Arboreal granules (pellets)
Arboreal granules (pellets) are produced according to Belarusian Certification STB 2027-2010 and used for public utilities and household needs, for industrial boiling houses as biofuel. Pellets caloricity is 1,5 times more than wood caloricity and can be compared with black coal, but when burnt pellets release carbon dioxide as much as at natural decomposition of wood. Thus pellets are considered to be modern and pollution-free fuel.
Pellets are produced from woodworking and sawing wastes (shavings and sawdust) without adding glue or other additives. Pellets are made by granulation in a pelleting press.
Pellets GDT 3 quality (arboreal fuel granules made from different wood species) complies with the following parameters:
