Oh, and what was the production rate referred to in the last post? ...

KDS product moisture content: 26% (Measured and verified by BBC Engineering)
Therefore product is 384 kg/hr of solids and 135 kg/hr of water and,
Product production rate is 519 kg/hr


For the metrically impaired, 519 kilograms = 1,144.19914 pounds, or about 1/2 ton.

So the KDS tested at Atlantic Packaging can produce 7.5 Mbtu per hour and consumes 76 kw per hour.

3412 BTUs = 1 kWh.
One MBTU = one million BTU's.

7.5 Mbtu = 7,500,000 BTUs = 2198 kWh.

So the KDS can produce enough fuel to provide 29 times the energy it consumes.

And the KDS 6000 proposed by AgES is more effiecient and provides greater throughput.

I just wish they'd build the dang thing already.
