Innovative Biomass Storage Solutions
Biomass storage is a critical element in the feedstock logistics supply chain. A cost-effective biomass storage solution allows for regular material storage and helps develop a sustainable infrastructure capable of supplying large quantities of biomass pellets to processing plants. However, biomass pellets are considered a combustible fuel, and large-scale storage needs to be handled carefully.

Characteristics of Quality Biomass Pellets
These four characteristics determine the quality of biomass pellets that you produce:
MOISTURE CONTENT
A low moisture level is preferable because high-moisture biomass burns less readily and provides less useful heat. However, very dry fuel leads to dust problems that damage equipment and increase the risk of explosion. Having a biomass storage facility that maintains moisture ensures your biomass retains the proper water content.
HEAT VALUE
One of the most important characteristics of biomass is its heat value; this indicates the total amount of energy that’s available in the fuel and is a function of the fuel’s chemical composition. Using a biomass storage solution that regulates temperature helps minimize the risk of heat loss.
CONTAMINATION
All biomass raw materials are contaminated with dirt, rock, grit, and other natural elements, but it’s critical to minimize the number of contaminants before combusting the fuel. Using a quality biomass storage structure helps prevent unwanted materials from polluting your pellets.
FUEL DENSITY
The density of biomass particles plays an important role. This affects the burning characteristics of the fuel and dictates what handling equipment you’ll use. A durable storage facility helps maintain a consistent bulk density of the pellets.
Maximize Biomass Storage with Edge’s Buildings
Edge provides temporary and permanent buildings for your biomass storage needs. We build our buildings with a thin-shell structure that evenly distributes stress throughout the frame. This innovative design makes these buildings extremely durable while using minimal building materials. Other benefits of our buildings include:
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Edge’s team of experienced contractors provides a detailed site analysis that determines the best type of fabric building for your needs. Our structures can be built on virtually any surface and have multiple foundation options.
CUSTOMIZABLE
Edge’s structures are available in sizes up to 200 meters wide and can be customized to suit your industrial needs.
COST EFFICIENT
The buildings offered by Edge feature a concave interior that allows for natural airflow. This means that hot and cool air flows evenly throughout the structure, which regulates temperature and limits energy expenses.
