MORE ENERGETIC BIOFUEL
WITH THE NEW POTENTIALIZER
OF SWISS GROUP OF COMPANIES
SWISS GROUP OF COMPANIES has developed a new technology for dehydrating
biomass through a dryer which uses electromagnetic radiation to draw out the
inner water from the cells of wood, agricultural and organic products thus
increasing their calorific contents in a few minutes. The dryer is capable of
dropping down the moisture to 6% and makes the biofuel so inflammable that it
substitutes fossile fuel into the furnaces of electricity plants, sugar-cane mills, paper
industries and others. This new system of increasing the energy of biofuel will be
placed into the market in 2010 and it will offer several important advantages: more
inflammability, more energetic power, more kilowatt per hour, less quantity of
biofuel, less corrosion of furnaces, less waste of time, more financial rentability.
Potentialized Wood-chip Potentialized Pellet
The electricity used for drying this material is insignificant if compared with the
electricity which will be generated by the potentialized biomass. The dryer is built
according to the buyer’s needs of production. In principle, we offer two basic sizes:
a) SMALL SIZE, measuring approx. 9m long, 3m large and 2,75m high.
Capacity per hour: 10 tons for wood-chips and 15 tons/h for agricultural biomass.
We are now developing an optimization of this capacity which varies according to
the moisture, density and weight of each single material.
b) BIG SIZE, measuring approximately 18m long, 3m large and 2,75m high.
Capacity per hour: 20 tons for wood-chips and 30 tons/h for agricultural biomass.
Here too the numbers are likely to change because we are developing a
maximization of the dryer’s performance.

BIG SIZE : 18m LONG, approx. 3m LARGE, approx. 9m28cm high
Approx.20tons p/hour (wood-chips)
ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
The drier works with electricity of 380 volts. The electricity consumption will be of approximately 60KWh/
100KWh for drying 2 tons/h of wood-chips that can yield around 3.825,581 KWh (4.700Kcal/Kg). The relation
“consumption-generation” of electricity is therefore 100KWh(consumption) versus 3.825,581KWh
NOTE: here we have not considered other electricity costs, like conveyor belt, pannel control, several
motors of the entire structure of the workshop. Nevertheless, the difference between consumption-yield of
KWh will always be extremely favourable.

POTENTIALIZER DRYER MADE
BY SWISS GROUP OF COMPANIES
Dryer’s Patent: MU 8700836 0 - Technology Patent: 018070055469
Construction of a microwaves dryer patented by Swiss Group of Companies. It is the first dryer of this kind in the market
and it offers several advantages, especially the advantage of a)dehydrating biomass in a few hours and b) increasing the
inner calorific content of the material so as to produce a very inflammable biofuel. The electricity consumed for
dehydrating the biomass is by far inferior to the electricity that the dehydrated biomass will generate.
Wood-chips are conveyed by a conveyor belt Final format of the Potentializer Dryer
measuring 2,40m large.

Advantages of the Potentializer Dryer
For a power plant ,it is very important to use dry biomass (wood-chips or agricultural
wastes) into a furnace, and not humid biomass, because:
a) Water causes damaging corrosion of the iron structure of the furnace
b) Good part of the biomass is lost during the burning because all the liquids are
evaporated instead of being used for the thermoelectric process, so this obliges to add more
quantity of biomass, in order to replace the evaporated liquids.
c) Dry biomass generates great advantages:
▪Less quantity of biomass for generating heat and electricity in a power plant.
▪More energetic content of the biomass because the absence of water raises the
calorific power of organic materials
▪ More quantity of electricity production with the same volume of biomass
▪ Only 5% of water evaporation because the drier drops the moisture down to 5%
(from initial 50% to final 5%) .
▪ Less deforestation because with the same quantities of biomass we can produce
the double of energy content (see tables annexed hereto)
▪ Less toxic pollution with fossile fuels, like mineral coal, since dehydrated
Biomass reaches the same calorific power of coal and does not emit toxines like
coal does (see table annexed hereto).
▪ Less harming contamination of agricultural garbage because millions of annual
wastes can be transformed into “clean” and energetic biomassl (by sterilization
and dehydration)instead of laying on the floor like real mountains of toxic
elements during their organic decomposition.
▪ Entitlement to Carbon Credits on replacing mineral coal and other fossile fuels by
“clean” fuel.
▪ No corrosion of the furnaces by using wet biomass and no expenditures for
repairing iron structures
▪ No expenses for building new bigger cavities and structures of the furnaces because
the quantities of biomass are not high (thanks to the elimination of water).
▪ Less quantity of biomass means less diesel pollution with trucks transportation and
less diesel and oil use for the production machines and structures.

ADVANTAGES IN NUMBERS
SWS POTENTIALIZER DRIER
For a Power Plant, the advantages of using a Potentializer Drier are shown below. See below the economy
that a Power Plant will do with potentialized wood-chips generating electricity.
1. LESS QUANTITY OF BIOMASS IS IMPORTANT
a) thanks to the dryer, a power plant can use wood-chips fuel in quite less quantities and reduce the expenses.
b) Power plants use fossil fuels that are strongly energetic and don’t need big space into the furnace. Therefore,
biomass cannot be of high quantities because it obliges to make expensive repairs to enlarge the cavity and all
the structure of the furnace.
c) Wet biomass causes a loss into the power plant furnace because the quantity of moisture is not put to use for the
production of electricity since it is evaporated instead of contributing into the thermoelectric process, so the
percentage of moisture must be replaced by additional wood-chip.
d) Moisture damages the furnace because of water corrosion on the iron of the thermoelectric structure.

2. More Calorific Power
a ) The calorific power of the biomass depends on the absence of moisture because water is a delayer
of fire, so the lesser moisture the higher inflammability of the biomass.
b) The higher the calorific power of biomass the more they can compete with fossile fuel that are
very energetic. Coal for power plants fuel has 4.600 Kcal/Kg but dry eucalyptus Saligna has
even more, an average of 4.700 Kcal/Kg (from 4.580 Kcal/Kg to 4.889Kcal/Kg

4 . TIME SAVING
the Potentializer Dryer drops down the biomass moisture in only a few minutes while it
would take months to dry the material in the open air. Time is precious and each single
hour of the dryer’s performance means 2 or 3 tons of biomass that could feed a
thermoelectric furnace and generate from 3.825,581KWh to 5.738,372 KWh, namely from
2.754.418,32 KW/month to 4.131,627,84 KW/month.
