Peat is money. Under your feet. A Lot Of. It Very Much! Peat - fuel minerals, formed in the process of dying and incomplete decomposition of marsh plants in humidity conditions and limited access of air. Peat fields and bogs occupy about 350 million hectares (about 3 % of the land area) in the world, of which about 100 million hectares have industrial value. The explored peat reserves in Russia amount about 150 billion tons. In the 70-s years of the XX century in the USSR up to 90 million tons of peat are - more than in all other countries of the world put together. Peat contains 50-60% of carbon. The combustion heat is (maximum) - 24 Mj/kg. In addition to use as a fuel have a lot of different applications: as a fertilizer, heat insulation material, raw material in the chemical industry, in manufacture of sorbents, etc. The most important fact for us is that peat is a local fuel. With the beginning of mass application of automated boilers, working on fuel granules and briquettes, growth of prices for traditional energy sources and the growth of transportation tariffs - peat extraction and processing will begin to experience the second birth in Russia and the world. If you are interested - we have ready-made solutions for the peat transformation in the money.
In Russia we create already 2 factories on the peat processing, one of them - mobile briquettes factory - works on Sakhalin (more in detail). Now the equipment of the third factory - in the Tver region is mounted. Recently we make successful experiment on super-thin crushing of peat with its simultaneous drying that opens before the enterprises processing peat absolutely new possibilities.
Sawdust, wood chips, waste of plywood production, slabs, rods, trimmings, balance sheets, bark.
1. What today represent a wood waste for the majority of timber processing enterprises?
1.1. This is the main type of products, because usually more than 50% of the initial quantity of raw materials goes in the waste.
Straw - dry stems of plants, as a rule, exempt from the leaves, flowers and seeds. Straw for transportation, storage and further use is pressed by special machines in rolls or bales. By sustenance it’s considerably inferior to the hay.
Lignin is a complex organic natural polymer, in the base of the lignin formula is the benzene ring. Lignin is located in the outer layers of the cell membranes of the wood mainly. This fact explains its name, from the Latin Lignum - tree wood. Deposition of lignin in the cell walls of plants leads to an increase in their strength and lignifications. Lignin is an amorphous substance of yellow-brown color; insoluble in water and organic solvents.
Husks (husk) - outside the shell plant seeds. The best known is the husks received when shelling seeds of sunflower, rice, buckwheat. It has various applications in agriculture as an additive in animal feed, as a component in the manufacture of substrate for mushrooms cultivation, in hydrolysis industries for production of alcohols and fodder yeast.
If we consider the grass as raw materials for the production of feed of farm animals, the grass is a mass of freshly cut stems, leaves and buds herbal plants. In this connection mown grass in agriculture is often called the mass of green.
Sapropel - muddy humus deposits of plant and animal origin at the bottom of the closed freshwater (marshes, lakes), containing a large amount of organic substances in a colloidal state.
