We were asked to perform a test for a potential customer on water reeds. Due to the nature of their project the water reeds must be maintained and cut thee times a year.
Once the reeds have been air dried, they are then used for thatched roofing, one of the oldest roofing methods, and very efficient at keeping heat in by the way.
However there is roughly 30% of reed waste left over after the reed has been sent for roofing purposes, and we were asked to do a trial on the material to see if we could produce some pellets for use in boilers and stoves. The pictures below are of the 6mm reed pellets we produced.
After a few tests and experiments we found the reed produced their best pellets between 13-15% moisture. The pellets were produced with no additional binder, and are hard, shiny and dense. We hope to produce some more reed pellets in the future and conduct some test burns in our pellet boiler.
