Abstract

Wood pellets for biofuel utilization are fragile and produce fines and dust when handled. Impact resistances of pellets were obtained by using tumbling box tester, ligno tester and rotary impact tester. The samples were sieved after each of the ten consecutive runs to generate a breakage vector of particle size classes: 0–1.00, 1.00–2.36, 2.36–3.15, 3.15–4.75 and > 4.75 mm. Similarly, a full-scale pneumatic blow wood pellets degradation experiment was conducted. The pellets were blown at different delivery pressures from 0.3 to 1 bars.
