Abstract
The present study is a contribution to demonstrate the potential for using of forest residual biomass for small-scale bioenergy production comprising the installation of small ( <<1 MW) co-generation systems or wood boilers by end-users, such as medium and small industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, and school or residential complexes. A small-scale bioenergy production system allows better use of biomass input energy and diversification of biomass typology for bioenergy production. In this study particular attention is given to forest residual biomass which, in the context of this system, needs special pre-treatment, namely chipping, separation and drying. The development and optimization of the pre-treatment technology is the framework of the present study. Different types of residual biomass were sampled and analysed, and the influence of the particle size and homogeneity on moisture sorption properties, gross calorific value and flammability was evaluated for different types of residual biomass.
