producing wood chip for biomass

[Charleton Chips]

i was wondering would it be better if the wood chip I produce was kept in side a barn to be kept dry. i produce biomass by recycling arisings.

This must depend on your market, in general a power station will not pay a premium for dryer woodchip as long as it appears to be less than 45% mc wwb.

 

If you are supplying a good spec like G30 W30 to a private client then yes keep it dry, Even better is you actually meet the spec by screening and get paid by the heat meter but I have yet to see a supplier that agrees to this, mind I'm 4 years out of date now.

I always store my woodchip dry normally to G30 W20 spec for which I get a premium price.

At work we keep all chip out doors, and i think its once a month, a couple of arttics come and collect it for the power stations

so if i am going to the power stations just keep it outside. cud i sell straight to the power stations instead of selling to someone like vicary

i guess so bud, i could ask the boss at the end of the week. the only thing is that it cant contain rubbish like coke cans garden rubbish etc as theyll reload the chip and dump it back off at your yard and charge you for the truck fuel etc. we use eddie stobart

I think you'll have to use an agent, Charles Dunn at Shredco will be the one for Slough H&P by you or get on someone elses quota. There is a temporary shortage at present as Hyde Park took a lot of woodchip.
