Description
Summary:The paper presents the results obtained from the experimental researches conducted for tracking and monitoring the evolution of the length of fir tree pellets obtained using an experimental single pellet installation. The changes in pellet length represents an important quality parameter for biomass pellets used as biofuels. The evolution of pellet length was monitored for a period of 91 days and the results showed a strong connection between the changes in length or disintegration (rupture) of pellets and some of the input parameters characteristic for the raw material used. The results obtained in this paper offer an understanding on the factors affecting pellet quality and their durability in time.
