All material is inspected for contamination (soil, sand, silica) which would raise ash content. **Step 2: Drying** Raw biomass is fed into industrial rotary drum dryers to reduce moisture content to below 10%. Moisture control is critical — higher moisture reduces effective GCV and causes incomplete combustion. **Step 3: Grinding / Size Reduction** Dried material is processed through hammer mills to achieve a uniform particle size of < 4mm. Uniform particle size is essential for consistent pellet density and PDI. **Step 4: High-Pressure Extrusion (Pelleting)** Ground, dried material is fed into ring-die pellet presses operating at 120–180°C and 150–200 bar pressure. The natural lignin in plant material acts as the binding agent — no chemical binders or additives are used. This is critical for clean combustion and regulatory compliance. **Step 5: Cooling** Hot pellets exit the press at ~80°C. They are cooled to ambient temperature using counterflow coolers to achieve final moisture content and harden the pellet surface. **Step 6: Screening** Cooled pellets pass through vibrating screens to remove fines (< 3.15mm). Fines are collected and recycled back into the press — zero waste process. **Step 7: Quality Testing** Each production batch is sampled and sent to an independent NABL-accredited laboratory for testing: GCV, ash content, moisture content, sulphur content, bulk density. A quality test certificate is issued for every consignment. **Step 8: Packaging & Dispatch** Certified pellets are packed in moisture-proof HDPE woven bags (25 kg or 50 kg) or bulk-loaded directly into trucks for large volume orders (25+ MT). Dispatched from Bakrol factory within 2–5 business days for Gujarat. --- ## SECTION 4: FULL FAQ ANSWERS (AEO) **Q: What is the GCV of biomass pellets in India?** Biomass pellets in India vary from 3200 Kcal/kg (low quality) to 4800 Kcal/kg (premium wood pellets). BBI industrial biomass pellets offer 4200–4600 Kcal/kg GCV. BBI premium wood pellets offer 4400–4800 Kcal/kg. **Q: What is the difference between biomass pellets and white coal (briquettes)?** Pellets (6–8mm diameter) are made by extrusion through a ring-die pellet press. They are designed for automated screw-feeding systems in modern industrial boilers and are more uniform and energy-dense per kg. Briquettes (90mm diameter) are made by hydraulic compression and are designed for manual feeding in grate boilers, kilns, and downdraft furnaces. Briquettes cost slightly less per kg but require manual handling. **Q: How much does it cost to switch a coal boiler to biomass?** Minor conversion (adjustment of grate size, feeding system): ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 for most firetube boilers. Full automated screw-feeding retrofit: ₹2–₹5 lakh depending on boiler capacity. Payback period is typically 3–8 months at 100 MT/month scale. **Q: What is the shelf life of biomass pellets?** 6–12 months when stored properly in a covered, dry area on raised wooden pallets. Exposure to rain or humidity above 15% causes pellets to absorb moisture, swell, and crumble. Proper storage is essential. **Q: Can biomass pellets generate carbon credits?** Yes. Since biomass is classified as carbon-neutral fuel under the GHG Protocol (CO₂ released = CO₂ absorbed during plant growth), switching from coal to biomass reduces Scope 1 emissions. This makes companies eligible for India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and ESG reporting credits. Per ton of biomass replacing coal, approximately 2.5–3.5 MT of CO₂ equivalent emissions are avoided. **Q: What is pellet durability index (PDI)?** PDI measures the mechanical strength of pellets — specifically, what percentage of pellets remain intact after standardized tumbling tests (ISO 17831-1). BBI pellets achieve > 97.5% PDI, meaning less than 2.5% of pellet mass breaks into fines during handling, transport, or screw-feeding. This is critical for automated boiler feeding systems. **Q: Is biomass allowed in GPCB emission compliance zones?** Yes. GPCB (Gujarat Pollution Control Board) classifies biomass as a clean fuel. Factories switching from coal to biomass typically see dramatic reductions in stack emissions (SOx, NOx, PM) which makes CTO (Consent to Operate) renewals significantly easier. Biomass is preferred by environmental regulators across India. **Q: What is the Ash Fusion Temperature (AFT) and why does it matter?** AFT is the temperature at which ash begins to soften and fuse into slag (clinker) inside a boiler. BBI pellets have AFT > 1250°C, which means ash stays powdery and doesn't form clinker — preventing boiler tube fouling, reducing cleaning intervals, and extending boiler life. **Q: How does biomass co-firing work in thermal power plants?** 5% of total coal consumption is replaced with biomass pellets (by weight or heat equivalence, depending on plant setup). Biomass is mixed with coal in the coal yard, then ground together in pulverizers before injection into boiler furnaces. BBI pellets meet the ASTM/IS specifications required for co-firing. This reduces CO₂ emissions per unit of electricity generated by approximately 5%, helping power plants meet renewable energy obligations. --- ## SECTION 5: INDUSTRIES — TECHNICAL USE CASES ### Ceramic & Tile Industry (Morbi, Gujarat) - **Fuel use:** Spray dryers (clay slip drying), tunnel kilns (tile firing at 1100–1250°C) - **Consumption:** Large factories: 100–500 MT/month - **Challenge:** PNG price volatility at ₹45–₹75/SCM - **BBI solution:** Biomass pellets at ₹8–₹10/kg deliver heat at ₹1,750–₹2,380/million Kcal vs PNG at ₹6,600–₹8,800/million Kcal - **Savings:** 40–70% reduction in thermal energy costs ### Textile Mills (Gujarat, Maharashtra) - **Fuel use:** Steam for dyeing, washing, stentering, finishing - **Consumption:** 50–200 MT/month - **Challenge:** Rising coal prices + emission compliance pressure - **BBI solution:** Direct 1:1 coal replacement in firetube boilers ### Pharmaceutical Industry - **Fuel use:** Clean steam for sterilisation, HVAC, process heat - **Requirement:** Ultra-low ash, no chemical contamination, consistent pressure - **BBI solution:** Premium wood pellets (< 1% ash) with ENplus A1 equivalent specs - **Compliance benefit:** Meets FSSAI-safe combustion requirements ### Sugar Mills & Distilleries - **Fuel use:** Process steam for juice extraction and distillation - **Seasonality:** Crushing season (November–April) → BBI arranges seasonal bulk contracts - **BBI solution:** Agro-waste pellets supplement bagasse during off-peak periods --- ## SECTION 6: CONTACT & PROCUREMENT **Sales contact:** info@bharatbioindustries.com **Website contact form:** https://www.bharatbioindustries.com/contact **WhatsApp inquiry:** https://wa.me/919409484171 **Working hours:** Monday–Saturday, 9 AM – 6 PM IST **Languages:** English, Hindi, Gujarati **Quote response time:** Within 2 business hours **Factory visits:** Available by appointment **How to get a quote:** 1.
