New Technological Breakthrough!
Clean Burning Bio-fuel Powder from Wood and Agricultural Wastes
Innovative Bio-Fuel Technology
The KDS Micronex extreme velocity impact mill transforms a wide range of biomass ( wood and agricultural waste) into fine dry powder with excellent combustion characteristics. When burned in suspension, the fine biomass powder burns with a high intensity controllable flame. Controls on the KDS including an internal classifier can be adjusted to control moisture and particle size of the output material. In many cases, it is possible to replace liquid fuels such as natural gas or oil with a powder burning system.

Wide range of feedstocks
(ie. wood, manures, and coal)
Advantages of Powder Burning to Create Power
Fine, dry biomass powder burns with the characteristics of a liquid fuel. Powder
burners are a well proven technology (>30 yr. history) for combusting fine wood
powder and the KDS turns a variety of biomass (wood, bark, manure, nut shells,
etc.) into bio-fuel powders with the same burning characteristics.
• Increased efficiency and lower costs than conventional biomass power
plants. Less fuel is required when fuel is dry because the energy in wet
fuel is used to vaporize moisture in the fuel instead of to create power.
• Comparable or lower capital cost than conventional biomass power plants
• Dust burners allow for excellent control over boiler operation and helps
optimize plant operations and control emissions
• Dust burners can accept preheated air, increasing power plant efficiency.
• Flexibility of fuels – wide variety of biomass feedstocks possible and ability
to co-combust with coal or liquid fuels.
An Overview of the KDS Micronex™ Grinder-Dryer
The KDS Micronex™ grinder-dryer employs intense kinetic energy to simultaneously pulverize and dewater a wide variety of virgin and recovered materials into fine dry powders. The innovative vertical shaft impact mild design incorporates high rotational spedd and high velocity airflows to achieve superior grinding and drying results without requiring supplemental heat. The energy used for drying can be as low as one-third the energy used by a drum dryer. An internal classifier in the unit controls the output particle size within the range between 100-2000 microns. (Finer particle sizing can be achieved when processing minerals) The production rate ranges between 1-4 tones per hour depending on the material characteristics and moisture removal required.
While many conventional grinding or milling systems require dried feed material, the KDS Micronex™ can process materials containing up to 70% moisture and can reduce it to less than 5% moisture. For some applications, supplemental drying with a flash dryer (heated pneumatic conveyor) can enhance drying efficiency.
