Currently, the most widely used solid fuel is eco peas and pellets. It is worth knowing what the differences between these two fuel materials are, what advantages they have and which one to choose?
What is eco-pea?
Ecopowder is a type of solid fuel that is produced from properly prepared and processed hard coal. Its production involves the use of specialized technologies that allow the removal of unnecessary impurities and fractions, and to obtain a pellet that will have a high calorific value and will be much more environmentally friendly than coal in its original form. Ecopowder is widely used in heating residential and industrial buildings. It is not only an ecological fuel, but also more economical than hard coal. Ecopowder also has better combustion parameters, which positively affects the efficiency and ecology of the heating process.
What is a pellet?
A pellet is a type of solid biomass that is produced from plant raw materials such as wood, straw, sawdust, plant stalks or plant residues. Pellets are small cylindrical pellets that are compressed under high pressure without the use of chemical additives. This fuel is produced using a specialized machine, which guarantees that the final product will have the right properties. The production process involves crushing plant raw materials and then pressing them under high pressure and high temperature. The resulting pellets are later dried and packaged. Wood pellets without additives should be burned in our boilers.
Advantages of eco-pea and pellets
Ecofoam and pellets are two different types of solid fuels that have advantages such as:
Ecogas.
- has better combustion parameters than hard coal, which has a positive effect on the efficiency and ecology of the heating process,
- is more economical than hard coal,
- is available in different fractions of granulation, which allows you to adjust it to individual needs,
- has lower levels of pollutants and dust than hard coal.
Pellet.
- is produced from materials classified as renewable, making it an environmentally friendly fuel,
- allows high combustion efficiency with low fuel consumption,
- is easy to transport and store, as it is compressed in the form of small pellets,
- is a stable and calorific fuel, its quality is easy to control and ensures consistent heat output.
Both of these solid fuels are more environmentally friendly than hard coal, so they are an excellent alternative to this type of fuel and can be used for heating residential and industrial buildings.
What is better to choose - a pellet stove or an eco-pea stove?
The choice between a pellet stove and an eco-pellet stove depends on the individual needs and preferences of the user, as well as the availability and price of fuels and local conditions (such as the availability of fuel storage space. Both types of fuel have their advantages and disadvantages, and differ in terms of cost, efficiency and requirements for operation and maintenance of heating equipment. Before making a decision, therefore, it is worthwhile to study carefully what both offer and choose the boiler that works best for you. You can also consult your choice with those involved in the sale and installation of this type of equipment for advice on the subject, which can often dispel any doubts and avoid a wrong purchase.
