♻️ What Is the Role of Dewatering Technology in Biomass Processing?

Dewatering technology plays a crucial role in the biomass pellet-making process by reducing the initial moisture content of raw biomass materials, making them suitable for efficient drying and pelletizing.

---

Many high-moisture raw materials—such as Napier Grass, sugarcane bagasse, and green coconut husk—contain 65% to 75% moisture, which is too high for direct pellet production. To achieve quality and durability in the final pellets, the moisture must be reduced to:

• Feed Pellets: ~12% moisture required
• Biomass Pellets for Boilers/Combustion: ~8–12% moisture required

---

🌱 Moisture Reduction Stages:

1. Initial Moisture Content (Raw Material):

• Napier Grass – ~70–75%
• Sugarcane Bagasse – ~60–70%
• Green Coconut Tender – ~65–75%

2. Step 1 – Mechanical Dewatering Press:

• Reduces moisture to approx. 35–45%
• Uses a roller-type press to squeeze water
• Saves up to 50% drying energy compared to direct thermal drying

3. Step 2 – Flash Dryer or Rotary Dryer:

• Reduces moisture from 35–45% to below 15%
• Enables efficient pelletizing and longer pellet shelf life
