Summary
The aim of the project is to develop fuel from agricultural waste from the processing and preparation of selected seeds and food products. These materials have great potential for the production of cheap biopellets, i.e. a domestic renewable energy source. Since pellets from plant biomass have significantly worse emission parameters, the aim of the project will be to optimize the composition of the preparation process and mechanical parameters of the fuel with the aim of minimizing the production of emissions in automatic boilers. In connection with the combustion conditions of these fuels, the properties of fly ash and the possibility of their use as fertilizers with a significant proportion of phosphorus and other minerals will be investigated and the ideal circulation of these elements in nature will be achieved, as well as the achievement of the parameters of the circular economy. During the development of pellets, the development of a pellet sampler will also be carried out.
