book two trucks per day (both 35 tons) of waste. This wet material is conveyed by a conveyor belt which feeds the KDS Micronex have. It determined the biomass to reduce powder while the drying without heat. «By grinding the material, water is not evaporated, because heat rises to 50 ° C, but this hunting the moisture content of the wood creating a small fog. The KDS is designed to remove moisture from any organic matter; "it can be manure, wood, pulp and paper sludge," he said. To produce wood powder which feeds steam boiler and forward at a reasonable cost to its customers, the process allows you to reduce the moisture content of 15 to 20%, and that for residues at 10% for powder. Excess wood powder will be transformed into pellets or briquettes, for powering small boilers, like those found in schools. "The biomass of less good quality... fuel oil prices", explains Mr. Côté.
