Wood fibre Biomass - Mixed Biomass
Our mixed biomass is produced by combining our ground wood fuel and our whole tree chips. Created to provide the best of both worlds, the result is a fuel that possesses the economical traits of a ground wood fuel and the superior handling characteristics of a whole tree chip.
Production
Cogent Fibre’s whole tree chips start as whole, base-cut trees. The trees, limbs, and needles are then run through a chipper with the bark intact. The machinery used is identical to that used in our premium paper quality chips, only the feedstock and process are modified specifically for whole chips. The result is a high quality whole tree chip, made of both chips and bark.
Cogent Fibre’s ground wood fuel is first fed as raw material through a grinding machine, then a sizing screen. Depending on customer’s requirements, the raw material may be ground a number of times to achieve a perfectly sized final product.
Finally, mixed biomass is produced by combining our whole tree chips with our ground wood fuel in the desired ratio.
Specification
The specification of mixed biomass is generally dictated by the customer. At Cogent Fibre, we have built a reputation on being able to meet specification with remarkable flexibility and consistency. |
