Flow Behaviour of Pellets: Design of a Mass Flow Hopper for Biomass and Waste Pellets in an HTW Gasification Plant

Utilizing waste and wood pellets in gasification reactors is a promising solution to the waste and energy problem. However, plant shutdowns often occur due to failures in the feedstock handling systems. Unfortunately, research focusing on the flow properties and the impact of mechanical degradation on the flow properties of pellets is lacking....
