Research on the Processing Methods and Equipments for Densified Biomass Fuel

Biomass is a kind of clean energy, which is inexhaustible and renewable. Densifying biomass into solid fuel has become one of the most important ways of utilizing biomass as a source of energy, which can overcome the shortcomings of biomass, such as low heat value, small buck density and irregular shape, etc. The main processing methods and equipments for densified biomass fuel were introduced in the paper, including their main components and working principles. The performances comparison between different types of equipment were analyzed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reference for developing equipments of densified biomass fuel to promote a further development of densified biomass fuel industry in China.
