Wood Pellets
Wood chips are small pieces of wood that are produced through the process of harvesting, debarking, chipping, screening & cleaning, drying and storage.
Each step in the wood chip production process requires careful consideration of factors such as wood species, chip size, moisture content, and end-use requirements to ensure the quality and suitability of the final product. Additionally, environmental regulations and sustainability practices play a significant role in modern wood chip production operations
They are often used as a feedstock for biomass energy production and it can be burned directly in furnaces or boilers to generate heat and electricity. This is particularly common in biomass power plants.
Wood chips can be converted into wood pellets which involves several steps to ensure that the final product is compact, efficient, and suitable for use in boilers.
Wood chips and wood pellets can be sourced sustainably from managed forests, making them a renewable and environmentally friendly material. Proper forest management practices ensure that wood chips and wood pellets production do not contribute to deforestation or habitat destruction.
