Variability in the properties of biomass?in terms of moisture, particle size distribution, and low-density?results in storage, transportation, handling, and feeding issues. Currently, biorefineries face serious particle bridging issues, uneven discharge, equipment-jamming, and transportation problems. These issues must be solved to ensure smooth operation. Mechanical preprocessing technologies, such as size reduction, densification, and moisture management using drying and dewatering, can help to overcome these issues. Many densification systems exist that will assist in converting low-density biomass to a high-density commodity type feedstock. In six chapters, the author discusses the various biomass feedstocks for biofuels production, the impact of densification process variables?such as temperature, pressure, moisture, etc.?on biomass particle agglomeration, the quality of the densified products, and the overall energy consumption of the process, as well as the various compression models for powders that can be used for biomass particles, agglomeration behavior, and optimization of the densification process using statistical and evolutionary methods. The book also discusses the novel preprocessing and dewatering technologies that can help to reduce pellet production costs. Finally, the book discusses the suitability of these densified products for biochemical and thermochemical conversion pathways, as well as the various international standards (CEN and ISO) they must adhere to. The author has worked on biomass preprocessing at Idaho National Laboratory for the last ten years. He is the principal investigator for the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office-funded ?Biomass Size Reduction and Densification? project. He has developed preprocessing technologies to reduce costs and improve quality. He has published many papers and books focused on biomass preprocessing and pretreatments. Biomass process engineers and biorefinery managers can benefit from this book. Students in chemical, mechanical, biological, and environmental engineering can also use the book to understand preprocessing technologies, which greatly assist in improving biomass critical material attributes. The book can also assist policymakers and energy systems planners with the ability to understand biomass properties limitations. 606 $aBiomassa$2thub 606 $aBiomass chemicals 606 $aBiomass energy 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aEnergia de la biomassa$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2tgfc 615 7$aBiomassa 615 0$aBiomass chemicals. 615 0$aBiomass energy. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 7$aEnergia de la biomassa 676 $a662.88 700 $aTumuluru$b Jaya Shankar$0945674 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437630303321 996 $aBiomass densification$92135486 997 $aUNINA
