Technical Field
The invention relates to a granular wooden biomass fuel ordering system.
Background
Due to the implementation of the japanese renewable energy special measure act, etc., the development of technologies for using woody biomass such as trunks and branches of trees, chips, sawdust, bark, construction waste, etc., which are renewable energy, as an alternative fuel for power generation boilers or cement clinker firing facilities has been advanced.
For example, in the case of using cut wood as fuel for a power generation boiler, the demand amount of cut wood reaches several tens of thousands of tons or more per year. However, in order to stably and efficiently supply woody biomass as a fuel, there are many problems such as seasonal variation in supply amount due to tree growth and mass transportation between a supply site and a demand site.
Further, the fuel is required to have stability of quality such as calorific value (calorific value), and thus, in order to secure a supply amount required throughout the year, it is necessary to use a plurality of supply places or a plurality of types of woody biomass in combination in consideration of seasonal variations and the like in relation to the supply amounts of the various woody biomass fuels. When a plurality of woody biomass fuels are used in combination or in a mixed manner, a technique for stabilizing the quality to prevent the quality characteristics of the woody biomass fuel as a final product from being varied is required.
For example,
Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
However, the system and method for collecting and selling a coal-based and woody biomass mixed fuel disclosed in
The consumers utilizing woody biomass fuels have historically placed orders directly from suppliers of woody biomass fuels that include the quality and quantity of woody biomass fuel required by the consumers themselves. In this case, when a certain supplier a does not have a sufficient stock of woody biomass fuel satisfying the quality required by the customer, the customer needs to place the same order for the other supplier B. As described above, depending on the stock status of the supplier, the customer needs to order a plurality of suppliers and the workload of the purchase responsible person increases.
In addition, if a customer desires to order a woody biomass fuel of higher quality than before, there is a case where it is necessary to find a new supplier to order, which is different from the supplier who has already performed the transaction. However, since it is often difficult for the demander to rely on the quality information on the woody biomass fuel supplied by the supplier without the trade performance record, it is actually necessary to perform a quality check on the demander side. Therefore, even if a new supplier can be found, the delivered fuel cannot be used immediately, and the convenience of fuel use becomes worse for the demander. In addition, when a supplier capable of providing high-quality fuel is initially searched again, there may be a case where a large workload is imposed on a purchase obligator.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems in the logistics of woody biomass fuels, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ordering system capable of stably supplying granular woody biomass fuels of a quality required by consumers to consumers without placing a heavy burden on the consumers.
Means for solving the problems
The present invention relates to a granular woody biomass fuel ordering system (i.e., an ordering reservation-acceptance system) in which,
the ordering system has:
a management server for monitoring the stock state of a fuel management base composed of a product placement site, an acceptance material placement site, and a processing equipment, wherein
The product placing place stores product fuels as granular woody biomass fuels in a shippable state by quality classification,
the acceptance material placing place stores acceptance material fuel for processing to generate the product fuel in a quality classification,
said processing equipment subjecting said acceptance material fuel to said processing to produce said article fuel;
a customer terminal configured to be capable of communicating with the management server and to receive input of first order information on a customer side, the first order information including information on a required quality and a required amount of the product fuel; and
an in-base terminal configured to be capable of communicating with the management server and configured to instruct, in the fuel management base, a job related to a shipping process and/or the processing process;
and is
The management server comprises a storage unit, an inventory determination unit, a shipment processing instruction creation unit, and an inventory update unit
The storage section stores first stock quantity information relating to a stock quantity by quality of the product fuel stored in the product placing location and second stock quantity information relating to a stock quantity by quality of the acceptable material fuel stored in the acceptable material placing location;
the stock determination unit reads the first stock quantity information and the second stock quantity information from the storage unit when the first order information is transmitted from the customer terminal, and determines whether or not delivery of the product fuel satisfying the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information can be performed by calculating, based on the product fuel currently stored in the product placement location and the product fuel generated by subjecting the acceptance material fuel stored in the acceptance material placement location to the processing by the processing facility;
a shipping instruction creation unit that, when the shipment can be performed, transmits shipping instruction information to the terminal in the base, the shipping instruction information including first consumption information and/or second consumption information, the first consumption information being a quality-classified amount of the product fuel necessary for the shipment, the second consumption information being a quality-classified amount of the acceptance material fuel necessary for the processing for the shipment;
the inventory update unit updates the first stock quantity information and/or the second stock quantity information stored in the storage unit based on the first consumption amount information and/or the second consumption amount information.
The ordering system for granular woody biomass fuel (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "ordering system") of the present invention includes a management server, a requester terminal, and an in-base terminal. The management server has a function of monitoring the stock condition of the fuel management base. The customer terminal is a terminal capable of inputting information (first order information) relating to the quality and quantity of the demanded fuel from the customer side to the management server. The terminal in the base is a terminal capable of transmitting a shipping instruction and/or a processing instruction in the fuel management base from the management server, and is, for example, a terminal that an operator of the fuel management base can confirm as appropriate.
The management server is configured by, for example, a general-purpose computer having an arithmetic processing function and a storage function. The demander terminal and the in-base terminal are configured by, for example, a portable terminal such as a smartphone in addition to a general-purpose computer. The management server may be present in the site of the fuel management base or may be present in a site remote from the site of the fuel management base.
The fuel management base has a function of storing fuel supplied (transported) from one or more suppliers (fuel manufacturing sites) as fuel supplied (transported) from the suppliers, and the following is conceivable: the fuel is a fuel obtained by granulating a fuel having a quality (hereinafter referred to as "shippable quality") that enables direct shipment to a customer; this fuel is a fuel that has not reached a shippable quality because it has not been pelletized, and thus cannot be shipped directly and requires processing. This difference is due to the manufacturing and processing capabilities of the suppliers, etc. In the present specification, the former fuel is referred to as "product fuel", and the latter fuel is referred to as "acceptance material fuel".
The fuel management base includes: a product placement location for storing product fuel by quality classification; and a place for placing the acceptance material for storing the acceptance material fuel by quality classification. The management server includes a storage unit in which: information (first stock quantity information) relating to the stock quantity by quality of the product fuel stored in the product placement site; and information (second stock quantity information) relating to the stock quantity by quality of the acceptance material fuel stored in the acceptance material placing place. That is, the management server is configured to be able to identify, by quality, the fuel inventory amount that satisfies the invokable quality and the fuel inventory amount that does not satisfy the shippable quality, which are stored in the current fuel management base, respectively.
The fuel management base has a process facility for performing a process on the approved material fuel to produce a manufactured fuel. That is, as described above, even when the fuel transported from the supplier is of a quality that cannot be directly shipped without being pelletized, it can be converted into a fuel (product fuel) having a shippable quality in the fuel management base.
The management server has an inventory determination unit. The stock determination unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and/or hardware. When the first order information is transmitted from the customer terminal, the stock determination section determines whether or not delivery of product fuel satisfying the quality (required quality) and quantity (required amount) described in the first order information can be performed based on the stock amount currently stored in the fuel management base. Here, as described above, the storage unit of the management server stores the information (first stock quantity information) on the stock quantity by quality of the product fuel, and also stores the information (second stock quantity information) on the stock quantity by quality of the certified material fuel. Therefore, for example, when the stock quantity of the product fuel stored in the fuel management base to satisfy the demanded quality of the demanded customer is insufficient with respect to the demanded quantity of the demanded customer, there is a case where the demanded quantity of the demanded customer can be satisfied by processing the acceptance check material fuel in the processing facility included in the fuel management base to generate the product fuel satisfying the demanded quality.
In consideration of the above point, the inventory determination unit reads the first inventory information and the second inventory information from the storage unit, and determines whether or not the delivery of the product fuel satisfying the demanded quality and the demanded amount of the customer from the fuel management base can be performed at present by calculation.
The management server has a shipping processing instruction creation unit. The shipping instruction creation unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and/or hardware. The shipping processing instruction making unit has the following functions: when the stock judging unit judges that the delivery of the product fuel satisfying the quality and the quantity required by the customer from the fuel management base is currently possible, the required quantity of the fuel is transmitted to the base terminal together with the information of the quality.
As an example, a case may be considered where the product fuel stored according to the current fuel management base can be concerned with satisfying the demand of the demander. In this case, the shipping instruction creation unit transmits only information (first consumption amount information) on the quality and amount of the required product fuel to the base terminal. At this time, on the fuel management base side, when the first consumption amount information is received in the in-base terminal, necessary operations can be performed to deliver product fuel that satisfies the quality and amount based on the information to the customer.
As another example, a case may be considered where the product fuel stored in the current fuel management base cannot be made to meet the needs of the demander but can meet the needs of the demander by processing the acceptance material fuel stored in the fuel management base. In this case, the delivery/processing instruction creation unit transmits information (second consumption amount information) relating to the quality and amount of the acceptable material fuel required for the processing, together with the first consumption amount information, to the base terminal as necessary. At this time, on the fuel management base side, when the second consumption amount information is received in the in-base terminal, necessary operations can be performed to process the accepted material fuel satisfying the quality and amount based on the information by the processing equipment.
The management server has an inventory update unit. The stock update unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and/or hardware. The stock update unit has the following functions: when the shipping instruction creation unit transmits the first consumption amount information and/or the second consumption amount information to the fuel management base, the shipping instruction creation unit updates the first stock amount information and/or the second stock amount information stored in the storage unit based on the first consumption amount information and/or the second consumption amount information. As a result, information on the stock quantity stored in the current fuel management base is stored in the storage unit of the management server.
That is, according to the present system, the customer can order the product fuel satisfying the required quality and the required amount without individually transmitting the order information to each supplier, and the product fuel satisfying the required quality and the required amount can be stably secured. In particular, by storing the product fuel and the acceptance material fuel in the logistics management base, it is possible to buffer seasonal variation associated with the supply amount of the woody biomass fuel, supply amount variation caused by logistics problems and the like by the storage capacity of the logistics management base, and to enable the consumers to obtain stable supply.
In addition, even when the stock of product fuel satisfying the required quality in the fuel management base is insufficient, the demand of the demander can be satisfied by appropriately performing necessary processing.
The management server includes a processing result calculation unit that calculates, based on the amount of the acceptable material fuel classified by quality used for the processing, the quality and amount of the product fuel generated by the processing;
the inventory determination unit may determine, based on the calculation result of the processing result calculation unit, whether or not the shipment of the product fuel satisfying the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information can be performed by calculation.
The machining result calculation unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and/or hardware. Based on the above configuration, when the product fuel stored in the current fuel management base cannot meet the demand of the demander, the management server can calculate by calculation: about what quantity of accepted material fuel to process is to produce about what quantity of product fuel to meet the required quality.
For example, the processing result calculation unit can determine the quality of the product fuel produced by applying the processing treatment, based on the ratio of the quality-classified amounts of the acceptable material fuels used in the processing treatment.
The management server includes a product mixture result calculation unit that calculates, based on the amounts of the product fuels classified by quality, the quality and amount of the product fuel generated by mixing the product fuels of different qualities by calculation;
the inventory determination unit may determine, based on the calculation result of the product mixture result calculation unit, whether or not the shipment of the product fuel satisfying the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information can be performed by calculation.
The product mixture result calculation unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and/or hardware. For example, in the case of a product fuel having a quality closest to the demanded quality of the customer, it is considered that a sufficient amount of product fuel having a quality higher than the demanded quality and a sufficient amount of product fuel having a quality lower than the demanded quality are stored in the product storage location, although the product fuel is not sufficiently stored in the product storage location. In this case, the required quality and the required amount may be satisfied by mixing the high-quality product fuel with the low-quality product fuel. The product mixture result calculation unit can determine what quality of product fuel is generated by mixing approximately how many product fuels of different qualities. The stock determination unit determines whether or not delivery of the item fuel satisfying the ordered content is possible based on the calculation result of the item mix result calculation unit, thereby further increasing the possibility that the item fuel satisfying the ordered content can be delivered to the customer.
The ordering system has a supplier terminal configured to be capable of communicating with the management server,
the first order information contains information relating to a required delivery date;
the management server may be configured to have a supplier extraction unit, a shortage calculation unit, and a reservation ordering unit for a supplier
A supplier extracting unit that extracts, when the stock determining unit determines that the shipment cannot be performed, one or more suppliers that can supply the acceptance material fuel or the product fuel to the fuel management base during a delivery date that satisfies the required delivery date described in the first order information by calculation;
the shortage calculation unit calculates, by calculation, a first shortage, which is an amount of the product fuel classified by quality necessary for addition to satisfy the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information, and/or a second shortage, which is an amount of the acceptable material fuel classified by quality necessary for addition to satisfy the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information, and which is classified by quality;
the supplier reservation ordering unit creates second ordering information including the first shortage and/or the second shortage, and the supply delivery date, and transmits the second ordering information to the supplier terminal managed by the supplier extracted by the supplier extracting unit.
The ordering system configured as described above has a supplier terminal. The supplier terminal is a terminal managed by a supplier (fuel manufacturing site), and is configured by a portable terminal such as a smartphone in addition to a general-purpose computer. The supplier extraction unit, the shortage calculation unit, and the supplier reservation ordering unit of the management server are all arithmetic processing units that perform predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and are configured by dedicated software and/or hardware.
Even if the inventory determination unit has the inventory of the product fuel and the acceptance material fuel stored in the fuel management base, it may be determined that the shipment corresponding to the order satisfying the required quality and the required amount specified by the demander cannot be performed.
In this case, based on the above-described configuration, first, the supplier (fuel manufacturing site) capable of supplying fuel to the fuel management base during a period satisfying the required delivery date specified by the demander (i.e., during the delivery date that is a period shorter than the required delivery date) is extracted in the supplier extraction portion. Next, the shortage calculation unit calculates the amount (shortage) of the product fuel and/or the acceptable material fuel, which is required to be added to satisfy the required quality and the required amount specified by the customer, classified by quality. The supplier reservation ordering unit transmits, to the supplier extracted by the supplier extraction unit, order information (second order information) for an amount corresponding to the shortage amount classified by quality to be supplied to the fuel management base during the supply delivery period.
That is, based on the above configuration, even when the product fuel and the acceptance material fuel stored in the ignition material management base at the time of order initiation by the customer cannot satisfy the demand of the customer in terms of stock quantity, the supplier capable of additionally supplying the fuel to the fuel management base is automatically selected and the reservation ordering process is performed. Thereby further increasing the likelihood that the customer will be able to ship product fuels that meet the ordered content.
The storage part stores processing time information and transportation time information, wherein,
the processing time information is related to a processing time necessary in the processing equipment for generating the article fuel for the acceptance material fuel to be subjected to the processing,
said transportation time information is related to the transportation time necessary for each of said suppliers to transport said acceptance material fuel or said article fuel from said supplier's site to said fuel management base;
and is
The supplier extraction unit may be configured to: one or more suppliers are extracted based on the information on the required delivery date described in the first order information, and the processing time information and the transportation time information stored in the storage unit.
With the above arrangement, the supplier extracting unit can extract not only the supplier who can supply the product fuel satisfying the required quality during the delivery date of supply, but also the supplier who can supply the acceptance material fuel capable of generating the product fuel satisfying the required quality during the delivery date of supply, in consideration of the time for performing the processing in the processing facility in the fuel management base. Thus, even when the product fuel and the acceptance material fuel stored in the management base are ignited at the time of order initiation by the customer and cannot meet the demand of the customer in terms of stock quantity, the possibility of being able to deliver the product fuel satisfying the order to the customer is further increased.
The storage unit stores manufacturing capability information relating to the quality of the acceptance material fuel or the product fuel that can be manufactured by each of the suppliers;
the supplier extraction unit may be configured to:
extracting, from the plurality of suppliers, supply candidates capable of manufacturing the production fuel of a quality necessary for addition to satisfy the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information and/or the acceptance material fuel of a quality necessary for addition to satisfy the required quality and the required amount described in the first order information and the processing performed based on the manufacturing capability information by calculation; on the basis of the above-mentioned technical scheme,
performing a process of extracting by operation one or more of the suppliers of the supply candidates who can supply the acceptance material fuel or the production fuel to the fuel management base within the supply delivery period.
Among suppliers (fuel production sites) who supply product fuels and/or acceptance material fuels to a fuel management base, there are cases where there is a possibility that a supplier cannot produce a product fuel having a quality that satisfies a required quality ordered by a certain demander X at first, or a supplier that can produce an acceptance material fuel having a quality that satisfies the required quality. Based on the above configuration, information (manufacturing capability information) relating to the quality of the acceptable material fuel or the product fuel that can be manufactured is stored in advance for each supplier in the storage section of the management server, and therefore, in the supplier extraction section, it is possible to exclude from the supplier who cannot manufacture the fuel that must be added to correspond to the order of the demander X initially, regardless of the delivery date. This can prevent a problem that the supplier cannot cope with the solution after the reservation of the fuel supply order for the supplier.
The processing treatment apparatus may be configured to include an apparatus that performs a processing treatment on the certified material fuel to generate the product fuel, and the processing treatment is at least one selected from the group consisting of a foreign matter removal treatment, a mixing treatment, a pulverization treatment, a drying treatment, a classification treatment, and a molding treatment.
As an example, the processing facility may be configured to include:
a crushing apparatus for crushing the acceptance material fuel;
a mixing device for mixing the acceptance material fuels after or before being pulverized by the pulverizing device with each other or mixing the pulverized acceptance material fuels with fuel materials other than the acceptance material fuels; and
a molding device for molding the acceptance material fuel mixed by the mixing device into a pellet shape.
As another example, the processing apparatus may be configured to include:
a foreign matter removing apparatus for removing foreign matter contained in the acceptance material fuel; and
a classification device for classifying the acceptance material fuel after or before being pulverized by the pulverization device.
The product fuel stored in the product placement site is stored in quality classification obtained by range division based on at least one index selected from the group consisting of alkali metal content, chlorine content, water content, and calorific value,
the acceptance material fuel stored in the acceptance material placement site is stored in quality classification obtained by performing range division based on the above-mentioned index,
the quality of demand described in the first order information may be set to be specified based on the index.
Based on the above configuration, the index defining the required quality described in the order from the customer is used in common with the index indicating the quality of the product fuel and the acceptable material fuel stored in the fuel management base by the quality classification. Thus, the stock determination unit can determine whether or not the demand of the customer can be satisfied by a simple calculation from the stock amount of the fuel (product fuel, acceptable material fuel) stored in the current fuel management base.
The fuel management base may be set to have: an analysis device that analyzes the acceptance material fuel and/or the product fuel with respect to a calorific value and/or a prescribed chemical composition.
With such a configuration, when fuel (acceptance material fuel/product fuel) is supplied from a supplier to a fuel management base, even if information on the quality of the fuel is unknown, the quality can be specified by analyzing the fuel in the fuel management base. Thus, the acceptance material placement location or the product placement location as the storage destination of each fuel can be appropriately specified.
In particular, by providing the fuel management base with an analysis device for analyzing the product fuel, it is possible to confirm the quality characteristics of the loaded product loaded on a transportation means such as a ship or a truck and to deliver the product, or to confirm the quality characteristics of the loaded product and then to deliver the product, thereby preventing in advance the delivery of product fuel having a quality that does not meet the specification of the customer.
Note that the same or different analyzing device may be used for the analyzing device for analyzing the acceptance material fuel, the analyzing device for analyzing the product fuel produced by processing the acceptance material fuel, and the analyzing device for analyzing the product fuel to be shipped.
Optionally, the approved material fuel comprises woody biomass from palm oil.
In the fuel control base, the total of the amount of the product fuel that can be stored in the product placement location and the amount of the acceptable material fuel that can be stored in the acceptable material placement location is preferably 1 ten thousand 5 kilotons or more, more preferably 3 ten thousand kilotons or more, and particularly preferably 6 ten thousand kilotons or more. By providing the fuel management base with such a storage capacity, it is possible to store fuel required for several weeks in, for example, a 75MW class biomass power generation boiler.
In the case where the fuel management base includes a mixing facility as one of the processing facilities, the mixing facility may be set to have a function of mixing the pulverized acceptance material fuel with the spent bleaching earth. In this way, granular woody biomass fuel composed of a mixture of woody biomass and spent clay having excellent mechanical strength can also be shipped from a fuel management base.
Effects of the invention
The ordering system based on the invention can not bear the heavy burden on the side of a demander, and can stably provide granular woody biomass fuel which meets the quality required by the demander for the demander.

Detailed Description
First embodiment
Next, a first embodiment of a granular woody biomass fuel ordering system (ordering reservation-reception system) according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As described above, the "ordering system for granular woody biomass fuel" is sometimes abbreviated as "ordering system".
Fig. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a first embodiment of the ordering system. In fig. 1, the fuel flow is indicated by solid arrows and the information flow is indicated by dashed arrows. The same applies to fig. 11 described later.
As shown in fig. 1, the

The
Supplier 2 is assumed to be: the site itself where the biomass fuel constituting the granular woody biomass fuel or the raw material of the granular woody biomass fuel required by the
Examples of supplier 2 include: fuel processing plants installed as accessories in the palm oil industry, processing plants that process low-quality materials produced by mountain finishing, such as woodland leftovers or intermediate cuts, into chips or firewood, processing plants that produce wooden particles or chips from leftovers or sawdust produced by wood factories, waste processing plants that produce wooden particles or chips from wooden waste, such as building waste, or waste pallets, produced during demolition from houses, and the like.
In the present specification, "woody biomass" refers to an organic resource derived from wood: forest leftovers such as branches and leaves generated during tree harvesting or timber fabrication, barks or sawdust generated by timber factories and the like, demolition materials of houses or trimmed branches from street trees and the like. Among these woody biomass, a material having a sufficient calorific value as a fuel, a small content of a contraindication component such as alkali, and a large amount of produced fuel is used as a preferable woody biomass fuel.
In particular, palm empty fruit Ears (EFB), palm trunks (OPT), palm stems and leaves (OPF), Mesocarp Fibers (MF), palm kernel husk (PKS), palm kernel dregs (PKC), palm oil factory waste liquid (POME), and the like, which are woody biomass derived from the palm oil industry prevalent in malaysia and indonesia, generate a good calorific value of 4000kcal/kg or more by drying, and the world production of PKS alone is about 1 million tons (t), and are very preferable as biomass fuels. Note that the calorific value in the present description refers to JIS Z7302-2 "waste solidified fuel — part 2: net calorific value (lower calorific value) described in calorific value test method ".
In the case of using woody biomass as a fuel, it is preferably processed into pellets. By processing into pellets, the pellets have a shape preferable as a fuel, for example, woody biomass fuel is uniform in size; in addition, the heating value increases due to the increase in specific gravity; meanwhile, since drying is easy, the moisture content can be reduced only by placing the container in an environment with low humidity. The granular woody biomass fuel is generally cylindrical with a diameter of about 10mm and a length of about 50mm, and has a calorific value of 3000kcal/kg to 5000 kcal/kg.
The "mechanical strength" of the granular woody biomass fuel in the present specification means a drop strength described in mechanical Durability (DU) described in the standard "woody pellet quality standard" of the japan woody pellet association of the general community, or in the "granulated substance-strength test method" of JIS Z8841, and the mechanical Durability (DU) is 96.5% or more, preferably 97.5% or more, and particularly preferably 98% or more, and the drop strength is 97% or more, preferably 98% or more, and particularly preferably 99% or more, as a mechanical strength that the granular woody biomass fuel should have in order to have preferable handling properties.

(step SA10, step SA20)
As described above, the
The reception device 31 preferably has a marine reception device 31a and a land reception device 31 b. The marine vessel receiving facility 31a is a facility for receiving, on the
Preferably, the marine receiving facility 31a is constituted by, for example, an estuary cargo handling facility provided in a coast portion, and is provided with a dedicated terminal. The sea receiver 31a is not particularly limited as long as it can receive bulk cargo, and a general unloader such as a grab bucket type, a continuous mechanical type, or a pneumatic type can be used. In particular, a grab bucket is preferable from the viewpoint of being able to handle loads of various shapes and sizes.
A ship dedicated to wood chips (wood chips) is generally equipped with a crane, as an example of the ship. In this way, the sea transport receiver 31a may include a receiving hopper to which a conveyor is attached so as to receive the fuel transported by the cargo ship equipped with a crane.
Thus, for example, when the supplier 2 is a manufacturing site of fuel from palm coconut such as malaysia or indonesia, a large amount of such woody biomass fuel or the like can be received by the marine vessel as the
The land transportation receiver 31b is not particularly limited as long as it can be unloaded from various trucks of a Dump (Dump) type or a road traveling type (or slide dock), and a receiving hopper to which a conveyor is attached can be effectively used. In this way, by providing the land use receiver 31b in the receiver 31, it is possible to receive the wood biomass fuel such as the building waste wood, which has been conventionally disposed of in a waste incineration facility or a final landfill in a small amount, by the
The receiving facility 31 of the
Here, the following is assumed as the fuel transported from the supplier 2: the fuel is a fuel (product fuel) granulated in a state having a quality (shippable quality) that can be directly shipped to the
The "acceptance material fuel" refers to a woody biomass fuel which is not processed into a granular biomass fuel, and specifically refers to: big wood, round wood, small wood, branch bundle, firewood and the like; chips, spiral chips (Screw chopping), chips, and the like; sawdust such as sawdust and wood shavings; bark (Bark); wood material; waste wood materials such as waste wood materials generated in the process of civil engineering construction, construction waste materials generated in the process of building demolition and the like. The acceptance material fuel is not particularly limited in shape and size, since it is converted into a product fuel by being subjected to a processing treatment such as pulverization or molding in step SA40 described later. Note that, even biomass fuel processed into pellets is included in the acceptable material fuel when the quality of the fuel does not reach a shippable quality, for example, when the mechanical strength is significantly reduced.
The
The
(step SA30)
After receiving the acceptance material fuel from the supplier 2, the
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the processing included in step SA 30. In the example shown in fig. 6, step SA30 includes the processes of step SA32, step SA33, step SA34, step SA35, and step SA 36.
First, a part of the approved material fuel is extracted from the large amount of approved material fuel transported from supplier 2 (step SA 32). For example, as shown in fig. 2, the
Next, the acceptance material fuel extracted in step SA32 is subjected to predetermined analysis processing (step SA 33). For example, as shown in fig. 2, the
The analyzing device 41 is not particularly limited as long as it can cope with a desired test and analysis item, and a general-purpose test device or analyzing device can be used. The analysis device 41 may be configured to be unmanned by a robot operation automation system or the like. As an example, the analyzing device 41 has a function of testing and analyzing the alkali metal content, chlorine content, moisture content, and calorific value of the test material fuel.
In the measurement of the amount of chemical components (alkali metal, chlorine, etc.) contained in the test material fuel, there is no particular limitation as long as an analysis method capable of obtaining a desired amount of chemical components is employed, but from the viewpoint of versatility and analysis accuracy, it is preferable to use an absorption spectrophotometry, an emission spectrophotometry, an atomic absorption spectrophotometry, or an ICP emission spectrophotometry relating to a solution in which a sample or an ashed sample is completely dissolved by an acid. In addition, the chlorine content can be measured using JISZ 7302-6 "waste solidified fuel — part 6: test methods in Total chlorine content test methods ". It is noted that ashing of the biomass fuel is preferably performed at a low temperature of 600 ℃.
In addition, in the measurement of the amount of water (or the water content) contained in the acceptance material fuel, for example, JIS Z7302-3 "waste solidified fuel-part 3: the method described in "Water test method". Specifically, the mass before and after heating in the case of heating at a drying chamber temperature of 107 ± 2 ℃ for 1 hour may be used. Furthermore, the analysis can be performed by an instrument such as a thermobalance analysis (TG).
In addition, in the measurement of the calorific value of the acceptance material fuel, for example, JIS Z7302-2 "waste solidified fuel — part 2: the method described in the calorific value test method ".
The analyzing device 41 does not necessarily have all of the analyzing functions of the amount of alkali metal, the amount of chlorine, the amount of moisture (water content), and the calorific value contained in the acceptance material fuel, and may have at least one of the analyzing functions.
Note that, as a method of transporting the acceptance material fuel extracted by the sampler 43 for acceptance material fuel to the installation site of the analysis device 41, there is no particular limitation, and a pneumatic transport pipe system or the like capable of automatically transporting a sample is preferably used.
Next, the quality of the subject acceptance material fuel is specified based on the result of the analysis by the analysis apparatus 41 in step SA33 (step SA 34).
The quality of the acceptable material fuel may be specified by any quality item and any number of grades in each quality item. For example, the following method can be employed: when the three items of the calorific value, the moisture content, and the alkali content are selected, the two items of the calorific value and the moisture content which can be processed relatively easily are classified into two levels of sizes determined by specific threshold values, and the alkali content which is difficult to process is classified into three levels of large, medium, and small, and the whole is classified into 12 (2 × 2 × 3), in consideration of the difficulty in the processing performed in step SA40 described later. The classified items may also include chlorine content.
Next, based on the quality of the certified material fuel specified in step SA34, a certified material placing location 32 as a storage destination of the certified material fuel is selectively specified from among the respective certified material placing locations 32(32a, 32b, 32c, … …) (step SA 35).
As described above, the quality of the acceptable material fuel to be stored differs in each acceptable material placement site 32. The information on the quality of the acceptable material fuel distributed to each acceptable material placement site 32 may be stored in advance on a storage section or a paper surface of an information processing device not shown in the drawings. In the former case, the following may be set: the operator of the
An acceptance material placing place 32 as a storage destination of the acceptance material fuel is specified based on the stored information. Note that, when the quality of the acceptable material fuel specified in step SA34 reaches the above-described shippable quality, the acceptable material fuel may be stored in a predetermined product placement location 34, or one placement location (for example, the acceptable material placement location 32a) of the acceptable material placement locations 32 may be used as the product placement location 34.
And, the acceptance material fuel is transported and stored to the acceptance material placing site 32 specified in step SA35 (step SA 36). Note that, when transporting fuel (acceptance material fuel/product fuel) in the
The receiving material placing place 32 is not particularly limited as long as it is a facility capable of storing the received woody biomass fuel, i.e., the receiving material fuel, without causing it to be wetted by rain or the like and smoothly performing receiving and loading, and a roofed building or silo (ensiling tower) can be effectively used. From the viewpoint of preventing water from wetting and spontaneous combustion during storage, a storage facility that can introduce dry gas or a turning device provided with a pile of woody biomass fuel into a storage space as described in patent No. 6381836 and the like is more preferable. Note that, in the case of using a roofed building as the acceptance material placing place 32, a plurality of kinds of acceptance material fuels can be stored in one building as long as management can be performed so that the acceptance material fuels classified by quality do not mix with each other.
Depending on the supplier 2, the
In the above case, it is possible to specify the acceptable material placement location 32 as the storage destination of the acceptable material fuel based on the information on the quality of the acceptable material fuel notified from the supplier 2, and store the acceptable material fuel in the specified acceptable material placement location 32 (steps SA35, SA 36). In this case, the following may be set: it is not necessary to perform an analysis process for the acceptance material fuel (step SA33) and a specified process based on the quality of the analysis result (step SA34) in the
(step SA40)
Then, the quality improvement processing is performed by performing processing on the acceptance material fuel stored in the acceptance material placement site 32, thereby producing a fuel (product fuel) of a quality that can be delivered. As shown in fig. 2, the
For example, the acceptance material fuel having a small calorific value is subjected to mixing processing with another acceptance material fuel having a large calorific value. For the acceptance material fuel with a large moisture content, drying treatment is performed. For the acceptance material fuel having a large alkali content, a mixing process with other acceptance material fuel having a small alkali content is performed. For the acceptance material fuel not processed into the granular form, after each process of the foreign matter removal, the pulverization process and/or the classification process is performed, the molding process is performed to make it into the granular form.
That is, the processing treatment includes a foreign matter removal treatment, a mixing treatment, a pulverization treatment, a drying treatment, a classification treatment, a molding treatment, and the like. In step SA40, all of these processes may be executed, or only a part of them may be executed.

The drying
The temperature for the drying treatment can be 175 ℃ or lower. This also provides the following effects: since the temperature of the woody biomass fuel becomes sufficiently high (for example, 80 ℃ or higher) at the time of the drying treatment, the woody biomass fuel can be sterilized even if microorganisms are present therein. On the other hand, when the temperature of the woody biomass fuel exceeds 175 ℃, the biomass fuel may accumulate heat and cause thermal runaway to cause fire. Thus, the drying temperature is preferably 80 ℃ or higher and 175 ℃ or lower.
The classifying
The
For example, even if the fuel transported from the supplier 2 is a granular woody biomass fuel, the quality may not be shippable, for example, the water content exceeds 15 mass%, or the mechanical strength is lowered by wetting with water. That is, the following is assumed: the granular woody biomass fuel transported from the supplier 2 is not a product fuel but is considered to be an acceptance material fuel.
For example, in the case where the water content is more than 15 mass%, the granular woody biomass fuel may be treated as an acceptance material fuel and subjected to a drying treatment in this step SA 40. Note that if the water content of the granular woody biomass fuel is 15 mass% or less, the granular woody biomass fuel has a mechanical strength capable of sufficiently withstanding mechanical impact received during transportation or the like and retaining its own shape, and does not cause a problem in handling properties. Therefore, the granular woody biomass fuel having a water content of 15 mass% or less may not be subjected to the drying treatment.
Further, the acceptable material fuel as the granular woody biomass fuel whose mechanical strength is lowered by wetting with water or the like may be formed into granules after being subjected to a pulverization treatment or the like. For example, in the case of a granular woody biomass fuel, if the water content exceeds 40 mass%, a collapse phenomenon due to swelling occurs, and it is difficult to maintain the granular shape even if the above-mentioned drying treatment is performed. Therefore, even if the moisture content of the biomass fuel in this state is reduced by drying, the biomass fuel may be decomposed into powder or short fibers, and it is difficult to recover the operational characteristics. Thus, when the water content of the granular woody biomass fuel is 40 mass% or more, the granular woody biomass fuel may be decomposed into a short fiber form by pulverization or the like, then dried, and then molded into a granular form again.
(step SA50)
Next, with respect to the product fuel generated in step SA40 and the product fuel received in step SA20, the product placement site 34(34a, 34b, 34c, … …) as the storage destination is specified in accordance with the quality, and the product fuel is transported and stored at the specified product placement site 34.
Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the processing included in
First, a part of the product fuel is extracted from a large amount of the product fuel whose storage destination is to be determined (step SA 52).
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the
Next, the extracted product fuel is analyzed (step SA 53). In the example shown in fig. 2, the following is shown: the product fuel extracted by the sampler 44 for product fuel is analyzed by the same analyzing apparatus 41 as that of step SA 33. The
In step SA53, the alkali metal content, chlorine content, water content, and calorific value of the product fuel may be tested and analyzed in the same manner as in step SA 33. However, in the case of the product fuel produced through the processing in step SA40, for example, the moisture content of all the product fuels may be made to satisfy the quality level by performing the drying process. In this case, in step SA53, for example, only two items, that is, the calorific value and the alkali metal content, may be analyzed without analyzing the water content.
Next, the quality of the target product fuel is specified based on the result of the analysis performed by the analysis device 41 (step SA 54).
As a method for specifying the quality of the product fuel, it is sufficient to perform the specification in accordance with any quality item and any number of ranks in each quality item, as in the method for specifying the quality of the acceptable material fuel described in step SA 34. However, as described above, since the water content of all product fuels may satisfy the standard, it is possible to limit the fuel to two items such as the calorific value and the alkali content. In addition, for these limited quality items, a quality level corresponding to the requested quality of the customer side may be set, and in most cases, two levels of the size may be set for most of the quality items. Therefore, in the case where two items, that is, the calorific value and the alkali content, are taken as quality items to be managed of a product, a method of totally classifying the product fuel into 4 categories (═ 2 × 2) can be adopted.
Next, based on the quality of the product fuel specified in step SA54, the product placement site 34 that is the storage destination of the product fuel is selectively specified from among the product placement sites 34(34a, 34b, 34c, … …) (step SA 55). As described above, the quality of the product fuel to be stored differs among the product placement locations 34. The information on the quality of the product fuel distributed to each product placement site 34 may be stored in advance on a storage section or a paper surface of an information processing device not shown in the drawings. In the former case, it can be set as: the operator of the
Then, the product fuel is transported to the designated product placement site 34 and stored (step SA 56). Note that, as with the acceptance material placement site 32(32a, 32b, 32c, … …), the product placement site 34(34a, 34b, 34c, … …) is not particularly limited as long as it can store the received wooden biomass fuel, i.e., the acceptance material fuel, without causing it to be wet by rain, and can smoothly carry out receiving and loading, and a roofed building or silo can be effectively used.

If the shipping instruction information d4 does not include an instruction to indicate the intention to mix the produced fuels of different qualities (no in step SC3), the product placement location 34 in which the produced fuels of the qualities described in the shipping instruction information d4 are stored is designated (step SC 4).
(step SC5)
Then, a confirmation operation is performed as necessary to confirm that the product fuel stored in the designated product placement site 34 shows the required quality. This step SC5 may be omitted.
First, a part of the product fuel is extracted from the large amount of product fuel stored at the designated product placing place 6 (step SC5 a). For example, as shown in fig. 2, the
Next, the extracted product fuel is analyzed (step SC5 b). In the example shown in fig. 2, the case where the product fuel extracted in the sampler 45 for shipment is analyzed by the same analyzing device 41 as that of step SA33 is shown. The
Next, based on the result of the analysis performed by the analyzing device 41, the quality of the product fuel extracted by the sampler 45 for the shipment item is specified, and it is confirmed whether or not the specified quality reaches the required quality (step SC5 c).

In step SC5, when it is confirmed that the target product fuel has reached the required quality, a large amount of the product fuel stored in the product placement site 34 is transported to the delivery device 35. As described above, step SC5 may be omitted, and in this case, a large amount of product fuel stored at product placement site 34 specified in step SC4 is transported to delivery device 35.
The shipping device 35 preferably has a marine shipping device 35a and a land shipping device 35 b. The shipping facility for marine use 35a is not particularly limited as long as it is a facility capable of shipping according to the packaging system, such as a ship loader for bulk cargo, a crane or a crane for containers or bulk bags, or the like. The land transportation shipping equipment 35b is not particularly limited as long as it can be shipped according to a packaging method, such as a hopper for loading bulk trucks and a forklift for handling bulk bags.

Then, after the confirmation process of step SC5 is performed as necessary, step SC6 and step SC7 are performed.

If the shipping/processing instruction information d4 includes an instruction of an intention to perform processing on the acceptable material fuel (yes in step SC2), a predetermined amount of acceptable material fuel is taken out from the acceptable material storage location 32(32a, 32b, 32c, … …) where the acceptable material fuel of a predetermined quality is stored, and the
Then, after the confirmation process of step SC5 is performed as necessary for the product fuel, steps SC6 and SC7 are performed.

Fig. 15 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the configuration of the preprocessing apparatus 60. In the example shown in fig. 15, the preprocessing unit 60 is configured to include a foreign matter removing unit 61, a pulverizing unit 63, a drying unit 64, and a classifying unit 65. When it is difficult to directly perform the designation processing of the acceptance material placement site 32 as the storage destination in step SA30, for example, when the acceptance material fuel transported from the supplier 2 is a non-granular woody biomass fuel and a large amount of foreign matter or uneven size is mixed, the necessary processing is performed on the acceptance material fuel in the preprocessing device 60. Note that the preprocessing unit 60 does not need to have all of the foreign matter removing unit 61, the pulverizing unit 63, the drying unit 64, and the classifying unit 65, but may have at least one unit.

The spent clay that can be used in combination with the woody biomass fuel is a spent clay containing an oil component, which is produced by subjecting a mineral oil or a vegetable oil to a deodorization treatment or a bleaching treatment with an acid clay or activated clay, and generally has a calorific value of 3000kcal/kg or more. When the woody biomass fuel and the waste clay are mixed, the mixing ratio A to B (mass ratio) of the woody biomass fuel (A) and the waste clay (B) is preferably 98:2 to 84: 16. When the mixing ratio of the spent bleaching earth (B) is less than 2 mass% or more than 16 mass%, the granular woody biomass fuel may not have sufficient mechanical strength.
Note that, as the means for mixing the woody biomass fuel and the waste clay, the mixing means 52 may be configured to be provided with only the stirring blade, but it is preferable to use a means which is provided with an additional stirring blade and is configured to be able to rotate the mixing container itself. By rotating the mixing container itself, it is possible to favorably mix a viscous material such as waste clay and a material having a low volume density such as a woody biomass fuel. An example of a mixer configured to rotate the container itself is an Intensive mixer (intense mixer) manufactured by eirich corporation.
