This book delves into the scientific process of biomass compaction, with a specific focus on the parameters of pressing chambers and their profound impact on the quality of extrusions derived from biomass materials. Through extensive theoretical analysis, it yields valuable insights into the field of wood biomass pressing technology. The coverage extends to the proposal and evaluation of experimental research aimed at defining various pressing chamber parameters and their consequences on the quality of extrusions. Additionally, the work explores the establishment of dependencies between chamber parameters and the mechanical indicators of quality, derived from the extrusion process. Furthermore, the book details the design and manufacture of an experimental pressing stand, enabling the exploration of the effects of technological, material, and construction parameters on the resulting quality of extrusions. The desired pressing method, length, and conicity of the pressing chamber are experimentally determined through the uniaxial compaction of wood biomass, with results and dependencies visually expressed through graphs.

This comprehensive book is of immense value to researchers and engineers engaged in the production of solid biofuels from biomass, densification processes such as briquetting and pelletting, as well as manufacturers of compacting machines. It also serves as a valuable resource for technology plant operators and individuals involved in the biomass treatment sector. By shedding light on the intricate relationship between pressing chamber parameters and extrusion quality, Biomass Compaction: The Effects of Pressing Chamber Design Parameters on Extrusion Quality contributes to the advancement of biomass utilization technologies and promotes sustainable energy solutions.
