Procurement guide · Revised 7 October 2026
Document the sample
Record the batch, sampling location, time, packaging condition and test method. Keep the sample representative rather than selecting a few visually dry pellets.
Protect the fuel
Agree suitable packaging, dry handling and storage requirements with the supplier and your site team. Inspect deliveries for damaged packaging and visible moisture before acceptance.
Use the right energy value
Use as-received NCV in the fuel-cost tool. The tool does not estimate heating value from moisture alone and does not subtract moisture twice.
These are purchasing considerations, not a WoodPelletCN batch specification or equipment approval. Discuss final requirements with your laboratory and equipment provider.
