Dear John
Maybe I am naive. I wonder why sawdust cannot be used in a fluidized
bed combustor? It seems to me that greenhouse applications require
sufficiently large systems so that one could put something like a
cyclone separator for particle separation. Thus you probably will not
lose out cost wise. What you lose by way of adding the cyclone
separator to your heating furnace you gain by not only not paying
for conversion of sawdust into charcoal fuel but also you avoid the
loss in heating value of your original fuel. And needless to say the
emission of all those foul products in the production of charcoal.
Am I getting it all hopelessly wrong.
An afterthought: a catch might be the transportation cost of sawdust.
In which case briquetting the sawdust is a useful option.
Yours
Prasad
