NOVELTY - Utilizing non-food agricultural plant material involves harvesting agricultural plant material having no food value; bailing the harvested material; transporting the baled material to a storage site; shredding the baled material; grinding the shredded material; pelletizing the ground material into pellets; and transporting the pellets to a facility for use.    USE - For utilizing non-food agricultural plant material, particularly agricultural waste or residue (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - By using the method, the residue and crop processing will maintain cellulose and hemicelluloses levels for years. The method includes a single pass stover and crop harvesting which reduces equipment energy usage by 30%. The innovative facility design combines with the unique pelletizing process and product for large scale cellulosic ethanol, utility, and other biofuel markets. The pelletizing system allows rapid, economical, and sustainable development of energy crops and crop residue as a feed stock so as to facilitate the biomass industry by utilizing existing grain industry transportation and storage infrastructure. Thus, biomass pellets are developed as a commodity for producing cellulosic ethanol, as a substitute for coal in coal-fired electricity plants as well as a percentage to blend with coal, and for other commercial uses. The method when applied to the ethanol and electricity industries, provide estimated benefits compared to existing technologies or systems. The pellet production process provides key benefits for users such as electric utilities and cellulosic ethanol producers including the operating cost for the process; the production of a durable product with final bulk density of 35-40 pounds per cubic foot that is handled with standard grain handling equipment; the production of a product that fits within the infrastructure already in place for grain handling and transportation; the production of a product that is used as a fuel source and/or feed stock for cellulosic ethanol production and for electricity production with minimal requirement for further processing and is delivered to the customer on a turn key basis; and production of a product with specific customer specifications that optimizes burner combustion in electrical generation plants and maximizes pre-treatment effectiveness for cellulose plants, without the customer adding infrastructure to their process.
