PROPERTIES
PHYSICAL
Dimensions & shape
Affects compaction and burning technology of biomass. Smaller biomass can be converted evenly and speed up the process of conversion.
Moisture content
Affects storage duration & calorific value. High moisture content resulting biomass difficult to generate fuel & energy content of untreated biomass is low.
Permeability
Affects pyrolysis. Good permeability enable biomass to trap pyrolysis gases in its pores which increase residence time during reaction.
CHEMICAL
-
-
N, S, Cl content release toxic gas & cause corrosion
K, Na, Mg, Ca content reduces temp of ash melting
