Calorific value, also known as heating value or energy value, is a measure of the amount of heat released by a fuel when it is burned. It is usually expressed in units of energy per unit of mass, such as joules per kilogram (J/kg) or kilocalories per kilogram (kcal/kg). For example, the calorific value of […]
Calorific value and kcal (or kilocalories) are related but different concepts. Calorific value is a measure of the amount of heat released by a fuel when it is burned and is typically expressed in units of energy per unit of mass, such as joules per kilogram (J/kg) or kilocalories per kilogram (kcal/kg). On the other […]
The sulfur (S) content, nitrogen (N) content, and silicon (Si) content of wood pellets can vary depending on the type of wood used and the production process. However, in general, wood pellets have very low levels of these elements. Sulfur content in wood pellets is typically less than 0.1%, and nitrogen content is typically less […]
Albasia (Albizia falcataria) is a fast-growing tree species that belongs to the family Fabaceae.

Albasia is widely cultivated for its timber, which is used for […]
Wood pellets can be used for grilling or smoking food, but buyers should ensure that the pellets are food grade and not treated with chemicals.
The ash content of wood pellets can affect the performance and maintenance requirements of the heating system. Higher ash content can result in more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
