Profit analysis of processing biomass fuel with pellet plant

Pellet plant is the professional equipment for processing biomass fuels. In the modernization construction of our country, a large number of straw were burned or abandoned, which not only lead to serious environmental pollution, but waste precious renewable resources. Biomass fuel produced by pellet plant has large density, high calorific value, sufficient combustion, low cost, easy to use, clean, sanitation, easy to transport and storage, etc. It can be used as the fuel of gasifier, agricultural greenhouse, boiler, heating furnace and power generation, also can be used as raw materials of biogas production, fertilizer, feed and high density board, etc. The application of biomass fuel has a very wide range. However, biomass energy industry starts late in China, the research and development of pellet plant is also in recent years. Some users would be worried about the economic benefits of biomass fuel when investing in pellet plant. Thus, in the following content we would like to introduce the economic benefits of biomass fuel produced by the pellet plant?



In the international market, the use and research of pellet plant are quite earlier. Nowadays, the biomass curing fuel produced by pellet plant has been commercialized in Japan, the European Union, the United States and other countries and regions and has become very popular and convenient and can be bought in the supermarket. While in the market in China, it appears as a new type of product. We would take cornstalk as an example to explain the economic benefits of biomass fuel produced by pellet plant.

The calorific value of cornstalk is about 0.8 to 0.9 times of coal that 1.1 t of corn stalk biomass fuel is equivalent to 1 t of coal.If the corn stalk biomass fuel is burned in the furnace, the combustion efficiency is 1.3 to 1.5 times of coal-fired boiler. Thus, the heat utilization ratio of 1 t  corn stalk biomass fuel is equivalent or even higher than the heat utilization ratio of 1t high quality coal. In addition, the combustion emissions of CO2 is close to zero. NO2 emissions is 14 mg/m3. So2 and dust emissions is far lower than the national standard. Therefore, the biomass fuel produced by pellet plant has important environmental protection and energy saving significance, which laid a solid foundation for its market application.

Currently, the purchasing price of crop straw is 160 yuan/t. The energy consumption for the production of straw biomass fuel is 70 kwn/t, equivalent to 70 yuan/t. The labor costs of straw biomass fuel is 45 yuan/t, depreciation of equipment is 10 yuan/ t and maintenance cost is 5 yuan/t, other fees calculated at 10 yuan/t, then the production cost of 1 t of straw biomass fuel is 300 yuan/t. While the straw biomass fuel now sells for 450 yuan/t, then if the annual output of a straw biomass fuel processing factory is 3000 t, it could generate profit of 450000 yuan per year. Basically, the investment can be recovered in a year, and the economic benefit is significant. In addition, biomass fuel is about $170/t in the United States, if the cost is less than 300 yuan/t and export with the price of $70 - $80 / t, it would be quite competitive in the international market.

Through the above analysis, it is not hard to find out that biomass fuel not only have great significance in environmental protection and energy saving, but has considerable economic benefits, so it will get promoted. As a professional production equipment of biomass fuel, pellet plant will also have very good market prospect.
