Title: Impact of process conditions on the density and durability of wheat, oat, canola, and barley straw briquettes

Abstract

The present study is to understand the impact of process conditions on the quality attributes of wheat oat, barley, and canola straw briquettes. Analysis of variance indicated that briquette moisture content and initial density immediately after compaction and final density after 2 weeks of storage are strong functions of feedstock moisture content and compression pressure, whereas durability rating is influenced by die temperature and feedstock moisture content. Briquettes produced at a low feedstock moisture content of 9 % (w.b.) yielded maximum densities >700 kg/m3 for wheat, oat, canola, and barley straws. Lower feedstock moisture content of <10 % (w.b.) and higher die temperatures >110 °C and compression pressure >10 MPa minimized the briquette moisture content and maximized densities and durability rating based on surface plots observations. Optimal process conditions indicated that a low feedstock moisture content of about 9 % (w.b.), high die temperature of 120–130 °C, medium-to-large hammer mill screen sizes of about 24 to 31.75 mm, and low to high compression pressures of 7.5 to 12.5 MPa minimized briquette moisture content to <8 % (w.b.) and maximized density to >700 kg/m3. Durability rating >90 % is achievable at higher die temperatures of >123 °C, lower to medium feedstockmore »« less

Effect of process variables on the quality attributes of briquettes from wheat, oat, canola and barley

Conference Tumuluru, Jaya Shankar

Effect of process variables on the quality attributes of briquettes from wheat, oat, canola and barley straw Jaya Shankar Tumuluru*, L. G. Tabil, Y. Song, K. L. Iroba and V. Meda Biomass is a renewable energy source and environmentally friendly substitute for fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum products. Major limitation of biomass for successful energy application is its low bulk density, which makes it very difficult and costly to transport and handle. To overcome this limitation, biomass has to be densified. The commonly used technologies for densification of biomass are pelletization and briquetting. Briquetting offers many advantages atmore »« less

Grinding energy and physical properties of chopped and hammer-milled barley, wheat, oat, and canola straws

Journal Article Tumuluru, J. S. ; Tabil, L. G. ; Song, Y. ; ... - Biomass and Bioenergy

In the present study, specific energy for grinding and physical properties of wheat, canola, oat and barley straw grinds were investigated. The initial moisture content of the straw was about 0.13–0.15 (fraction total mass basis). Particle size reduction experiments were conducted in two stages: (1) a chopper without a screen, and (2) a hammer mill using three screen sizes (19.05, 25.4, and 31.75 mm). The lowest grinding energy (1.96 and 2.91 kWh t-1) was recorded for canola straw using a chopper and hammer mill with 19.05-mm screen size, whereas the highest (3.15 and 8.05 kWh t-1) was recorded for barleymore »« less

High‐moisture pelleting of corn stover using pilot‐ and commercial‐scale systems: Impact of moisture content, L / D ratio and hammer mill screen size on pellet quality and energy consumption

Journal Article Tumuluru, Jaya Shankar - Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining

Abstract High‐moisture pelleting of corn stover was tested in pilot‐ and commercial‐scale systems. For the pilot‐scale study, a 6.35 mm screen size hammer mill ground corn stover was reconditioned to moisture between 14 and 29.6% (w.b.), and 5, 7 and 9 L / D ratio pellet die were used. At 29% corn stover moisture content and L / D ratios of 5 and 9, the bulk density and durability of the pellets were ≤450 kg/m ³ and <90% and >540 kg/m ³ and >90%, respectively. Increasing the feedstock moisture and L / D ratio increased the pelleting energy. Increasing the hammer mill screen size to 11.11 mmmore »« less

Briquetting characteristics of woody and herbaceous biomass blends: Impact on physical properties, chemical composition, and calorific value

Journal Article Tumuluru, Jaya Shankar ; Fillerup, Eric - Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining

Abstract Intercropping (or polyculture) is gaining a lot of interest as it increases yields, allows better utilization of resources (water and nutrients), and provides better land management. The objective of this study is to understand the briquetting characteristics of woody and herbaceous biomass blends, which might result from intercropping. Tests were conducted on blends of lodgepole pine, switchgrass, and corn stover biomass using three hammer mill screen sizes (i.e., 4.8, 12.7, and 19.05 mm), three blend moistures (12%, 15%, and 18%, w.b.), and two‐ and three‐blend ratios (i.e., 1:1 and 1:1:1) using a pilot‐scale hydraulic briquette press.

Effect of pellet die diameter on density and durability of pellets made from high moisture woody and herbaceous biomass

Journal Article Tumuluru, Jaya Shankar - Carbon Resources Conversion

Densified products produced from pellet mill are commercially used as a commodity type product for energy applications and is transported nationally and internationally. The quality and specific energy consumption of the pelletized biomass produced depends upon the type of the feedstock, and process variables like moisture content, particle size, die speed, preheating, and steam conditioning. In the present study, pelleting tests were conducted with both woody (i.e., lodgepole pine and pinyon-juniper) and herbaceous (i.e., corn stover, wheat straw, and energy sorghum) biomass. A high level of feedstock moisture content of 33% (w.b.) was selected as a starting point, while themore »« less
