Organic Waste Pellet Production Line In Brazil

RICHI MACHINERY

overview

This is a 4.5t/h organic waste pellet production line in Brazil project.

Brazil is one of the world’s largest agricultural and forest resource countries, with an annual output of more than 400 million tons of agricultural and forestry waste, mainly including sugarcane bagasse, corn stalks, soybean stems and leaves, rice husks and other crop by-products. At the same time, a large amount of urban construction waste is also mixed with difficult-to-handle bamboo and wood waste. Improper treatment of these organic wastes will cause serious environmental pollution and waste of resources.

In recent years, Brazil has accelerated its pace in responding to climate change and promoting green energy strategies, and the government has strongly supported low-carbon environmental protection projects. Especially in the fields of industrial boiler heating, rural heating, clean power generation, etc., the demand for clean energy fuels to replace fossil fuels has grown rapidly. As a renewable, carbon-neutral, and energy-efficient clean fuel, biomass pellets are becoming a key path in green energy solutions.

In this context, a renewable resource company in Sao Paulo State invested in the construction of a 4.5t/h, 20,000-ton annual organic waste pellet production line in Brazil, which is specially used to process agricultural and forestry waste, rice husks, and bamboo and wood waste in construction waste. Through high-pressure compression molding technology, it produces low-carbon, renewable clean pellet fuel to serve the local industrial thermal energy system and regional clean energy supply plan.

The organic waste biomass wood pellet production line project has a labor quota of 18 people, about 280 working days per year, 2 shifts per day, 8 hours per shift, and working hours from 8:00-18:00; 18:00-24:00. The factory employees hire people around the project construction site, provide lunch, and no dormitories are provided.

Process design of Brazilian organic waste pellet production line

Production process flow description of this organic waste pellet production line in Brazil project:

(1) Raw materials:

The raw materials are mainly crop straw, wood chips, bamboo chips and construction waste. Generally, wood chips and bamboo chips can be directly granulated to produce biomass pellets without drying. Waste construction materials (wood) and branches need to be crushed and dried according to the incoming materials before granulation production.

(2) Slicing and crushing:

Slice straw, branches, construction waste (wood) and other raw materials with larger diameters, and then refine them into 3-8mm powder before entering the next process. The crusher outlet is connected to the Shaklon dust collector, which mainly uses centrifugal force to separate the crushed materials, deposit them in the dust collector, and then discharge them through the outlet.

After the gas is discharged from the Shaklon dust collector, it is processed by the bag dust collector and then discharged through a 15m exhaust pipe. The collected dust is reused in production.

(3) Drying:

Biomass molding fuel has strict requirements on the moisture content of raw materials. After the raw materials are crushed, they are dried by a rolling dryer. The wood chip dryer uses the heat and hot air from the combustion of the biomass waste hot air furnace to dry the raw materials.

The moisture content of the general raw materials is about 15-45% (the moisture content of raw materials such as straw, branches, and construction waste (wood) is about 30-45%, which requires drying; the moisture content of raw materials such as sawdust and bamboo chips is about 15%, which does not require drying).

The organic waste pellet production line in Brazil project drying procedure is mainly aimed at branches and waste wood with high moisture content. After drying the raw materials, the moisture content of the raw materials is generally about 15%. The dust generated by the drying process is collected and treated by a Shaklon dust collector, and the drying waste gas is discharged through a 15m exhaust pipe after wet dust removal.

(4) Pellet forming:

The dried biomass dust passes through a ring die pellet machine to compress the raw material into cylindrical pellets with a length of 8cm~9cm and a diameter of 8mm~10mm. The dust generated during the pelletizing process is treated by a Shaklon dust collector and a bag dust collector and then discharged through a 15m exhaust pipe. The collected dust is reused in production.

(5) Cooling:

When the raw material is processed into pellets, the temperature of the biomass fuel pellets can reach 50℃~60℃, and is cooled to room temperature by a cooler.

(6) Packaging:

The cooled biomass pellets are bagged and stored by a packaging machine, and are the products.

Plan layout of this project

The land nature of this organic waste pellet production line in Brazil project is industrial land. The entrance and exit of the project plant are set on the north side. From north to south, there are parking spaces, green areas and the existing building 2#, which is the plant office building; the new production workshop is located on the east side of the plant; the existing building 1# is located on the west side of the plant and is intended to be used as a warehouse for powdered raw materials in the plant. The production workshop is divided into slicing and crushing area, drying area, granulation area, packaging area, finished product area, etc. according to process requirements.

Why the Client Started This organic waste pellet production line in Brazil Project

1. Serious backlog of organic waste and great pressure on environmental governance

The client has been engaged in agricultural product processing and urban waste recycling for a long time, accumulating tens of thousands of tons of organic solid waste every year, including rice husks, straw, bamboo chips, etc.

The traditional treatment methods of these wastes are inefficient, occupy a large amount of land, and have high treatment costs. It is urgent to find an environmentally friendly, efficient, and profitable resource treatment solution.

2. The market demand for pellet fuel is strong, and the profit margin is broad.

The demand for alternative fuels in Brazilian industrial enterprises and rural areas is growing. Especially driven by the policy of prohibiting the use of highly polluting coal, biomass pellets are becoming the first choice for many factory boilers and cogeneration projects.

The customer plans to sell pellet fuel to customers in the food processing, sugar making, chemical and other industries, and layout the rural clean heating market. The market sales are sufficient and the profit margin is large.

3. Bamboo and wood waste in urban construction waste cannot be directly landfilled, and there is an urgent need for reuse paths.

During the demolition of urban buildings, a large amount of bamboo and wood mixed materials are generated. These materials are difficult to decompose and cannot be directly landfilled. Customers use special equipment to crush, dry, and press them into pellet fuel to achieve the green transformation of “urban solid waste resourceization”.

4. Respond to national clean energy and carbon reduction policies and obtain policy dividends

The organic waste pellet production line in Brazil project complies with the guidelines of the Brazilian National Energy Policy (PNE) to encourage the development of renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It can enjoy green credit, clean energy subsidies and carbon credit incentives, providing a good policy environment and financing support for the project.

5. Create a corporate circular economy and ESG brand image

Through the implementation of this project, customers can significantly improve the comprehensive utilization rate of waste and build a closed-loop operation system of “waste-fuel-energy supply”. While improving their own profitability, they also enhance their green development and ESG competitiveness, which is conducive to the long-term sustainable development of the brand.
