Monitoring feedstock losses over five months storage of olive tree pruning hog fuel in piles. Comparison of covered vs. uncovered storage

Forest chip drying in self-heating piles during storage as affected by temperature and relative humidity conditions

“…The rationale of the simulation model was to identify how the changing environmental conditions and pile characteristics, such as density, porosity, and pile dimensions affect the chip drying, facilitating improvement of the storage protocols. This versatile approach provides new insights into biomass storage, because previous studies have generally concentrated separately either on field experiments [9,12,23,27,50,51], laboratory works [37,38,52] or simulations [29,53].…”
