<div class="moz-cite-prefix">One of the problem with pellet making
from agricultural residues like wheat husk or rice husk is that
there a lot of cheap pellet mills around. However most of these
pellet mills are designed for making feed pellets from relative
soft materials. These machines can not make fuel pellets from
agricultural residues in a rational and economic way.<br>
You will have to run the materials through the mills several times
for getting some kind of pellets and there will be a lot of
maintenance on the pellet mills. We have had bad experiences with
that.<br>
Any reasonable commercial production of fuel pellets will require
pellet mills that are designed for that, and they are somehow more
expensive.<br>
So if you want to go in to pellet production you need too look
careful around and find appropriate equipment. Else you end up
with another failed densification system.<br>

It seems that Home Depot,

all carry wood pellets.
Why can we not make TLUDs
that make use of these
pellets as fuel? The only
thing that changes is the
height of the reactor:
it's much less than the
height of a reactor that
uses undensified biomass.
This means that the TLUD
is small, lightweight,
mobile and much cheaper.<br>

This is a

does it make sense
to transport
coffee husk
pellets half way
around the world
to provide fuel
for Dutch power
stations? Why not
make use of these
pellets in Brazil?
Also, one might
argue that the
highest and best
use of coffee husk
pellets would be,
not to burn them

stations, but to
generate from them
a syngas that
would replace
bottled gas or

the UK? Does the
UK not have an
abundance of
agricultural
waste? And once
again, should we
not focus more on
producing syngas
from pellets and
directly using
this syngas to
cook a meal?
Burning pellets to
make electricity
is surely not the
wisest way to
proceed,
especially if this
electricity is
used as a source
of energy to cook
a meal. Why not
bypass the power
station
altogether?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What's
needed above all
else, in my
opinion, are
small, beautiful
TLUD's that make
use of pellets.
Such units could
be situated in
modern kitchens
throughout the
world. Once these
units are in
place, the rest
will follow.<o:p></o:p></p>
