Fuelwood conditioning operations depend on the installation in which the fuel is to be used, and in particular on the method of fuel introduction. When the fuel is introduced manually, it is mainly conditioned in the form of logs, the size of which is determined by handling, conditioning or storage constraints or, quite simply, by the capacity of the installation. Length is obtained by cutting, and cross-section by splitting.
Automatic feed systems require fragmented (or split) fuel obtained by grinding or chipping. These plants can also directly accept by-products from the wood processing industry, such as sawdust, bark or shavings. Finally, fuel can also be reconditioned by densification, as in the case of pellets or briquettes obtained by compacting sawdust or dry wood shavings.
