| dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates the feasibility of converting sawmill wood by-products (biomass) into useful and marketable energy forms such as low pressure steam and electricity. It is based on the principle of energy cascading, utilizing a proven technology commonly referred to as cogeneration. Most sawmills produce large quantities of biomass. The total heat energy requirement at these sawmills could easily be satisfied by a small fraction of the energy contained in the biomass. The unused biomass is usually disposed of. However, it can be converted into electricity to supply the sawmill's requirements, and the surplus electricity can be sold to the electrical utility grid. | en |
