Sunflower husk pellets can be a good alternative to wood fuel. They are commonly used in biomass power plants and industrial boilers. Sunflower husk pellets typically have an ash content of 2-3%, while the ash content of wood pellets is 1-1.5%. However, due to their more attractive price, sunflower husk pellets are increasingly used for co-firing with wood pellets to achieve a better balance of cost and energy efficiency. Sunflower husk pellets are an environmentally clean fuel. The amount of CO2 released during combustion is comparable to the amount released during natural decomposition.
Sunflower husk pellets are a modern and efficient natural fuel. To produce it, the husk is pressed through special dies. During the process, the husk is additionally heated, which allows the lignin in the waste to plasticise and release a natural adhesive substance. This is what helps to form the pellets.
Sunflower pellets are pellets characterised by the following properties:
The exact dimensions depend on the specifics of the die used in production.
This type of fuel has conquered the specialist market due to the following positive features:
These characteristics make pellets the optimal modern fuel for heating various types of premises.
