Moisture and Density measurement in Biomass (straw and sawdust) helps manage resources efficiently, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable production practices. Optimizing high-quality straw, sawdust pellets maintain their integrity, boost combustion efficiency, and control production.
Biomass production reached around 25 million tons in Europe in 2023*.Bioenergy has become Europe's primary renewable energy source, accounting for 55.7% of all renewable energy in 2021. For many companies and governments, shifting to renewable energy sources and reducing global emissions is a key goal, as emphasized in agreements like the Paris Agreement signed in 2015.
High moisture levels in biomass promote mold growth, decay, and lower heating value. Moisture exceeding 16% in bales reduces burning efficiency as energy is expended on drying. This leads to lower burning temperatures and incomplete combustion of pyrolysis gases, resulting in emissions of hydrocarbons and CO. Conversely, low moisture levels can lead to poor pellet integrity, making them less durable and causing them to burn too quickly in combustion systems, leading to inefficient energy release. Balance is crucial for achieving sustainable and effective Biomass utilization.
