TRCPA - Dryness is probably a very relative term depending on where you live! :)

I recall reading some years ago that Covanta burns peach pits too as part of their biomass. What ever is handy. It would be interesting to know though what the energy improvement would be for varying parts of the world and the local biomass. The MWe coefficient that was published for the MF-777 has always intrigued me. I don't understand the calculation well enough to run the analysis to see where the BE is for the equipment. Most of the focus has simply been on how it is used to produce a fuel out of the EFB's that would otherwise become a problem. There must be some numbers available that analyze the overall cost to produce EFB pellets/briquettes for fuel; what is the efficiency comparison of EFB fuel compared to coal, oil, or gas for instance. Other than government intervention, why would anyone switch to KDS produced fuels.

As a coworker is fond of saying - is juice worth the squeeze? I think it has been shown to be just the case with the KDS, but it would help the cause to have a deeper analysis of the equipment and juxtapose that against other fuel sources. Having that in hand would make marketing the equipment easy work.

fwiw,
