Energy crops are plants that are specially cultivated for direct use as a fuel or for the production of biofuels .  The by-products of vegetable origin (straw, sunflower husk, corn stalks, etc.), as well as specially designed plants - miskanthus, mitechgrus (gooseberry millet), willow, poplar may be the source of energy raw materials.</p> <p>The tendency of traditional fuels rising prices gives impetus to the use of solid fuel boilers on biomass not only in the private sector, but also in the municipal heat supply industry. When choosing the shape of solid biomass, it must be taken into account its value and availability in the region, as well as technical availability of solutions and equipment for its combustion.</p> <p>This paper presents the results of experimental studies of crushed miskanthus filtration drying dynamics. The main technical characteristics (bulk density, porosity, equivalent diameter) of crushed miskanthus are given. The dependence of the drying rate of crushed miskanthus on its humidity is shown and the dependence of filtration drying on the technological parameters of the heat agent and the height of the material layer is analyzed. It is shown that the rate of filtration drying in the period of full saturation of the thermal agent in the moisture vapor does not depend on the height of the crushed miskanthus layer.</p>}, number={2(20)}, journal={Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resources}, author={Mosiuk, M. and Mykhailiuk, Yu. and Plaksii, L.}, year={2020}, month={Feb.}, pages={112–117} }
