Biomass Pellets (Wood Pellets):
Biomass pellets, commonly known as wood pellets, are a renewable, high-energy fuel made from compressed organic materials such as sawdust, wood shavings, or other lignocellulosic biomass. These cylindrical pellets, typically ranging from 6–10 mm in diameter, are produced through a process of drying, grinding, and pelletizing, ensuring a consistent, eco-friendly energy source. With a calorific value exceeding 16 MJ/kg, low ash content (≤ 2%), and minimal sulfur and chlorine levels (≤ 0.07% each), wood pellets are an ideal choice for industrial applications, including co-firing with fossil fuels or standalone process heating in the oil industry.
Designed for efficiency and sustainability, our biomass pellets offer a clean-burning alternative to traditional fuels, reducing carbon emissions and equipment wear. Available in standard packaging options—bulk, big bags (500–1000 kg), or sacks (15–25 kg)—they are perfect for export markets like Qingdao, China, meeting stringent quality standards such as ENplus A2 or ISO 17225-2. Whether you’re enhancing operational efficiency or meeting environmental goals, wood pellets provide a reliable, high-performance solution for modern energy needs.
Industry-Specific Context:
- Usage: In the oil industry, biomass pellets are increasingly used to reduce carbon footprints by blending with coal or oil in boilers, or as a standalone fuel for steam generation. Pellets meeting these specs align with global trends (e.g., IEA reports show a 10% rise in biomass co-firing since 2020).
- Quality Benchmarks: Specifications align with ENplus A2 or ISO 17225-2 industrial standards, ensuring compatibility with oil industry equipment (e.g., fluidized bed combustors). Low ash and sulfur/chlorine levels are critical to avoid slagging and fouling.
- Export Considerations: Qingdao, a key port in China’s Shandong Province, handles significant biomass imports (e.g., ~1.2 million tonnes annually per trade data). Suppliers with experience in Asian markets can leverage this demand, but must meet China’s import regulations (e.g., GB/T 28731-2012 for solid biofuels).
Technical Specification for Biomass Pellets (Wood Pellets)
- tem: Biomass Pellets (Wood Pellets)
- Diameter: 6–10 mm
- Ash Content: ≤ 2% (to minimize residue and maintenance in oil industry burners)
- Sulfur Content: ≤ 0.07% (to reduce SOx emissions and comply with environmental standards)
- Chlorine Content: ≤ 0.07% (to prevent corrosion and dioxin formation in combustion systems)
- Calorific Value: > 16 MJ/kg (to ensure energy efficiency comparable to mid-range fossil fuels)
- Moisture Content: ≤ 10% (to optimize combustion and reduce emissions)
- Application: Oil industry – primarily for co-firing with fossil fuels or standalone process heating
Quality Standards
- Durability: ≥ 97.5% (mechanical durability to prevent crumbling during handling)
- Fines Content: ≤ 1% (particles < 3.15 mm, to reduce dust and improve handling)
- Additives: None or ≤ 2% (if used, must be organic and approved for oil industry use)
Environmental and Safety Considerations
- Heavy Metals: Trace levels only (e.g., Pb, Cd, Hg below regulatory thresholds)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Minimal, ensuring safe combustion
- Storage: Dry, ventilated conditions to prevent degradation or self-heating
Packaging and Delivery
- Standard Packaging Options:
- Bulk (loose in containers, ~20–25 tonnes per 20-ft container).
- Big bags (jumbo bags, 500–1000 kg each, palletized or loose).
- Sacks (15–25 kg, typically 40–50 bags per tonne, palletized).
- Transport: Sealed to prevent moisture ingress; compatible with oil industry logistics
Compliance
- Standards: Conforms to ENplus A1/A2, ISO 17225-2, or equivalent industrial pellet standards (adjustable per region or client specification)
- Certifications: Optional sustainability certification (e.g., FSC, SBP) if required
