Basics

This Page aims to go over recipes for various pellet fuels
MAINLY:
- Wood Pellets
- Pelletized Biomass (Non-Wood)
- Pelletized RDF
- Charred or Torrefied versions of these
The attention will mainly be on Additives, Beneficial Blending, and Moisture Content recommendations
The Additives mentioned can probably be of use for Paper Logs / Briquettes and Molded Pulp

Lignin
- If not burned at the Paper Mill or Biorefinery for energy, it cam be diverted to uses such as this
- Bio-Thermoplastic which as per this paper The lignin melts fully at 147 °C and flows at 163 °C (Fisher Scientific melting point tester)
Starch
Lignosulfonate
- This wouldn’t be ideal for fuel use however due to Sulfur Dioxide etc emissions
- Could look into if at low blend percentages it wouldn’t cause too much of a problem, and a simple Water Based Wet Scrubber ‘’’WOULD’’’ work, but it’s probably best to simply avoid altogether
Urea-Formaldehyde Condensation Polymer ( UFCP )
- Need to double check if this is Biodegradable , as with Nylon-4 it may be a novel version of an existing plastic family that IS biodegradable
