Forssjo Bruk AB, our customer manages an integrated sawmill and sawdust pellet plant on the Ericsberg Estates near Katrineholm in central Sweden. The sawmill annually provides numerous wood wastes like sawdust, wood chips and all kinds of wood wastes. This is a good resource for the sawdust pellet plant, which placed in service in 1995 has a capacity of about 45,000 metric tons per year. Pellets are sold in bulk for use in district heating plants and bagged for small-scale residential heating systems.

A 15-MW heating system fueled mainly with bark and wet wood chips provides heat for the drying kiln and for drying the sawdust prior to pelleting. Sawdust from the on-site milling operation, as well as other sources, are used. We will share some the pictures with you about this sawdust pellet plant in Sweden.
