FromBIOS BIOENERGIESYSTEME GmbH

BIOS has been active in national and international R&D projects in the field of densified biomass fuels (i.e. pellets and briquettes) in cooperation with the Institute for Process and Particle Engineering, Graz University of Technology, since 2000. The main activities of BIOS in this field are: - Analyses and characterisation of pellets - Development of pellet combustion technologies - CFD-aided modelling / development of pellet furnaces - Characterisation and reduction of PM emissions In addition to these R&D activities BIOS is also active in planning of pellet production plants. BIOS has a well established network to the most important pellet producing and consuming countries via the International Energy Agency, Bioenergy Agreement, Task 32, “Biomass Combustion and Co-firing”. In addition, BIOS published in spring 2010 the international pellet handbook “The pellet handbook – the production and thermal utilisation of biomass pellets” (in English language).
