replacement to conventional fossil fuels (like coal, lignite) and widely utilized in boilers, furnaces and kilns used across various industries. |
| |
Are there any chemicals or gluing agents in the product? |
No. Pellexo is formed through high temperature and pressure as the raw material is extruded through a die. The natural lignin found in the wood itself acts as a binder when exposed to high temperature and pressure. |
| |
What is the bulk density of the fuel? |
Pellexo's bulk density is 650 kg/m3. |
| |
Are there any impurities in the fuel? |
No. The biomass raw material passes through various pretreatment process like screening, washing, drying, etc. to remove unwanted impurities in the fuel. |

Pellexo – Technical Questions |
|
In what kind of systems can Pellexo be used? |
Pellexo can be used in various different heating systems like |
• |
FBC (Fluidized Bed Combustion) Boilers |
• |
Pulverized boilers (Cofiring) |
• |
Traveling grate Boilers |
• |
Thermic fluid heaters |
| • |
Small community heating boilers |
| • |
Domestic pellet stoves |
|
| |
What is the ash fusion temperature of Pellexo? |
The ash fusion temperature of Pellexo is > 1200 °C |
| |
Will switching to Pellexo require any change in my system? |
No change is required to use Pellexo in systems already using coal / wood pellets / wood chips.
There are some modifications required in the burner system for heating oil and natural gas based systems, which can be done easily with low capital expenditure. |
| |
Can Pellexo be used with different types of feed in systems? |
Pellexo is compatible with all kind of feeding systems like overbed, inbed and underbed systems. |
| |
Is it possible to switch the fuel without stoppage? |
Yes. The fuel can be switched directly in the running system. It is not required to take a breakdown to switch the fuel. |
| |
What are the chances of fouling and corrosion in the boiler? |
The chances for fouling and corrosion are negligible due to lesser ash content in the fuel. |
| |
| |
Sustainability |
|
What are the sources of raw material for Pellexo? |
Pellexo is made from leftover farm and forest residues and saw mill waste. All these sources are sustainable and renewable form of bioenergy. This is a perfect form of wealth out of waste concept. |
| |
How is Pellexo carbon neutral? |
Pellexo is made from leftover farm and forest residues. These sources have renewal period of 6 months to 1 year and therefore they form a closed carbon cycle with the atmosphere. As the biomass source grows, CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere and when it is burned the same amount of CO2 is released, making Pellexo ‘carbon neutral’.
