Australia 4-5 T/H Biomass Straw Wood Pellet Plant

Project content and project composition

The biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project uses the existing factory building for construction. The site is currently vacant and has no original structures. The land is industrial land. The project covers an area of ​​2,100 m2 and a construction area of ​​1,550 m2. It includes screening plants, drying plants, pellet plants, finished product warehouses, intermediate warehouses, etc., with an annual production of 2,000 tons of biomass pellets.

First, the client company levels the site and excavates the earth in the project area, then the earth and construction materials are stacked and transported in and out of the site, followed by road construction, house construction, and decoration, and finally put into operation. The biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project content is detailed in the table below:

Main Equipment list

The main equipment of the biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project is shown in the table:

Besides, the electric circuit of this 4 tons per hour wood sawdust pellet production line strictly obeyed Australia/New Zealand electric standard. The wood pellet making plant was also equipped with emergency stop system and independent power switch for every single piece of wood pellet processing equipment to assure operating safety.

Design product plan and production scale

The main raw materials of the project are sawdust, wood chips and corn stalks. The two raw materials are produced separately and not mixed. The product plan is shown in the table below:

The raw and auxiliary materials consumption of this biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project is shown in the table below.

Process design

1. The biomass pellets of this biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project are produced in batches with sawdust chips or corn stalks as raw materials. After entering the site, wood waste or corn stalks are sent to the raw material yard for storage.
2. When sawdust chips are used as raw materials for production, they are first sent to the drying yard for drying to reduce the moisture content of the raw materials to 20-25%; when corn stalks are used as raw materials for production, the corn stalks are directly crushed, and the particle size of the crushed materials is 3mm.
3. After crushing, the materials are sent to the drying yard for drying to reduce the moisture content of the raw materials to 20%.
4. After drying, the raw materials are screened by the drum separator, and the large-size materials are sent back to the crusher for secondary crushing. The qualified materials are sent to the intermediate warehouse by the loader for storage. During the drying period, the raw materials are covered with rain.
5. The materials stored in the intermediate warehouse are transported to the drum dryer by a closed belt conveyor for drying. The drum dryer is equipped with a biomass hot air furnace to dry the materials. The moisture content is about 15%. The materials are sent to the straw wood pellet mill machine by a closed belt conveyor for granulation in a closed space.
6. The temperature in the granulator is controlled at 110~120℃, and the moisture in the raw material itself that has not been completely dried is used to press it into granules. The product size is 6-10mm in diameter and 2~5cm in length. The granulator is a closed device with its own cloth bag to treat the exhaust gas. After the qualified product granules are naturally cooled, they are manually packaged and put into storage for sale.

Plane layout

The site of this biomass straw wood pellet plant in Australia project has a flat terrain. The raw material yard, drying yard, intermediate warehouse, screening workshop, drying workshop, granulation workshop, and finished product warehouse of the production project are arranged sequentially in the factory area, so that the process of "raw materials entering the factory - raw materials storage - production - finished product storage" can be operated in a flow-line manner.

The living area is located in the northwest corner of the project. The dominant wind direction of the project location is southwest wind all year round. The project production area is located in the lower wind direction of the living area. The dust and exhaust gas in the project production area have little impact on the living area.

In addition, in order to beautify and improve the factory environment, the factory selects local dust-resistant varieties and selects ornamental tree species in key areas. The living area and production area of ​​the factory are greened to improve the production and living environment of employees and the external image of the factory, and create a modern factory atmosphere.

Overview of Australia's potential for starting biomass straw wood pellet plant

Australia's bioenergy industry remains active and full of ideas about how to keep up with the international pace. The prospects for developing a biomass wood straw pellet production line in Australia are generally positive. ‌

Although Australia's bioenergy industry started late, with the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, biomass pellets, as a renewable energy source, are increasing in demand and market potential. The Australian government and relevant departments are also gradually introducing relevant policies to support the development of biomass energy. ‌

1. First, the increasing global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development has prompted more and more countries and regions to promote the use of biomass pellet fuels to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This trend provides a good external environment for the development of Australia's biomass pellet market. ‌
2. Secondly, the production technology of biomass pellets is already very mature, the production cost is constantly decreasing, and the production efficiency is also improving. This makes biomass pellets more competitive in the highly competitive market. ‌
3. In addition, Australia has abundant biomass resources, such as bagasse, wood waste, etc., which can be used as raw materials for the production of biomass pellets. This provides sufficient raw material guarantee for the construction and operation of biomass pellet production lines. ‌
4. However, the development of Australia's biomass energy industry still faces some challenges, such as the lack of clear strategies and supporting policies, and insufficient support at the regulatory level. These issues need further attention and resolution from the government and relevant departments.

In general, the prospects for Australia to develop biomass pellet production lines are broad, but it requires the joint efforts of the government and enterprises to formulate reasonable policies and strategies to make full use of this sustainable development resource.
