Description
DIN straw wood pellets are compressed biomass fuels made from straw and/or wood, conforming to the standards of DIN. Now, let me explain in detail:
### **What is a DIN standard?
DIN means **Deutsches Institut für Normung**, or, in English, the German Institute for Standardization. Linked to biomass, such as pellets, it ensures high quality, consistency, and efficiency in performance. For pellets, the certification that best applies is the **DINplus**, which proves that the pellets have complied with the strict European norms on heating fuel.
### **Characteristics of DIN-certified pellets:**
1. **High Energy Efficiency**: The calorific value of these pellets is high; therefore, their energy output when burnt is very efficient.
2. **Low Moisture Content**: Usually less than 10%, which improves combustion efficiency.
3. **Low Ash Content**: Usually less than 1%, leading to less residue and maintenance.
4. **Uniform Size and Density**: Ensures consistent combustion and compatibility with pellet stoves or boilers.
5. **Sustainability**: Many times made from agricultural or forestry by-products such as straw or wood, making them eco-friendly.
### **Straw vs. Wood Pellets:**
– **Straw Pellets**:
Made from compressed agricultural residues like wheat, barley, or rye straw.
Higher ash content than wood but efficient for heating nevertheless.
Application – generally used for industrial boilers or as animal bedding.
– **Wood Pellets**:
Manufactured from sawdust, wood chips, or other wood by-products.
Lower ash content, with higher energy density compared to straw pellets.
– Generally used as fuel in domestic heating systems.
### **DIN Straw Wood Pellets Applications:**
– **Heating**: Suitable for use in pellet stoves, boilers, or other industrial heating systems.
– **Animal Bedding:** Soft and absorbent; dust-free, hence usable by livestock.
– **Environmental Application: Sometimes applied as absorbents during spill cleanups or in landscaping.
