Abstract
A biomass fuel production plant includes: a drying heat source that generates a heat medium; a drying device that uses the heat medium supplied from the drying heat source to heat and dry wood biomass; a carbonized product production device that is configured to perform pyrolysis of the dried wood biomass to produce a carbonized product; a bulk density measurement device that measures a bulk density of the carbonized product discharged from the carbonized product production device; and a control device that controls a heat quantity of the heat medium supplied to the wood biomass in the drying device. The control device includes an LHV calculation unit that is configured to calculate the LHV of the carbonized product from the bulk density, and controls the heat quantity of the heat medium supplied to the wood biomass in the drying device on the basis of the calculated LHV.
