Occupational risk
“We had to change their mindset for wood pellet dust. We were challenged with a material that would act like 8% gunpowder.”
Pilot scale work…..

“optimal utilization”
“effective use of renewable raw materials”
“maximize the creation of value”
”all the components of the raw material will be used tocreate added value”
”Refining separates components from different mixtures to give a pure product”
”extracting chemicals and separate, for example, heavy metals and other substances from biomass”
”The bulk of the chemicals is not in the wood, but in other places. Therefore, it is important to find ways to sort the forest raw material”
