Design of a Forest Residue Baler – Specification of Bale Dimensions
Abstract Specification of bale dimensions, configuration, and density are among the first decision decisions to be made for the design of a new class of
Woody Biomass Size Reduction with Selective Material Orientation
Abstract Roundwood logs from forests and energy plantations must be chipped, ground, or otherwise comminuted into small particles prior to conversion to solid or liquid
Advances in Woody Biomass Drying by Taking Advantage of Surface Properties
Abstract Comprehensive models for grain drying have been derived using critical data available from literature dating back to Shedd’s 1953 work on pressure drop. Although
Beneficiation of Chipped and Shredded Woody Biomass
Abstract Forest Concepts, with funding from USDA NIFA SBIR program, developed methods and equipment to reprocess low-value dirty forest chips, tree service chips, and hog
Shear Processing of Wood Chips into Feedstock Particles
Abstract We have an objective to convert cellulosic biomass raw materials into small particles that are optimized for biochemical and/or thermochemical conversion to liquid transportation
Low-Energy Comminution of Woody Biomass to Create Precision Feedstock Particles
Abstract Under funding from DOE Office of Biomass Programs, engineers at Forest Concepts are working to apply low-energy comminution methods to produce improved biomass particle
