Feedstock Input:

Types:

• Wood Chips (<0.5 in/12 mm)
• Bio-Crops (Switchgrass, Miscanthus, etc.)
• Energy Bio-grasses

Feed Rate of Wood Biomass (Moisture Content < 40%) 15,00 lbs/hr / 6,800 kg/hr (Dry Basis)

Electrical Consumption:

• 300 kW—Connected Requirement
• 225 kW—Estimated Operating Usage

Product Output:

• 5 Tons per Hour Torrefied Product
• Energy Content—10,000 BTU/lb / 5,500 kCal/kg (± 10%)
• Moisture Content < 10%
• Input to Output Ratio: Approx. 3 tons of “green” feedstock yields 1 ton of torrefied product. (Based on <40% moisture content of feedstock) Input to Output ratios may vary depending on type of feedstock and operating conditions.

Gas Consumption:

• Natural or Propane
• 11.0 million BTU/hr—Connected Requirement
• 200,000 BTU/hr—Estimated Operating Usage (fuel required for pilot as safety feature)

Water Usages:

• Cooling Process
• Fire Suppression Functions
