Coal, petroleum coke, biomass and wood pellets

Pellets, biofuel, storage and transportation difficulties

Depending on the quality class of such solid biofuel, it is subject to various requirements and specifications described in the first two parts of the large standard ISO 17225:2021. Before making transactions, we recommend that you check the contract with the standard in terms of specifications and adhere to the standard in terms of quality indicators, this way you will reduce your commercial risks.
Storage and logistics of wood pellets poses a number of difficulties:
  • Self-heating of granular biofuel, which often leads to the destruction of granules, the release of resins and damage to the cargo. To prevent such incidents, the ISO 20049-1:2020 standard was developed, which makes it possible to determine in advance the tendency to such a process.
  • The accumulation of moisture during storage and transportation, for which reason we recommend taking arbitration samples at the factory, during loading onto the ship and at the unloading port. Monitoring the tightness of holds also helps to remove a significant part of these risks.

Coking coals are a difficult cargo to control in terms of quality

Coking coals, unlike grades only suitable for generating electricity, have a number of properties that complicate trade and logistics:
  • They have different caking properties - one day this coal will have to be unloaded and at the time of unloading it must retain its faction.
  • Different thermal expansion rates affect your customer's process.
  • Other rheological properties can also become a problem in the absence of quality inspection and laboratory testing.
