The choice of biomass pellet storage can have a substantial impact on the wood pellets price. For case biomass pellets in bags, are more expensive than bulk deliveries in either large bags or blown loose into a silo. The obvious reason for this is there is no cost associated by bagging the pellets. Though there is the initial cost of installing a silo. In the long term however the constant savings on energy costs will payback the investment on the silo. Biomass pellet manufactures are seeing more people opt for the pellet silo’s, plus are thus varying their delivery methods more to pellet tankers, instead of pallet deliveries. For manufactures moving onto a more loose pellet delivery approach has payback plus reward. The benefit is the reduced investment in pellet bagging machines as well as the associated costs. However they have one more fee in the pellet tankers required. There will be a further market evolution, with pellet deliveries handled with separate companies. Making the process more efficient for the pellet manufactures, plus also cheaper for the end users.

Biomass pellet production is a rapidly growing market. More people are interested in making pellets, along with hence how pellets are constructed. At PelHeat we make small wood pellet mills. We have developed the Biomass Pellet Manufacture Guide, to start the learning curve on how pellets are manufactured. Wood pellet home heating energy has existed since the 1970′s. However it is only recently due to concerns over global warming plus climate change that wood pellet fuel has been looked at as a serious replacement for oil plus gas systems. Pellets are simply compressed forms of the original raw material, for example wood sawdust. Under high pressure along with heat in a pellet mill the raw material is shaped into a pellet. A pellet resembles a colouring crayon. To make quality biomass pellet, a range of aspects of the raw material and equipment call for to be controlled. The Biomass Pellet Manufacture Guide provides details on the required adjustments in these areas.

There are multiple reasons plus benefits from compressing materials into pellet. By way of regards to fuel pellets the main benefit is increased combustion efficiency, simple fuel loading, storage along with lower maintenance through more complete incineration. As demand increases more plus more people are looking into producing biomass pellet for sale. The most common form of biomass pellet formed for sales are premium biomass pellets. Premium biomass pellets contain very little ash in addition to require very little maintenance. To be described as a ‘premium’ wood pellet certain standards have to be meet by way of regards to ash content along with moisture content.
