Biomass Handling
Defining Industrial Requirements for Biomass Handling & Conveying
The biomass industry is growing rapidly as power generators respond to government-subsidised schemes to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. Biomass feedstocks range from wood chips and wood pellets to industrial waste from, for example, the paper and pulp, sewage handling and oilseed processing industries. This creates diverse requirements for biomass handing systems and conveyors

Designs are carefully tailored to handle materials with unpredictable flow characteristics and a high degree of variability. These materials often have undefined composition and moisture content, with microbial degradation further impacting their behaviour. Ensuring consistent and reliable flow is vital, especially in power generation industries where feed variability poses significant challenges.
