EFB pellet is one kind of biomass pellets ,but what is it raw materails and

How does them be made? Let us read the following.

What is EFB fiber?

EFB is the abbreviation for Empty Fruit Bunch from oil palm fruit. An oil palm fruit will be processed for crude palm oil and the remaining bunch is discarded as empty fruit bunch. The empty fruit bunch is at wet form and goes through subsequent process for biomass application.

From the nature of empty fruit bunch, the EFB will go through several more processes to distill the long EFB fibre and the remaining short EFB fibre will be putting aside for biomass purpose.

Short EFB fibre is always comes in loose fibre stage, even though short EFB fibre is a good source of renewable energy however the loose stage has make it less usable in practical stage.

Processing EFB fiber to EFB Pellet

Biomass engineer has developed a chopper or crusher machine for chopping down the fibre into smaller in length. The shorter EFB fibre can directly put into the pellet mill and goes through the pelletizing process. EFB pellet is the finished product. EFB pellet also use the raw material for biomass boiler.

In most cases, in order to have a better quality of pellet, short EFB fiber will go through a crushing process to shorten the fibre length, this will improve the EFB pellet quality.

Sawdust used to make biomass pellets

There are many raw materials of biomass pellet mill, such as wood residues and agro-residuses,
Wood residues can be used as energy or feed material for other energy products such as wood pellet, charcoal. And sawdust is mostly used as feedstock for pellet production because of its small size (it doesn’t require additional preprocessing like crushing before feed into wood pellet mill).
The heating value of wood biomass has relatively little variation, it depends on the composition of the wood. Energy content is proportional to the dry-weight of wood; so higher density woods have higher calorific values. In general, softwoods have higher heating values than hardwoods. Moisture content also affects the potential heating value, the drier the fuel, the higher the heating value. The table below is the heating values for several types of woody residues. We can see that the moisture content of sawdust is relatively low, so that its heat value is 18.5-19.0MJ/Kg which ranks in the second place among these kinds of woody biomass.
With many sawdust and and one biomass pellet mill, you can produce the
sawdust pellets.
