Wood Pellets They are an agglomerate of wood with low moisture content and high calorific value.

This is a renewable fuel with strong environmental benefits.

The pellets and their use

Wood pellets are compressed cylindrical wood with about 6 to 8 millimeters in diameter and with a length which may vary from 10 to 40 mm.
Pellets are often used in water and air heating systems both on domestic and residential applications.
In many Nordic countries, where heating is essential to guarantee the minimal living conditions, many district heating systems operate at pellets. The quality of life and often the survival of these people depends on the heating systems reliability. The use of pellets as the main heating source is a great proof of confidence, once they are totally dependent on these.

Properties

Pellets are produced under a strict quality control system. Random samples of pellets are analyzed on local laboratories and independent accredited laboratories to ensure quality standards.
On the list below there are some specifications of our pellets:

Lower calorific value

16-19MJ/kg

Diameter

6 a 8mm

Length

4 a 40mm

Ash content (550ºC)

≤1,5%

Density

≥600kg/m³

Moisture

≤10%

Certification

One of our main goals is the certification according to ENplus standards.
The pellets certification is a guarantee of quality and sustainability for all our customers. The certification process is demanding and requires a lot of control over the entire production process, including the selection of raw materials.
Know more about the demands and characteristics associated with the ENplus standard.

Clean and safe energy With the use of pellets you can reduce annual charges with Greenhouse Gases emision taxes.
This is a clean energy source.

The handling of pellets is much safer than fossil fuels. The risk of accident and explosion is practically nonexistent.

Production

The manufacturing process for pellets rely on strategic partnerships with companies in the timber industry. Forest timber production is conducted objectively to ensure all requirements for raw material for the production of pellets. Most of the raw material that is used on our factories comes from forest residues and from byproducts generated on selective timber logging processes.
In general, the process comprises the following steps:

COLLECTION AND STORAGE

SELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION

GRIND

DRYING

MILLING

PELETIZATION

COOLING

PACKING AND/OR STORAGE

Advantages

Pellets are a renewable fuel, and thus 100% natural, which does not contain any synthetic additives.

Once the carbon released by burning biomass is equivalent to the carbon sequestered in biomass growth, it is fair to say that there's a neutral balance in terms of CO₂ emissions.

The pellet properties, especially its low moisture content, allows for a more efficient combustion with very low smoke release compared to the burning of wood. Furthermore, as the pellet has a reduced size, it is possible to have greater control and accuracy over the burning fuel, thereby avoiding any waste.

Pellets can generate the same quality and quantity of thermal energy that current fossil systems can, but at fraction of price.

Existing fossil heating systems can easily be switched to pellets.

Mature and reliable automation and control technology for pellets burning systems.

Pellet storage is cleaner and safer than fossil fuels storage.
