How to select the address of pellet plant

Along with the approaching of petrochemical economic ages, the petroleum and coal is facing with exhausting around the world. The development and exploitation of renewable alternative resource have become a strategic topic which influences the future development of the international community.Due to the shorter period formation time and low cost of biomass energy, it can carry out good natural ecosystem balance; biomass energy has become one of the important strategic tusks for the governments of all countries.Raw material for biomass energy (include crop straw, wood bran, peanut shell, corn, tree branch, bark, and leaf...etc.) pass through crushing, and compresses and solidifies as biomass formation briquette and biomass pellet fuel, which is one of the important form of the applying of biomass fuel currently.Because of various governmental policy support and huge business benefits contained by the biomass pellet plant industry, it has become a hot point of investment of the related industries chain of biomass industry for the sellers and venture capital investment currently.Each research organization and high education institution has carry out the related technical research in succession.The development, popularizing and promotion of biomass pellet plant are equal to a new energy revolution. For each time of energy revolutions, it will form a series of new industry completely; and for each industry, it will form some industry tycoons as well and bring the honor and huge sum of benefits to the proprietor of these business enterprises.The enterprise of Pearl River Delta region has all witness the history of industry development of the household appliances and gas appliance basically.Generally speaking, the related industry of biomass pellet plant is at the beginning of industry development currently, each industry technique and market is not mature relatively and basically.



The industry chain of biomass energy includes biomass energy fuel equipment industry (various biomass briquette machine, pellet mill and other formation fuel equipments production enterprise) and formation fuel industry (produce various kinds of biomass formation fuel), the industry of application product of biomass formation fuel (for example, biomass fireplace, pellet stoves and other production using biomass formation fuel).For the sake of rapid development of biomass fuel and application, the nation has given policy support to several industries; currently the biomass fuel equipment has already been listed into the agriculture machine equipment scope and enjoys the rural subsidy of agriculture machine. The biomass formation fuel could enjoy the government price subsidy of 150 Yuan per ton. Currently, applying of biomass fuel regardless for residential or for business, it can enjoy the government subsidy in the market, and it is not sure that each industrial equipment of applying biomass formation fuel as raw material whether has related policy.From the formation fuel equipment to the raw material product, the technology is from simple to mature which can satisfied the use. But it still require time and resources devotion to make it form satisfying period to real mature.At the end of 2011, the author has went and saw a small scaled biomass pellet fuel enterprise,  it can operate as usual at the end of 2011, and the supply of wood pellet falls to meet the demand. But speaking of the business process with the boss, he has suffered a lot of pain from purchasing equipments to the normal operation of the production line. Because of the failures of the equipments, the technical personnel of the equipments producers almost gave up midway, one set of equipments almost spends nearly two sets of equipments expenses to make it normal reluctantly.The career of pellet plant has corroborated the current development situation of biomass formation equipment, it also told about the sufferings of the medium and small size pellet plant.In the suburbs of Yanqing city, a company form Beijing has tried to promote over1000 biomass heating stoves. After one years of installing, the heating stoves had all been taken back to the company after gaining image and achievement for some of the government personals. As the fuel for production equipment or flowing production line, biomass pellet fuel has lower cost comparing with oil and gas. It is now very hot in the Pearl River Delta region.Biomass pellet fuel had been applied in the developed countries in EU for almost 10 years, and pellet plant fuel has been promoted with fast development speed in recent years in Korea. 

The domestic biomass pellet plant related enterprise has come across mistakes or problems during the process of development as below. 
1. Separate the management of biomass pellet plant with the combustion equipments.Because the use of biomass energy belongs to a newly arisen market, the accelerated industry is not mature comparatively, which result in such a phenomenon in the market currently. The pellet plant is hard to sell the pellets, while the enterprise of combustion equipments can't give equipments user reliable fuel. It leads to the unhealthy development of the two industries.  

2. In order to solve the environmental pollution of the agriculture farming wastes, government at all levels concerned more on the promotion of biomass fuel boiler and the straw formation fuel strongly. Centering on the government policy, a lot of enterprises put efforts to engage in the business of agricultural heating system and household cooking equipment. It appeared two kinds of stoves on the market currently: the first one is of high automation degree, which can give the residents practical convenience to their life, but the cost for carrying out these functions is very high, there is nobody to buy this kinds of stoves except the partial government purchased stoves to the farmers; The second is the improved stoves on the basis of the old style stoves for the producers, it can use the new biomass pellet fuel. And it realized the replacement of old fuel basically, but it can not bring convenience to the life of the residents.It causes unsmooth of the promotion process of residence biomass cooking stoves. Because of the lower cost of the biomass energy comparatively, the burning equipments and the industrial stoves can bring big profit for the enterprise, there is no large scale enterprises engage in this business currently.


3. Due to various reasons, there are some pellet plants which get into the biomass pellet fuel industry, these pellet plant did not take it as a sun industry actually. They just carry on short date of speculation, which can not get enough resources and cause the biomass pellet fuel industrial become the heaven of small scaled private capital enterprises currently.Because of the limited resources input of the small scaled private capital pellet plant, it causes technique problem obstructing the development of this industry.

In recent years, more and more of the business enterprise enter into the biomass pellet plant along with booming development of our country sawdust combustion industry,   what should be noticed during the selection of in address for pellet plant?
1. The wood pellet plant should be chosen at the place where there are abundant raw materials for pellet plant with convenient transportation.The field should be close to the traffic arteries. This is not only advantageous to the production and transportation, but also lowered the cost and easy to the selling of the products.
2. The location should be flat in terrain, the earth should be strong and tough and underground water table should be lower with well ventilated, it should avert from the region that may be flooded by water or in the danger of slip or landslide.
3. The surrounding environment of the field should be avert from plant which discharge flammable, combustible and poisonous gas or harmful dust and the residential area; the area around the filed should has spacious temporary places, for the purpose of storage and drying of the sawdust materials.
4. The spot should be suited one's measures to local conditions and economical use of land, which can make full use of the wasteland or idly field.If it is possible, the original idle place and factory warehouse could be used possible to reduce the investment.
5. the place should be considered the fire prevention problem fully, the neighborhood should have water resources either to meet the demand for production, life and fire control.
6. The area of the biomass pellet plant should be up the standard of the transportation demand and hygiene request during the production processing, and it should be kept the space for development.
7. The palace should be selected nearby the village to solute the labor force problem.
