The company claims that on the receiving end, unload time for bulk harvested material improved 21% over the previous harvest, averaging eight minutes and 16 seconds and the fastest unload time was five minutes.
Genera Energy used self-propelled field harvesters to harvest, handle, and move feedstock by introducing crop harvesting improvements for large-scale biomass production.
The new processes included a commercially-viable method to bulk harvest biomass crops using existing and new technologies, and in-field chopping with forage harvesters.
Genera Energy CEO and president Kelly Tiller said through research, development and field-testing on a smaller scale, the company knew that the new operations and logistical innovations had the potential to offer a better improvement opportunities over current biomass harvesting techniques.
"However, the launch of our new in-field harvesting systems were far more successful than we expected, well above comparable baseline measurable," Tiller said.
The company said its systems have also improved the quality of delivered product.
