Although many substances such as agricultural crops and waste materials can be burned for fuel, the most common biomass used for fuel is wood and wood processing wastes.

Uzelac dryers dry wood chips, sawdust, and wood shavings to be used in the timber industry for such things as OSB, particleboard and wood pellets. In some installations, some of the dried wood from the Uzelac rotary dryer is brought back to a solid fuel burner and burned to heat the rotary dryer to dry additional wood waste, eliminating the need for a natural gas line for the rotary dryer.

Examples of Biomass we’ve dried in the past include
