Resources of solid biofuel in the central urals and processing variants

Abstract

Solid biofuel resources available in the Sverdlovsk region were studied. Various types of wood debris considered the main resources and different variants of manufacturing wood biofuel were thoroughly examined. Different ways of processing raw materials to better their combustibility as solid biofuel were compared. Various means to achieve homogeneity of raw materials and efficient preliminary drying were analysed, and a key conclusion drawn as to the best drying technology.
