N1 - Funding Information:
In 2018 Forest Concepts was awarded a competitive contract by the U.S. Department of Energy, Bioenergy Technologies Office to develop improved methods to model biomass flowability (Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: DE-FOA-0001689). The FOA specifically sought applications focusing on the development of dynamic, novel, real-time analytical models that would contribute to the design of reliable, cost effective, continuous feeding of biomass feedstocks (assuming the feedstock is already available within the plant boundary) into the reactor. Modeling efforts should focus primarily on feedstock characterization, particle size distribution, flow behavior, and rheological properties within the feedstock handling unit operations and how the solid material will flow within the reactor unit operations. Modeling efforts must account for the effect of temperature and pressure on feedstock handling. Forest Concepts was one of four awardees resulting from the solicitation.

N2 - New and improved laboratory equipment to measure biomass physical, mechanical, and flowability properties are being developed to prototype stage within this project. Improved analytical models and simulation tools are being developed to improve the design of biomass handling unit operations such as hoppers, chutes, feeders, and the like. The objective of the project is to contribute to the design and operation of reliable, cost effective, continuous feeding of biomass feedstocks into a reactor of an integrated biorefinery.
