ʻAʻohe mea āu e hoʻolālā nei: ke kūʻai ʻana i nā pellet lāʻau a i ʻole ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi mea kanu lāʻau pellet, he mea nui iā ʻoe e ʻike i ka maikaʻi o nā pellet lāʻau a me nā mea ʻino. Mahalo i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻoihana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā 1 lāʻau pellet ma ka mākeke. ʻO ka standardization wood pellet kahi kikoʻī i hui pū ʻia o nā huahana i ka ʻoihana. Ma muli o ka paʻi ʻia ʻana o nā kūlana Austrian (ÖNORM M1735) i ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻomohala kekahi mau lālā o ka EU i kā lākou ponoʻī ʻāina ponoʻī, e like me DINplus (Kelemānia), NF (France), Pellet Gold (Italia), etc. E like me ka mākeke pellet nui loa. i ka honua, ua hoʻokumu ka European Commission i nā kūlana EU (CEN TC335- EN 14961) no ka wahie paʻa, e pili ana i nā kūlana Austrian (ÖNORM M1735).

Ma muli o nā kūlana a pau o ka lāʻau pellets, hāʻawi mākou iā ʻoe i kahi kikoʻī kiʻekiʻe e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike i nā pellet lāʻau kiʻekiʻe.

Ua hōʻuluʻulu mākou i nā mea koʻikoʻi a pau no ʻoe e nānā wikiwiki i ka maikaʻi o ka pellet lāʻau. E hahai wale i kēia mau ʻanuʻu:

ʻO nā anawaena lāʻau maʻamau he 6mm a me 8mm. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke anawaena, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana pelletizing. Akā inā aia ke anawaena ma lalo o 5mm, hoʻonui ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu a hoʻemi ʻia ka hiki. Eia nō hoʻi, ma muli o ke ʻano o nā pellets, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka nui o ka huahana, mālama ia i ka wahi mālama. Eia kekahi, maʻalahi ka lawe ʻana, no laila he haʻahaʻa ke kumukūʻai. Ma waena o nā kūlana āpau i loaʻa, aia kahi cognition maʻamau e pili ana i nā hewa anawaena, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o 1mm.

E like me nā kūlana o ka lāʻau pellets āpau, ua like ka mea e pono ai ka moisture content, ʻaʻole iʻoi aku ma mua o 10%. ʻO ka ʻenehana, i ka wā o ke kaʻina hana, ʻo ka ʻike wai ka mea hoʻopaʻa a me ka lubricant. Inā haʻahaʻa loa ka ʻike o ka wai, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻonui piha ʻia nā pellets, no laila hiki ke deformation nā pellets, a ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa ma mua o nā pellets maʻamau. Akā, inā kiʻekiʻe loa ka maʻamau, e hoʻonui ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu, a e hoʻonui ʻia ka leo, ma ke ʻano maʻamau, e loaʻa i nā pellets kahi ʻili ʻōpala, a i nā hihia koʻikoʻi, hiki ke hū ʻia nā mea maka mai ka make o ka wili pellet. Hōʻike nā kūlana pellet āpau ʻo ka wai maikaʻi loa no nā pellets lāʻau he 8%, a ʻo ka wai maikaʻi loa no nā pellet biomass palaoa ʻo 12%. Hiki ke ana ʻia ka mākū o ka pellet e ka mika moisture.

ʻO ka mānoanoa o nā pellets lāʻau kekahi o nā kikoʻī koʻikoʻi, maʻamau hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i ka nui nui a me nā pellets density. ʻO ka puʻupuʻu nui kahi waiwai o nā mea pauka, e like me nā pellets, ʻo ke kumu ka nui o nā mea pauka i puʻunaue ʻia e ka nui a lākou e pono ai. ʻAʻole ka hopena o ka puʻupuʻu puʻupuʻu wale nō i ka hana puhi ahi akā i ke kumukūʻai o ka halihali a me ke kumukūʻai mālama.

ʻO ka mea hou aʻe, ʻo ka nui o nā pellets he mea hoʻoikaika ia no kāna ʻano nui a me ka hana puhi ahi, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kona kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka manawa puhi.

ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka mechanical kekahi mea nui. I ka wā o ka lawe ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana, ua maʻalahi ka pōʻino o nā pellets me kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, e hoʻonui ia i ka pauka. Ma waena o nā ʻano pellet biomass āpau, mālama nā pellets lāʻau i ka lōʻihi mechanical kiʻekiʻe, ma kahi o 97.8%. E hoʻohālikelike i nā kūlana biomass pellets āpau, ʻaʻole emi ka lōʻihi o ka mechanical ma mua o 95%.

No nā mea hoʻohana hope loa, ʻo ka pilikia nui loa ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana, ʻo ia ka Nox, Sox, HCl, PCCD (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins) a me ka lehu lele. ʻO ka Nitrogen a me ka Sulfur i loko o nā pellets i hoʻoholo i ka nui o Nox a me Sox. Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻoholo ʻia ka pilikia corrosion e ka ʻike chlorine. I mea e loaʻa ai ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻopau ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā pellets maʻamau i ka ʻike haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa.
