Biomass Energy Foundation Water Content of BiomassBecome aMemberof theBiomassEnergyFoundationMCWB = 100 X (Initial Wt - Dry weight)/(Initial Weight)However, since we are interested in the dry use ofbiomass and don't want to pay for the water, biomassmoisture content is sometimes reported on a "dry" basis(MCDB) whereMCDB = 100 X (Initial Wt - Dry weight)/(Dry Weight)MCWB would be the basis usually assumed, but if one isinterested in the fuel or lumber properties, one is mostinterested in the MCDB.http://www.woodgas.com/water_content_of_biomass.htm (2 of 2) [10/9/2008 08:23:11]
