Influence of Screening and Drying on Low‐Quality Wood Chips for Application in Small‐Scale Gasification Plants

Before using low‐quality wood chips for gasification on the small and medium scale (30–500 kW el ), mechanical fuel pretreatment has to be employed to ensure the required fuel characteristics concerning particle size distribution and moisture. Two different low‐quality wood assortments (calamity wood and roadside maintenance wood) were subjected to three different mechanical fuel pretreatment strategies and a detailed analysis was realized along...
