3.5-4T/H Wood Pellet Making Line In Ecuador

Construction content and scale

The main construction content of this wood pellet making line in Ecuador project is to rely on the existing processing plant, dry material warehouse, finished product warehouse and other facilities, demolish the existing wet material warehouse, and build a new wet material warehouse to expand the storage capacity.

A new biomass fuel pellet processing production line and supporting environmental protection facilities will be built. The construction content of this project is shown in the table below:

Consumption of main raw and auxiliary materials

The consumption of main raw and auxiliary materials for this wood pellet making line in Ecuador project is shown in the following table:

Note: Sawn timber and wood chips are divided into dry materials (moisture content 11%-20%) and wet materials (moisture content 40%-50%), with wet materials accounting for 20% and dry materials accounting for 80%.

Ecuador Wood Pellets Process Design

Brief description of Ecuador Wood Pellets Process:

Crushing 1:

Wet sawn timber and wood chips with a moisture content of about 40%-60% are crushed by a crusher and then put into the wet material bin. Due to the high moisture content of the wet material, there is no need to consider the dust generation in the crushing 1 process.

Drying:

The wood pellet making line in Ecuador project uses a dryer to dry the wet material. The drying equipment uses self-produced biomass pellets as fuel, and the hot air generated by combustion dries the wet material. After drying, the material enters the dry material bin through a closed pipe.

The waste gas generated in this process includes fuel combustion waste gas and drying dust, which are collected and treated by a bag dust collector and discharged through a 20m exhaust pipe (DA002). The grass ash generated by the combustion of biomass pellets is a general solid waste and is sold as agricultural fertilizer.

Crushing 2:

Dry sawn timber and wood chips with a moisture content of about 11%-20% are directly crushed by a crusher and then put into a dry material bin. The dust generated in this process is collected and processed together with the granulation dust by a bag dust collector.

Granulation:

The dry material is transported to the granulator through a closed screw conveyor. Strong pressure friction between the material and the roller and template in the wood granulator generates a large amount of heat, which heats the material to about 80°C and presses the material into biomass pellets.

After the biomass pellets are naturally cooled, they are sent to the packaging area by a belt conveyor for packaging and sale. The dust generated in this process is collected and processed together with the crushing dust by a bag dust collector.

Main equipment

The wood pellet making line in Ecuador project uses existing crushers, granulators, screw conveyors, belt conveyors and other equipment, eliminates existing dryers, and adds 2 dryers to increase the processing capacity. The details are as follows:

Why is Ecuador suitable for building a wood pellet making line?

The main reasons why Ecuador is suitable for building a wood pellet plant include:

Rich forest resources

Ecuador has rich forest resources, especially tropical rainforests, which provide sufficient wood raw materials.

Sustainable forestry management

The country implements sustainable forestry management to ensure the long-term supply of wood resources while protecting the ecological environment.

Policy support

The Ecuadorian government supports the development of renewable energy and environmental protection industries. Wood pellets, as biomass energy, may receive policy benefits.

Market demand

The global demand for renewable energy is growing. As a clean energy, wood pellets have broad market prospects and are in demand in both the local and international markets of Ecuador.

Cost advantage

Ecuador has relatively low labor costs, rich wood resources, and low raw material costs, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

Environmental benefits

Wood pellet processing helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, reduce carbon emissions, and is in line with environmental protection trends.

Technical support

Ecuador has a certain amount of technical accumulation in the fields of forestry and biomass energy, and can provide technical support for wood pellet processing.

Geographical location

Ecuador is located in the northwest of South America, which is convenient for exporting wood pellet products to markets such as North America, Europe and Asia, with low logistics costs.

Sustainable development

Wood pellet processing is in line with the concept of sustainable development, using renewable resources and reducing the impact on the environment.

From the above content, it can be seen that Ecuador has advantages in resources, policies, markets, costs, environmental protection, technology and geographical location, and is suitable for the construction of wood pellet making line in Ecuador.

In addition to this wood pellet making line in Ecuador project, we have built many shrimp feed production lines, fish feed production lines, biomass pellet production lines and organic fertilizer production line projects in Ecuador.
