Maximum energy from biomass – efficient drying with a system
Biomass is one of the key pillars of sustainable energy supply. Whether wood chips, sawdust, bark, straw, or industrial residues, the energy potential is significant. However, this potential can only be fully utilized if the biomass has the correct moisture level.
This is where the difference between profitability and daily energy losses becomes clear.
Moisture reduces energy efficiency
Fresh biomass often contains between 40 and 60 percent water. This water significantly reduces the calorific value, as it must first be evaporated during combustion. The energy required for this is then missing from the actual process.
A modern biomass dryer ensures that the moisture content is reduced in a targeted manner. This increases:
- the calorific value significantly
- combustion quality
- energy yield per tonne of material
- process stability in the plant
Drying is therefore not an additional step – it is the foundation of economic efficiency.
Process stability through controlled drying
In addition to energy yield, process reliability plays a decisive role. Unevenly dried biomass leads to fluctuating calorific values, unstable combustion processes, and increased maintenance requirements.
A professional biomass dryer ensures uniform, reproducible drying. The material leaves the system with precisely defined residual moisture – regardless of fluctuations in the raw material.
This creates predictable operating conditions and stable production processes in the long term.
Different materials – different requirements
Biomass is not a uniform raw material. Wood chips differ structurally from sawdust; bark behaves differently from agricultural residues. Particle size, density, and initial moisture vary considerably.
A high-performance biomass dryer must account for these differences. Standard solutions quickly reach their limits. What is required is a system engineered specifically for the material.
