Seasoning Woodchip

[Marlin.45]

Fluid bed drying would be the best solution but cost may be a stopper on that one. Could do you a good line in 500kg batch FBD's though with change from £1M

 

Take no notice of me. I'm on the tequila

Problem with fluid bed is that you still need fuel for drying. If you have the right equipment you can use the waste gas given off by the woodchip to dry the woodchip and generate electric. Did not say the equipment we have is cheap. if we bought it new the biomass generation plant would be in excess of £2.5m

I would like to thank Rover for your post as it is very helpful.

 

Also could I trouble you Renewable John regarding the contact for the solar drying you mentioned
