Biomass pellet fuel production uses plant fibers as raw materials, including wood and bamboo product processing scraps, rice processing crude shells, tree residues, firewood, straw, cotton stalks, hemp stalks and other combustible biomass. The basic processing technology is: crushing, drying, and extrusion molding. Biomass pellet fuel meets the fuel requirements of industrial production by changing the combustion properties of biomass such as density, strength, and moisture content.
Biomass raw materials
The main engineering of this project is the construction of a biomass pellet production line. Auxiliary projects include the construction of production workshops, raw material storage sheds, finished product warehouses, weighbridge rooms, power supply and distribution systems, water supply pipe networks, office spaces and canteens that are compatible with the main project. The main engineering content of the project is shown in Table 1-1, and the construction area and structure of the main civil works are shown in Table 1-2.

The main raw materials for the production of biomass pellet fuel are the waste bamboo chips after the processing of bamboo products, the leftover materials after the processing of woodware, branches, straws, etc. Calculate the amount of raw materials based on the current product output as follows.
Table 1-4 Raw (fuel) auxiliary materials and annual consumption
Serial number | Name | Unit | Annual consumption | Source of raw materials and others |
1 | Bamboo chips | ton | 100000 | Bamboo product processing enterprises |
2 | Wood and branches | ton | 30000 | Wood processing and agricultural and forestry waste |
3 | Straw | ton | 50000 | Crop straw collected from farmland |
4 | Packaging bag | ten thousand | 240 | Divide the pellets into 50kg/bag |
Part of the raw material consumed in the production of biomass fuel pellets is used for combustion in the drying kiln as fuel, and the other part is the raw material that is pulverized, dried, and extruded into biofuel pellets.

water for live | 150L/person·d | 40 people | 6.0 | 300 | 4.8 |
Total | 10.0 | 4.8 |
Water supply: The staff's domestic water comes from the water plant in Zhoujiatan Village, and the water supply demand is about 10m3/d. The fire fighting water comes from the southwest pond with an area of about 10 mu. See Table 1-7 for production and domestic water consumption.
Drainage: Drainage is a separate system of rain and sewage. There is no production wastewater. Domestic sewage is about 4.8m3/d. After treatment in a septic tank, it is discharged into the southwest pond to feed fish.
(2) Power supply
The installed capacity of electrical equipment for this project is 17000Kw, and the transformers of Taojiang Hongxin Paper Co., Ltd. are used. The starting and protection equipment of electrical equipment are installed on the power distribution panel of the power distribution room, and only the electrical room and control buttons are installed on site.
(3) Fire protection
The production of biomass fuel pellets has a large dust concentration and a moisture content as low as 5-20%. Once a fire source exists, it can cause a major fire. Fire safety will be the most important part of the company’s safe production. The project will install fire hoses, fire hydrants and a certain number of indoor fire extinguishers in accordance with the fire protection requirements; all electrical equipment will be equipped with short-circuit protection and overload protection devices. Once abnormal conditions occur Then it will sound an alarm or automatically cut off the power supply to quickly eliminate fire hazards or reduce the scope of the accident; the substation is installed with a grounding protection device, and the grounding resistance is not greater than 10Ω. The main building belongs to the third type of lightning protection structure, and the corresponding lightning protection is adopted in the design Grounding protection measures.
In order to ensure sufficient fire-fighting water sources, the company has leased the southwest pond (approximately 15 mu).
