Usage of wood pellet

Usage of wood pellet is varied with objects. In 100MW large-scale boilers, the shape of wood pellet is only used for transportation and storage, and wood pellet fuel is burned in suspension firing after crushing. This kind of large-scale boiler contributes to local energy supply such as generation of electric power and district heating and cooling system.

On the other hand, medium and small-scale boilers are used as an independent electric power plant in factories or for heating in hospitals and schools. Pellet stove is another combustion installation that is easy to use in house. These small scale boilers and pellet stoves are very convenient, from the aspect of easy-to-handle and cost efficient for companies and houses when they would like to introduce bioenergy in their building. Especially pellet stove, which can be used easily in house, has considerable attention as a heating appliance that can be an alternative to air-conditioner.
