developed for the Oregon Wood Innovation Center (OWIC), College of Forestry, Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvalis, OR. The researchers apply technology roadmapping to a bio-fuel called wood pellet using both qualitative and ...

Kaolin as additive in wood pellet combustion with several mixtures of spruce and short-rotation-coppice willow and its influence on emissions and ashes

Fuel, 2019
In this study ten mixtures of spruce (Picea abies), short-rotation-coppice (SRC) willow (Salix spec.; Clone Tordis) and kaolin were pelletised and burned in a residential biomass boiler (12 kW). Focus is on usability of SRC willow in exchange of forestal
