Pellets or fuel pellets from sunflower husk · 러시아

High calorific value: calorific value of pellets is 4.3-4.5 kW/kg. This figure is comparable with coal and 1.6 times higher than that of wood. During the combustion of 1000kg of pellets made from the husk, the amount of heat energy released is same as while burning 685 liters of fuel oil/500 liters of diesel fuel/479 m3 of natural gas, or 1,600kg of timber. High durability: the durability index of sunflower husk pellets is 18, which means they are harder than olive cake. Sunflower husk pellets are manufactured for high uniformity of fuel and better transportability. Economical: the cost is relatively low, compared to coal, fuel oil, and gas. With relatively low cost, sunflower husk pellets can be effectively used as a solid fuel. Environmentally friendly: the sunflower pellets are environmentally friendly fuel. When it is burnt, the amount of CO2 released is the same as during the natural decomposition of biomass, which is used to produce it. So CO2 emission is zero emission. Unlike traditional energy, carcinogenic or other dangerous substances are released either during storage or during combustion. Given these characteristics, sunflower husk pellets prove to have great use for furnace heating systems in industrial applications. All of these advantages make sunflower husk pellets ideal biofuel options.
