Hurricane Cyclones To Reduce Emissions Of Dryer Cyclones In Glowood Pellet Plant (71,839 m3 /h at 87ºC)
ACS designed and supplied a Hurricane Cyclone System to reduce PM emissions of existing dryer cyclones at Glowood Pellet Plant
The plant occupies a total area of 3.8 hectares and a total investment amounting to 10 M€. Production (100.000 ton/y) is 100% for export, as Portugal consumes under 10% of what it manufactures on a global basis (approximately 1M ton/y in 2012). A warm climate may until now have been the main reason for the inexistence of pellet consuming district heating facilities in Portugal. Unlike most pellet plants which are located above the Tejo River, Glowood is located in the South, near the Port of Sines. It uses as raw material mainly sawdust from sawmills and unprocessed eucaliptus and pine wood .
