NEW PRODUCTS AT WORLD BIOENERGY 2014 The theme of the conference this year was “Taking you from know how to show how,” and there were plenty of exhibitors poised to show attendees how to grow their bioeconomy. Here’s a selection of the exhibits at the show. LEFT: The only Canadian exhibitor was InterWrap which boasts a BioBlanket that is popular in Scandanavia. It’s a paper-based, laminated cover for forest residuals that protects them from rain and snow to speed up the drying process. The blanket is then chipped and burned along with the forest residual. RIGHT: There was a variety of pelleting presses on hand that could pelletize anything from wood to waste, including this one from KAHL that is designed for universal use on a wide range of products. Powdery, fibrous, lumpy and pasty products can be processed into uniform pellets of different sizes, the company boasts. If biomass quality is the concern, moisture metres of all shapes and sizes were on hand that would be able to test the moisture content onsite rather than in a la b. Bulk material handling experts (Bruks and Noxor) were on hand to show how their systems would gently transfer pellets or gener al biomass handling from the mill to the transport vessel.
