SZPITAL SPECJALISTYCZNY IM. HENRYKA KLIMONTOWICZA W GORLICACH
The subject of the contract is the successive delivery of fuel wood - specifically hardwood and softwood fuel chips (biomass) - amounting to 12,000 stacked cubic meters (m³) under the base contract, with the option to increase deliveries by up to 2,400 m³; the material is intended for combustion in POLYTECHNIK VFR 4000 and VFR 1600 biomass boilers and includes transport and unloading at the storage yard by the Contracting Authority’s hospital boiler plant.
The wood fuel pellets shall be manufactured from softwood and/or hardwood sawdust; they are ideal for automatic, metered feeding, with adjustable flame and temperature settings to ensure consistent and convenient operation of the heating system. The pellets are produced by compressing sawdust into granules.
The pellets shall be packed in 15 kg bags, labeled with the product name and specifications, and shrink-wrapped on pallets containing 66 bags (990 kg).
The wood fuel briquettes shall be made from sawdust or wood chips, packed in shrink-wrap film in 5 kg or 10 kg bundles, labeled with the product name and specifications, and supplied on 1-tonne pallets. Technical specification:
- Cylindrical shape: diameter between 5.5 – 9 cm – length 400 mm
- Rectangular (parallelepiped) shape: RUF type – dimensions 150 x 60 x 90 mm
- Moisture content: ≤ 12%
- Ash content: ≤ 1.0%
- Fines (fine particles): ≤ 1.0 g/cm³
- Briquette temperature: ≤ 40°C
- Mechanical durability: ≥ 95.0
- Net calorific value: ≥ 4.3 kWh/kg – ≥ 15.5 MJ/kg
- Additives: ≤ 2%
- Nitrogen: ≤ 0.3%
- Sulfur: ≤ 0.04%
- Chlorine: ≤ 0.02%
- Pressed at a pressure of: 250 – 280 bar/cm³.
We require hardwood firewood—with delivery included for each individual location—to be used for heating the field stations during the cold season. Details available upon request.
Kiln-dried hardwood premium firewood that has been force-dried in a commercial kiln to reduce its internal moisture content, typically down to under 20. This process makes the wood highly efficient, easy to light, and clean-burning. For bulk convenience, it is commonly stacked and sold in neat, tightly packed timber pallets (or crates) measuring 1m³ or 2m³.
1m³ Pallets (Standard/Compact Size)
• Volume: Represents 1 cubic meter of neatly stacked firewood.
• Loose Equivalence: Contains roughly the same volume as 1.5 to 1.7 cubic meters of loose-filled logs, as hand-stacking eliminates the empty air pockets found in bulk bags.
• Best For: Homeowners with moderate heating needs, limited storage areas, or narrow side-passages where larger delivery crates cannot easily fit.
2m³ Pallets (Large/Bulk Size)
• Volume: Represents 2 cubic meters of neatly stacked firewood.
• Loose Equivalence: Contains roughly the same volume as 3.0 to 3.5 cubic meters of loose-filled logs, offering a much higher volume concentration.
• Best For: Heavy or daily winter burning, large properties, or household consumers looking for the best price-per-volume value to stock up for an entire season.
Key Characteristics of Kiln-Dried Hardwood Pallets
• Premium Hardwood Species: Typically made of dense woods like Ash, Oak, Beech, or Birch, which burn slower and hotter than softwoods.
• Maximum Heat Output: The low moisture level ensures energy isn39;t wasted boiling off internal water, resulting in an exceptionally hot, clean burn.
• Low Smoke Creosote: High-temperature burning minimizes soot and tar, which keeps your stove glass clear and protects your chimney from hazardous creosote buildup.
• Ready to Burn: Pallets arrive tightly stacked and stable, ready to be moved straight into a garage, log store, or shed for immediate use.
Our Premium Wood Pellets are a high-efficiency, eco-friendly solid biofuel engineered for residential heating stoves, fireplaces, and modern biomass boilers. Sourced from 100 pure, chemically untreated residual sawdust and wood shavings (typically softwood or hardwood), they are compressed under extreme pressure using the wood39;s natural lignin as a binding agent. They provide a highly consistent, carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuels, delivering clean combustion and maximal heat output.
Core Product Attributes
• High Thermal Efficiency: Delivers a net calorific value of ≥ 4.6 kWh/kg (approx. 16.5–18.5 MJ/kg), providing intense, steady, and cost-effective heat output.
• Ultra-Low Ash Residue: Features a minimal ash content of ≤ 0.7, which minimizes clinker formation, protects internal heating components, and drastically reduces cleaning intervals.
• Low Moisture Content: Maintained at ≤ 10 (typically 6–8) to guarantee rapid, effortless ignition and minimize smoke or steam during burning.
• High Mechanical Durability: Boasts a structural integrity rating of ≥ 97.5, preventing the pellets from crumbling into dust (fines) during transport, storage, and automated feeding.
• Eco-Friendly Sustainability: Sourced from renewably managed forests, offering a sustainable, carbon-neutral heating footprint with minimal carbon emissions.
