Biomass Storage and Handling Solutions for Energy Systems

Efficient and uninterrupted operation of biomass energy systems begins with proper fuel storage and reliable fuel handling. DEMA Thermatech Systems designs and delivers customized biomass storage and handling systems tailored to the physical characteristics of different biomass fuels.

Each project is engineered based on fuel parameters such as moisture content, particle size, flowability, and bulk density. This approach prevents common operational issues such as fuel bridging, feeding interruptions, and efficiency losses.

Importance of Biomass Fuel Storage

Biomass fuels vary significantly in terms of moisture content, particle size, density, and flow characteristics. Therefore, storage systems must be specifically designed according to the fuel properties.

Improper storage can lead to:

• Fuel bridging
• Feeding problems
• System efficiency losses

Well-designed storage solutions ensure that fuel is delivered to the boiler system continuously, safely, and efficiently.

Our Biomass Storage Solutions

Depending on the biomass fuel type and plant layout, we provide:

• Daily and weekly fuel silos
• Open or enclosed bunker systems
• Mobile fuel storage solutions
• Large-capacity storage areas

All storage systems are custom-engineered according to plant requirements and fuel characteristics.

Fuel Handling and Feeding Systems

To ensure controlled and continuous fuel transfer from storage to the boiler system, we design and implement:

• Chain conveyor systems
• Belt conveyor systems
• Hydraulic or mechanical feeding systems

The selection of the handling system is determined based on fuel properties and plant operating conditions.

Our Engineering Approach

At DEMA Thermatech Systems, storage and handling are not treated as standalone systems. Instead, they are engineered as part of an integrated fuel–process–operation solution.

For each project, we design systems based on:

• Fuel characteristics
• Plant layout
• Daily fuel consumption

This approach ensures reliable, efficient, and uninterrupted operation of biomass energy systems.
