	Drainage	Domestic sewage is discharged into a septic tank and used for farmland fertilization after maturation.
Environmental Protection Engineering	Waste gas treatment	Raw materials and finished products are stored in separate areas in a fully enclosed production plant with a light steel structure.
		The crusher, pulverizer and pellet machine are fully enclosed. A closed dust hood is installed at the crusher discharge port, pulverizer discharge port and pellet machine feed port, and at one belt transfer point. After the particles are collected, they are treated by the cyclone + bag dust collector treatment facilities and then discharged through the 18m high discharge port.
	Wastewater treatment	The project does not generate production wastewater. Domestic sewage is discharged into the septic tank and used for fertilization of surrounding farmland after maturation.
	Solid waste treatment	① Dust removal ash is reused as raw material; domestic garbage is collected and collected into the existing closed garbage bins in the factory, and regularly transported to the designated location of the sanitation department for treatment. ③A 6m2 hazardous waste temporary storage room is set up in the southwest corner of the production workshop. Waste mineral oil and waste oil barrels are temporarily stored in the factory and then entrusted to qualified units for transportation and disposal.
	Noise	Use environmentally friendly low-noise equipment; adopt noise reduction measures such as vibration reduction and sound insulation; adopt noise reduction measures such as speed limit and no honking for transport vehicles; strengthen greening of the factory area and surrounding areas.
	Environmental risks	The hazardous waste temporary storage room is equipped with leakage diversion and liquid collection pools.

Public works and auxiliary facilities

The water supply of the project comes from the municipal tap water network. The water used during the biomass pellet production line project operation period is mainly for the living water of employees.

Living water: The straw pellets granules line in Ecuador project has a labor quota of 40 people. There is no canteen or dormitory in the factory area. The living water consumption is calculated at 50L/person/shift, so the living water consumption is 2m3/d (600m3/a).

This project adopts “rainwater and sewage separation, clean sewage separation”, and rainwater is collected by the rainwater pipe network and discharged into the nearby river.

No production wastewater is generated and discharged during the project operation period; domestic sewage is treated in a septic tank and used as fertilizer for surrounding farmland after treatment, and is not discharged.

The domestic sewage discharge coefficient is calculated as 80%, and the domestic sewage discharge is 1.6m3/d (480m3/a).

The power supply of the project is drawn from the municipal power line. After being transformed by the factory transformer, it can meet the electricity demand of the enterprise, with an annual power consumption of 200,000 kWh.

The raw materials and products of this straw pellet plant project are transported by car when entering and leaving the factory, and the raw materials and products are placed in the production workshop.

Straw wood biomass pellets Production process design

The main raw materials for the biomass pellets produced by this straw pellets granules line in Ecuador project are straw, rice husks, sawdust, wood blocks, branches, etc. The raw materials are pressed into a solid biomass pellet that can be directly burned by passing through crushers, grinders, pelletizers and other equipment in sequence.

① Chipping & Cutting

After entering the factory, the raw materials are temporarily piled up in the raw material yard, and the raw materials are grabbed by a grabber and put on the conveyor belt of the crusher. Crushing dust is generated when the raw materials are crushed.

② Crushing

The crushed raw materials are shoveled to the feeding port by a forklift. The crushed materials in the feeding port are transported to the closed crusher through a closed conveyor belt. Crushing dust is generated when the crusher is crushed, and the crusher collects dust in a closed manner (the feed port of the crusher and the belt for conveying the crushed materials are fully closed).

③ Granulation

The material after crushing by the pulverizer is transported to the biomass straw pellet machine through a closed belt. The material generates heat in the pelletizer through friction between the machine and the biomass raw materials and between the biomass raw materials.

The material temperature can reach about 60~70℃, which softens the lignin and squeezes it out of the die hole to obtain solid biomass pellets with a diameter of 1cm and a length of 5~6cm. In this process, the pelletizer will produce some dust during the pelletizing process, and the dust generated by the pelletizer is collected in a closed manner. There are 4 biomass pelletizers in the project.

④ Finished product storage

The molded biomass pellets made by the pelletizer are then transported to the cooling box through a sealed conveyor belt for natural cooling. The cooled products are transported to the packaging area through a conveyor belt, and the packaged finished products are temporarily stacked in the workshop.

General plan layout of Straw Pellets Granules Line In Ecuador

The project covers an area of 11,200 square meters and a total construction area of 2,000 square meters.

The project builds a factory building, and the layout of each area in the workshop is arranged according to the production process, which reduces the transportation of materials during the production process, not only saving costs and time, but also making the layout of the workshop compact, greatly promoting the production efficiency of the project. The general layout meets the production and fire protection needs, so the general layout of the project is reasonable.

What is the prospect of building straw pellets granules line in Ecuador?

The prospects of Ecuadorian biomass energy can be considered from the following aspects:

• Policy support: The Ecuadorian government has realized the disadvantages of a single energy structure and is actively promoting energy diversification. The government has formulated a series of policies to encourage enterprises and households to invest in renewable energy facilities, including biomass energy. These policies have lowered the initial investment threshold for renewable energy and promoted energy transformation.
• Technological progress: Although Ecuador may not be as advanced as Iceland and other countries in biomass energy technology, with the continuous advancement of technology, the utilization efficiency and application scope of biomass energy will expand. The government and the private sector are increasing investment in the research and development of biomass energy technology to improve its economy and reliability.
• ‌Market demand‌: As the global demand for renewable energy increases, biomass energy, as a clean and renewable form of energy, has broad market prospects. The Ecuadorian government and private sector are actively promoting the application of biomass energy to meet the growing market demand‌.
