Wood chips are the primary sources of raw materials for numerous industries, including
pelleting mills, biorefineries, pulp-and-paper industries, and biomass-based power …

Storage is the critical operation within the biomass supply chain to reduce feedstock supply
risks and to manage smooth year-around operations of a biorefinery or a bioenergy plant …

Mobile wood chippers represent a mature technology now available in a wide range of sizes
and configurations. Different types exist, but the most widespread are disc and drum …

Because of the greater demand in using woody biomass for bioenergy and bio-based
products, feedstock supply chain optimization becomes more important to decrease supply …

Dry matter losses (DML) and fuel quality changes occurring in storage piles are important
parameters for the management of any biomass supply system. This study evaluates the …

Specific grinding energy and particle size distribution of grinds are usually used to assess
the efficiency of grinding equipment and material grindability. The objective of this study was …

The high amount of energy consumed during the processing of biomass inflates the
production cost of bio-fuels and bio-products. This study was therefore carried out to …

Leachate generation from open stockpiles of recycled woodchip materials is potentially
harmful to aquatic ecosystems. There is growing interest in using numerical models to …

Abstract Information on the amount of water held by woodchips in the field is needed to
assess environmental risks when they are kept in stockpiles or for inferring their efficiency as …

Timber residues, a timber byproduct, are a low-cost source of biomass that avoids the
environmental and food market consequences of other energy feedstocks. We studied the …
