AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for producing biofuel from winemaking waste face limitations due to a narrow raw material base and low consumer characteristics of the resulting pellets, such as ash deposits and high content of coloring compounds that clog filters and chimneys.
A method involving aqueous vacuum extraction of grape pomace at specific ratios and conditions to remove aromatic and coloring substances, followed by grinding, moistening, molding, and cutting into cylindrical granules, ensuring a solid fraction free of these substances, which is then formed into pellets.
The method enhances the combustion efficiency and reduces environmental impact by preventing ash deposits, improving the consumer qualities of the pellets and expanding the production methods for winemaking waste biofuel.
