SIZE REDUCTION & DENSIFICATION DIRECTORY 2017

Size Reduction & Densification Directory 2017

Size reduction and densification - two of the most widely established and used forms of solid biomass pre-treatment.
Reducing bulk volume and increasing bulk density means a more uniform product, better payloads and enables longer
transport distances. Depending on the downstream application, size reduction is, as the term implies, reducing the over
all size of a variable feedstock to produce a more uniform size-specific product, say converting roundwood or billets into
micro-chips. Or it can be an issue of increasing the surface area for a better reaction, say in a biogas plant, or converting
wood pellets to a powder for combustion. Densification on the other hand, for pellets or briquettes, is about increasing
the bulk density of size reduced material by compressing particles together.
There are many manufacturers and suppliers of these types of equipment and the purpose of this directory is to provide
an overview. To qualify companies have to be engaged in export and/or have subsidiaries in other regions, the country
shown is where it is headquartered. Although comprehensive the listing is not exhaustive neither is it an endorsement.

Ground-breaking for
Mälarenergi's unit 7 CHP
Work has begun on building Mälarenergi AB's Block 7, a
new waste wood-fired 150 MW combined heat and power
(CHP) plant that will replace the last remaining fossil fuel-
fired parts of its energy complex in Västerås, Sweden. On
October 4, a ground-breaking ceremony was held by the
Swedish municipal energy utility to mark construction
start of its new Block 7 CHP at its energy complex in
Västerås. Led by Niklas Gunnar, Business Area Manager for
Heat at Mälarenergi, participants included local politicians,
the company’s board of directors along with staff, clients
and suppliers.
– this means that we will fulfil our most ambitious goal ever.
Block 6 was an important step in our journey towards the future of society,
and with Block 7 we are now moving all the way to being free from fuels
like coal and oil, said Staffan Jansson, Chairman of the Board.
The new Block 7 plant represents an investment of SEK 1.7 billion (≈
EUR 179 million) and is expected to be operational in three years. With
Block 7, the oldest 50-year parts of the complex will be phased out, deliv-
eries of affordable district heating will be secured and the energy produc-
tion will be free from coal and oil.
– District heating is the absolute best form of heating and Västerås is
one of the best examples in the world. 98 percent of the urban area is
connected to the network. Now, we take the next step toward more sus-
tainable energy production to provide customers with a still safe and af-
fordable heating form, said Niklas Gunnar, Business Area Manager for
Heat at Mälarenergi.
BMH Technology awarded complete fuel handling
As previously reported in Bioenergy International, Sumitomo SHI FW
has been contracted to supply the 152 MWth circulating fluidised bed
(CFB) boiler with auxillary equipment. Finland-headed material handling
system and equipment supplier for the energy and environmental sector,
BMH Technology Oy, was also selected by Mälarenergi AB, for the

delivery and installation of a complete fuel handling facility for the new
boiler unit 7 which will use recycled wood as fuel.
Delivery and assembly of the fuel handling plant will take place in 2019
and the plant will be commissioned in early 2020. The order value is ap-
proximately SEK 120 million (≈ EUR 12.56 million).
– We are very proud to once again be entrusted by Mälarenergi to be-
come their partner for another delivery of a complete fuel management fa-
cility and help to make Västerås free from coal and oil, said Thomas Karls-
son, CEO of BMH Technology AB, the Swedish subsidiary.
BMH’s delivery consists of a receiving pocket for wheel loaders as well
as side-tipping and reversing trucks, fuel preparation with magnetic sepa-
ration of metal contaminants and screening/crushing of oversized materi-
als, a 6 000 m³ fuel storage silo with rotary screw feeder and silo and boiler
conveyor system.
All ancillary equipment and systems, as well as complete electrification
and automation, are also included in the delivery. The capacities are 700
m³ per hour to the silo and 350 m³ per hour to the boiler.
– We have great confidence in BMH as we cooperated with them in the
past and look forward to delivering a fuel management to our new facility
that will help us achieve our most ambitious goal ever. Namely, using only
recycled and renewable fuels, said Niklas Gunnar, Business Area Manager
Heat at Mälarenergi.

Peterson announces new 5050H
stationary electric chipper

P eterson Pacific Corp., an Astec Industries

Inc., company has announced an all-new
stationary, electric Peterson 5050H Delimber
Debarker Disc Chipper designed to produce
high-quality low bark content chips for wood
pulp and pellets, processing whole trees in one
continuous operation.
According to the company, the 5050H is
equipped with a large feed throat and can accept
up to a 23-inch (56 cm) diameter single tree or
multiple smaller stems. It can be configured with
a three or four pocket disc, with several optional
sheave sizes to make precisely the chip needed.
The standard three-pocket disc produces
chips from 5⁄8 to 1¼ inches (16–32 mm) long,
while the optional four-pocket disc produces
chips from ½ to 1 inch (13–25 mm) long. Chip-
ping production rates up to 150 tons (136
tonnes) per hour can be achieved depending on
chip size and wood characteristics.
The heavy-duty 66-inch diameter, 4¾ inch
thick (168 x 12 cm) chipper disc has replaceable
½-inch (13 mm) wear plates and conventional
Babbitt-type knives or Key Knife components
are available.
Peterson Pacific say that the stationary
5050H can be configured from 600 to 1 000 hp
(447–745 kW) at the disc depending on the
needs of the application. An additional 600 hp
(447 kW) electric motor powers the needs of the
hydraulic system.
