Abstract
Peat is accumulated dead and partly decayed plant matter and has been used for fuel for 2000
years. Since the implementation of pelletizing technology on processing peat fuel, peat fuel pellets
have been an efficient and advantageous fuel form and gain increasing popularity. Pelletzing
technology has made peat fuel pellets as an efficient and advantageous fuel form. Quality peat
pellet mill can make quality peat pellets for power plants, heating system or pellet stoves.
about 3 billion m3 of peat is produced worldwide, and this is about 120 times more than its
consumption. It is the early stage of coal and has been used for fuel for at least 2000 years.
H5: the plant residues are somewhat decomposed, but the organisms can still be discerned; water
is brown and very turbid; small part of the peat can flow between the fingers.
H6: large quantities of the plant residues are decomposed; about 1/3 of the peat can flow between
the fingers, and the remains of plants left in the hand can still be discerned.
H7: the plant residues are highly decomposed and bout 1/2 of the peat can flow between fingers;
the water is clear in color.
H8: the plant residues are highly decomposed and 2/3 of the peat can flow through the fingers;
plant remains in the hand are hydrolyzed root stocks and woody material.
H9: fully decomposed; all parts are fluid and the organisms cannot be discerned.
H10: fully decomposed; the peat is all washed away with water.

Large scale electricity generation stations mainly in Ireland, Finland and Eastern Europe.
Medium scale biomass power plants and co-generation industrial facilities;
Small scale district energy and heating systems in remote communities of Northern Canada;
Since the implementation of pelletizing technology on processing peat fuel, peat pellets have
been an efficient and advantageous fuel form used in pellet stoves for home heating and gain more
and more popularity in North America.
way to use peat pellets is to mix them with another fuel at the reception bay. However, if you want
to achieve the highest efficiency, you can have a separate small feeder silo to dose peat pellets into
the fuel feed system just before the boiler. If peat pellets are used in smaller pellet heating boiler,
the boiler should be designed for using peat pellets due to its higher ash content than wood pellet
and the combustion temperature has to be controlled more exactly than with a wood pellet boiler.
