Wood Chips

We operate in the production and sale of wood chips to feed the production of pulp and energy in the global market.

Our main focus is the acquisition of raw material from micro and small rural properties and this practice is in line with our socio-environmental concern: preserving the environment, generating wealth and producing raw material and energy for the world.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

What does BDMT mean?

BDMT (Bone dry metric tons) is a unit of measurement used to determine the dry mass, in tons, of chips. It is the total mass of chips, discounting the mass of water contained, as a function of material moisture.

We use two internationally recognized methodologies for chip particle size analysis, they are: SCAN-CM 40:01 and TAPPI UM 21.

Often, the basic density found is between 550 kg/m³ and 650 kg/m³, following the SCAN-CM 43:95 methodology. However, the density of Acacia chips can vary depending on the age of the forest from which the wood was removed.
