Balance Energético en Dos Sistemas de Secado de Residuos Ligno-Celulósicos Producidos en Costa Rica.
(Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica., 2012)
Los desechos ligno-celulósicos en la agricultura y en el sector forestal constituyen un alto porcentaje. La industria forestal se caracteriza por presentar una baja eficiencia en la utilización de la materia prima (40-60%), ...
Pellets Evaluation Made from Tropical-Climate Agricultural and Forestry Crops of Costa Rica with a Domestic Stove
(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 ...
Quality of pellets made from agricultural and forestry crops in costa rican tropical climates
(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 ...
Characterisation of pellets made from oil palm residues in Costa Rica
(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 ...
Application of the X-ray densitometry in the evaluation of the quality and mechanical properties of biomass pellets
(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 ...
