Biogas – Sustainable energy
Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from organic waste materials such as wood pellets and wood chips. To ensure the quality of these materials is maintained, it is crucial to monitor and regulate both temperature and humidity.
Combined heat and power plants burn wood pellets and wood chips to generate heat and electricity. Biomass has become a central part of the global effort to promote renewable energy. Wood pellets and wood chips are increasingly used as a sustainable energy source for heating and energy production. They are an attractive alternative to fossil fuels, as they are CO2-neutral and utilize residues from forestry and the wood industry.
Therefore, proper storage and management of temperature and humidity in wood pellets and wood chips are necessary to ensure that quality is maintained and the product does not deteriorate.
Challenges of storing wood pellets and wood chips
One of the biggest challenges in storing wood pellets and wood chips is maintaining optimal temperature and humidity. These materials are sensitive to moisture and can quickly deteriorate if not stored properly. High humidity can lead to mold formation and a decrease in calorific value, reducing their effectiveness as fuel. Uncontrolled temperature fluctuations can also increase the risk of spontaneous combustion or damage to the material.
How StackView helps monitor waste materials like wood pellets and wood chips:
With StackView, you can monitor and optimize the storage of your wood pellets and wood chips. StackView measures temperature and humidity, providing accurate and continuous monitoring of your materials.
Precise temperature and humidity measurement: StackView's wireless gauge automatically measure the temperature and humidity in wood pellets and wood chips. This data is crucial for maintaining the right balance and preventing quality deterioration.
Automatic documentation: All measurements are automatically documented on StackView's website, complete with timestamps and GPS locations. This makes it easy to monitor conditions in real-time and respond swiftly
Alarm functions: StackView can be configured to send alerts for undesirable temperature or humidity changes. This allows you to quickly respond to potential issues, such as rising humidity levels that could lead to mold growth.
Data sharing and analysis: StackView makes it easy to share data with colleagues, customers, or other stakeholders. This enables in-depth analysis and optimization of storage conditions over time, ensuring the best quality of wood pellets and wood chips.
