At the same time, the process of drying wood chips is much faster compared to other types of biomass. As the ambient temperature rises (at 373=Tg = 393 K), the influence of the type of biomass decreases. As a result of the experiments, a physical model of the process of removing moisture from the bulk layer of biomass was formulated. According to the results of the experiments, it was found that before burning forest biomass in boilers of thermal power plants, it is most advantageous to carry out drying in conditions of relatively moderate (at 333=Tg = 353 K) ambient temperatures. The studies carried out provide grounds for justifying the use of forest combustible material as fuel (or one of the components of the fuel mixture) at thermal power plants currently operating on coal.
