Biomass is rated on size and moisture content. Size will be rated as G30. G50. G100 etc. Max size and length is important. From memory G 100 max length is 300mm whereas G 50 is 200mm exceeding these figures will give you and your customer grief.

 

Different boilers have different moisture requirements. One with an underfed hearth normally will not accept chip with more than 35 percent moisture content. Step grate machines 50 pc MC is usable.

Your customers will prefer the chip to be as dry as possible. They will not want to use chip to boil off water.The price you can get will reflect this.

 

Transport will vary with each customer. Artic with a walking floor is good for large loads but access or store size may limit this.

 

A chipper with a series of screens to cater for different specs is ideal. Some chippers are not really suitable for biomass.We have seen several some good some not so.

We often get small free loads from the likes of hi line when they are in our area. This chip is normally small, wet and of low value. We are much more fussy about serious quanties that we pay for.

This is obviously a very basic outline but I hope I helps your understanding of what is required.

If you have any specific questions I will try to answer them.
