Yilkins Biomass Drying Plants

Yilkins drying plants upgrade biomass and organic residues to produce bio-fuels and others high-value end products. Based upon the self-developed fluidized bed technology, Yilkins has brought the drying and torrefaction processes to the next level creating secure, more sustainable, automatic 24/7 working installations.

​Control of the Drying Process

To extract the most energy of your biomass feedstock and to produce a high quality biomass fuel, it is paramount to balance and control your drying process.

An optimal drying process of biomass ensures a high quality fuel product resulting in maximum energy output of your produced biomass fuels against lowest operational costs. For optimum combustion our drying plants reduce the contamination and water content in the biomass as much as possible. This also enhances shelf time of your product.

Reducing costs

The new Yilkins drying solutions based on our special developed fluidized bed technology ensure a very rapid heat transfer during drying of the raw biomass material resulting in a consistent high quality and a clean product.

Heat required for the drying process is generated with a special Yilkins combustor or if required using  available surplus process heat. The produced heat for the main dryer is reused in the pre drying process.

This leads to a cost reduction up to 50% of external energy consumption.
