Sažetak
Plum is one of the major fruit crops in Croatia, and the reasons are that can be used for many purposes: for fresh consumption, drying, processing into sweet products, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. After processing the plums a significant amount of organic waste remains, that can be used as an energy source. The appropriate method of waste treatment is pelleting. Pelleting is a thermoplastic process of shaping by embossing, where the raw materials of higher density, smaller volume is obtained that is suitable for storage and transportation. Produced pellets of seeds in combination with wood biomass have a higher energy value, and therefore can replace a larger amount of energy. Pellet production from plum processing waste and wood biomass is economically, technologically and environmentally acceptable. The share of biomass pits should not be higher than 20%. Major financial parameters point to profit, but the total cost does not include costs of energy and the cost of equipment purchase.
