Facility outline

Used as a dedicated storage system for large silos, and equipped with a pre-drying device for a biomass gasification power generating facility that utilizes forest residues.

Crushed wood chips are temporarily stored in the silo, and are pre-dried while being supplied to the power generating facility for the next stage of the process.

Pre-drying the wood chips increases the combustion (power generating) efficiency. The pre-drying device uses waste heat, and therefore offers a variety of benefits.
