How much is a ton of biomass particles for boilers?

07 Oct 2022

In recent years, due to the increasing pressure of environmental protection and the increasingly serious energy crisis, biomass boiler has been widely used as a common environment-friendly boiler, so the biomass fuel particles in the boiler become the primary problem that users need to know before purchasing biomass boiler. As a professional manufacturer of biomass boilers, ZOZEN Boiler analyzes the question of how much a ton of biomass particles is for everyone.

How much is a ton of biomass particles for boilers?

How much is a ton of biomass particles for boilers mainly depends on the following four points:

1. Raw materials

Raw materials of biomass fuel particles for boilers include straw, peanut shells, oak sawdust, poplar sawdust, pine sawdust, etc. The purchase price of straw is 150 yuan/ton, peanut shells is 280-330 yuan/ton, oak sawdust is 300-400 yuan/ton, poplar sawdust is 200-300 yuan/ton and pine sawdust is 350-450 yuan/ton. Note: The moisture content of sawdust is about 10%.

2. Distance problem

Normal distance, such as 200 kilometers, is between 60-80 yuan. If the car runs far, less freight will definitely be high. Avoid small tonnage purchase as much as possible. Joint purchase or bulk purchase can be used to reduce transportation costs.

3. Quality of biomass fuel particles in boiler

Different kinds of boiler biomass fuel particles have different quality and calorific value. At present, in the market, the calorific value of straw briquette fuel, peanut shell briquette fuel, peanut shell pellet fuel, oak pellet fuel, poplar pellet fuel and pine pellet fuel are 3500kcal/kg, 3800kcla/kg, 4000kcla/kg and 4300kcla/kg, respectively, and the amount of boiler biomass fuel particles per ton is increasing.

4. Purchase tonnage

The larger the tonnage purchased, the less the logistics cost per ton, and the less the biomass fuel particles of the boiler cost per ton. For example, if you order a ton of products, the logistics cost is 400 yuan/ton, 40 bags per ton, and one bag of 10 yuan. The cost is too high, so the initial trial burning can be done, so as to avoid the backlog caused by poor product quality.

ZOZEN biomass boiler has wide fuel adaptability.

Among the factors that affect the cost of biomass fuel particles per ton, the quality of biomass fuel particles is crucial, which directly affects the thermal efficiency of biomass boilers. ZOZEN Boiler, a professional biomass boiler manufacturer, studied the combustion characteristics of biomass fuel particles in different boilers, and developed and designed an upgraded biomass boiler. The upgraded version of biomass boiler fuel has a wide applicability, and can be applied to various fuels such as boiler biomass fuel particles, wood chips, palm shells, straws and the like. According to different fuel characteristics, ZOZEN boiler technicians optimized the design of hopper, width and length of grate, speed of grate reducer, ratio of primary and secondary air, position and direction of secondary air outlet, etc., which not only ensured the thermal efficiency of the boiler to reach more than 88%, but also effectively reduced NOx emissions, completely meeting the national standards.
