Application of the X-ray densitometry in the evaluation of the quality and mechanical properties of biomass pellets
Tomazello-Filho, Mario; Valaert, Jorre; Tenorio-Monge, Carolina; Moya-Roque, Róger (Elsevier, 2015-04)The use of the X-ray technique and the X-ray densitometry to determine pellet particle distribution and to understand the biomass compaction and its effects in pellet properties has been limited. The present work evaluates ... -
Characterisation of pellets made from oil palm residues in Costa Rica
Valaert, Jorre; Tenorio-Monge, Carolina; Moya-Roque, Róger (Journal of Oil Palm Research, 2016)Presently, there are around 67 000 ha of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) in Costa Rica. The resulting post-harvest residues are not being used currently. These residues can be employed for generation of heat by means of ... -
Pellets Evaluation Made from Tropical-Climate Agricultural and Forestry Crops of Costa Rica with a Domestic Stove
Rodríguez-Zúñiga, Ana; Valdez, Juan; Valaert, Jorre; Moya-Roque, Róger; Tenorio-Monge, Carolina (Springer Netherlands, 2015-12)The present study shows the results of the evaluation of the pellets made from two forestry crops and eight agricultural crops in Costa Rica by employing a 50 kW domestic stove. Methods: The following variables were ... -
Production and quality analysis of pellets manufactured from five potential energy crops in the Northern Region of Costa Rica
Aragón-Garita, Stephanie; Moya-Roque, Róger; Bond, Brian; Valaert, Jorre; Tomazello-Filho, Mario (Biomass and Bioenergy, 2016)Modifications to a pellet manufacturing process must be made based on the characteristics of raw material used. The purpose of this work was to determine the alternations required to a wood pellet manufacturing process ... -
Quality of pellets made from agricultural and forestry crops in costa rican tropical climates
Valaert, Jorre; Tenorio-Monge, Carolina; Moya-Roque, Róger; Tomazello-Filho, Mario (North Carolina State University, 2015)Pellets may be produced with different types of agriculture or forestry crops in Costa Rica. This work evaluated the energy, physical, and mechanical properties of pellets fabricated from 12 types of agricultural and ...
