Wood pellets, also known as sawdust pellets, are bioenergy fuels derived from biomass materials such as wood chips, shavings, sawdust, corn stalks, cobs, waste wood, and seed shells. cashew or from some other waste materials from wood, bamboo and other products. Through modern production line pressed into small and hard wood pellets.

Wood pellets are very popular products today.

With many outstanding advantages, wood pellets are applied in many fields from industry to residential life, some outstanding applications of wood pellets are as follows:
– Used in combustion systems in industries and civil.
– Used in heating equipment systems such as fireplaces, replacing electric and coal heating.
– Used in steaming, drying, sterilizing and sterilization systems in food and beverage factories.
– Used to generate heat in thermal power plants.
– Lining cages, farms raising chickens, horses, cows, goats, ..
– Used in the heating system for four-season heated swimming pools, hot water networks for amusement parks, restaurants, hotels, schools, rehabilitation areas.
– Used for the system of wine cookers, industrial kitchens in restaurants, large hotels, …
In addition, wood pellets are also used in many other fields.

Wood pellets are much cheaper than common fuel sources: According to many studies, the use of wood pellets in the long run will help users save a lot of costs, specifically as follows: :

One ton of Wood Pellets produces energy equivalent to 120 Galons of oil but the cost is 42% cheaper than oil.
One ton of wood pellets produces the same energy as 170 gallons of Proban but costs only 67%.
One ton of wood pellets generates BTU energy equivalent to 4,755 kWh of electricity, but the cost is only 38%.
Environmentally friendly: Unlike many other fuel sources that will generate a lot of toxic fumes and dust when used, wood pellets not only take advantage of agricultural and industrial waste but also have a low ash level of only 1.17%-4. %.
High heat: Wood pellets emit quite high heat when burned, on average, 1 kg of wood pellets when burned can generate 4260 – 4600 kcal and can be higher or lower depending on the type of material used for production. .
Less smoke: Produced by modern production lines, wood pellets have a relatively small moisture content of <12%, so when burning produces little smoke, which is good for the health of users.

Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, etc., they will gradually wear out over time, causing high prices. Wood pellets take advantage of renewable materials such as wood mulch, pulp, sawdust, rice husks, etc. to produce, ensuring a stable reserve and the least price fluctuation.

Wood pellets are produced through a modern production line, which ensures stable average heat output/kg, does not cause a large heat difference, and contributes to increasing the life of boilers and combustion equipment. In particular, in the process of use, wood pellets when burned also produce less smoke, helping to increase the life of stoves and boilers higher, and the consumer benefits are also significantly increased.

Besides, the amount of ash generated from Wood Pellets is also very small, does not affect too much to the boiler and the attached combustion equipment.

Saving costs and transportation time: Wood pellets are produced on a modern line, compressed into long pellets and packed into small bags in different volumes, very convenient for use and transportation. transfer.

Does not pollute the environment and affect users’ health: Made from pure natural materials, when burning Wood Pellets will not produce harmful gases that affect the quality of the living environment. The use of wood pellets is contributing to creating a fresher and more natural living environment.

Simple to use, hygienic and convenient: Compressed into convenient long pellets, you will not need to spend much effort and time to process before burning like coal or oil.

In particular, wood pellets produce very little ash, so you can quickly clean the incinerator after use.

Residual ash can be used to make clean fertilizer: A feature that many people like about wood pellets is that the ash residue after burning can be used as a clean fertilizer for agricultural production. economical and convenient. It is also one of the highly effective bio-fertilizers.
