Given the significant increase in the price of wood pellets, the use of pellets made from corn waste makes it possible to significantly reduce heating costs. In terms of calorific value, corn pellets are almost as good as wood pellets, but this is compensated by their much lower cost. One of the disadvantages can be considered a higher ash content (approximately 6-7.5%) compared to wood pellets. Tests on the burning of agricultural pellets proved that it is not prone to sintering, so combustion takes place in full.

Given that the main users of this type of fuel are private households, the enterprise produces pellets with a diameter of 6 mm, which allows it to be used in most solid fuel boilers operating on pellets. Granules from corn waste are a by-product of the production of maltose molasses; they consist ofgrain processing corn products.
