Abstract
A biomass solid fuel with reduced self-heating. An apparatus for manufacturing a biomass solid fuel including a carbonization furnace for carbonizing a biomass molded block to obtain a biomass solid fuel; a yield calculator for calculating a yield of the biomass solid fuel and/or a temperature detector for measuring a temperature of the carbonization furnace; and a controller for controlling a heat source of the carbonization furnace; in which the controller controls the heat source based on a correlation between (i) a self-heating property of the biomass solid fuel and (ii) the yield and/or the temperature of the carbonization furnace.
Claims7
An apparatus for manufacturing a biomass solid fuel, comprising:
- a carbonization furnace for carbonizing a biomass molded block to obtain a biomass solid fuel;
- a yield calculator for calculating a yield of the biomass solid fuel and/or a temperature detector for measuring a temperature of the carbonization furnace;
- and
- a controller for controlling a heat source of the carbonization furnace;
- wherein the controller controls the heat source based on a correlation between (i) a self-heating property of the biomass solid fuel and (ii) the yield and/or the temperature of the carbonization furnace, wherein the correlation is determined in advance depending on a raw material of the biomass molded block.
A method of carbonizing a biomass molded block in a carbonization furnace to obtain a biomass solid fuel, wherein a heat source of the carbonization furnace is controlled based on a correlation between (i) a self-heating property of the biomass solid fuel and (ii) a yield of the biomass solid fuel and/or a temperature of the carbonization furnace, wherein
- the correlation is determined in advance depending on a raw material of the biomass molded block.
