Abstract
A study of commercially available pretreatment and feeding equipment for straw fuel was performed. It was found that biomass dividing devices comprise a great fire risk. Fast revolving cutters consume 100-500 kJ pr. kg biomass, and are sensitive to moisture. The energy consumption of slow revolving cutters is between 20 and 60 kJ pr kg of biomass suited for screw transport. Balebreakers use less energy, but are sensitive to moisture, and foreign bodies, especially rotating ones (energy consumption = 10-30 kJ per kg biomass). Reciprocating balebreakers have a tendency to pull out slices of the bale and so stopping flow. Screw conveyers are cheaper and can be made airtight and robust. Energy consumption is higher. For densification of biomass, pill and briquette presses can be used, but it can be expensive and energy requirements are very high. The crankshaft rampress is very sensitive to varying conditions in the biomass. Screwfeeders are designed to feed into combustion chambers with a pressure very close to atmospheric pressure. Pistonfeeders for small boilers are made to feed only small bales. (AB) (28 refs.)
