Description

  The present invention relates to a biomass fuel ordering system including palm kernel shell (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "PKS").

  With the enforcement of the Renewable Energy Special Measures Act, the biomass of renewable energy such as tree trunks and branches, cutting chips, burk chips, sawdust, bark, building scraps, etc., for power generation boilers and cement clinker baking equipment Development of technology to use as an alternative fuel is in progress. In particular, utilization of biomass derived from palm oil industry in Malaysia and Indonesia is actively promoted from the viewpoint of quantity stability and calorific value.

  For example, palm coconut shell, which is a by-product generated in the process of producing palm oil, (i) has a major diameter of 5 mm to 40 mm and has a size suitable for handling without processing (ii) calorific value of 4000 kcal / kg It exhibits various properties such as (iii) high content of repellent components as fuel such as chlorine and alkali metal components, and (iv) low content of ash at the time of firing, so that good quality woody biomass is obtained. It is being used as fuel.

  By the way, the fuel is required to have stable supply. Because of the above-mentioned circumstances, PKS can be obtained in Southeast Asia regions such as Malaysia and Indonesia, so for Japan, mass transportation using ships is usually adopted. However, for example, it takes about 10 days for shipping from the above-mentioned area to Japan, so it is appropriate in Japan that it will not affect the PKS demander even if a distribution trouble etc. occur. A large logistics base that can store the quantity of PKS is required. In addition, an ordering system for efficiently supplying PKS to PKS customers from such a distribution base is required.

  As a prior art regarding the ordering system of woody biomass fuel, the following patent documents 1 are mentioned, for example. In this patent document 1, when using a coal-woody biomass mixed fuel in which woody biomass (carved wood, sugar cane, oil palm, rice husk, etc.) and coal are mixed, a fuel collection and sales company Coal / woody biomass mixed fuel that sells coal / woody biomass mixed fuel blended with coal according to the conditions (type of woody biomass, mixing ratio of coal and woody biomass, burning calories, etc.) required by fuel users Systems and methods for the collection and sale of

JP 2007-58440 A

  By the way, since PKS contains various large amounts of fatty acids including lower fatty acids such as caprylic acid and capric acid, it is necessary to take measures against odor when dealing with PKS in a large amount. As measures against such odor, for example, a method of drying the PKS to reduce the moisture content, a method of mixing a wood chip or a wood pellet having a function of adsorbing odor, and the like can be considered. However, since the calorific value of PKS obtained by executing these odor control changes from the calorific value of PKS initially supplied by the PKS supplier, quality control as fuel is important in the implementation of the odor control. It becomes. That is, in order to utilize PKS as a biomass fuel, it is necessary to have a technique for quality control so that the quality (heat generation amount) as fuel does not vary while taking necessary odor measures.

  However, the system and method for collecting and selling coal-woody biomass mixed fuel disclosed in Patent Document 1 is limited to the technology related to information processing for matching purchase request information on the consumer side and inventory information on the supplier side. There is. For this reason, the quality of woody biomass fuel including the problem of odor peculiar to PKS as described above is not considered.

  The PKS consumer usually orders the necessary quantity from the PKS supplier, but as the PKS delivered based on this order, the guaranteed value of calorific value is satisfied, there is no contamination of foreign matter, unpleasant odor It is premised that the basic quality specifications that it does not occur are satisfied. Therefore, if the delivered PKS emits an offensive odor, the PKS consumer may need to temporarily make a supplementary order to another PKS supplier after declining the delivery.

  Further, when the PKS demander requires the above-mentioned temporary order or PKS of the quality specification different from that of the conventionally received product, a transaction with a new PKS supplier may be required. However, since it is necessary to confirm the quality of the PKS supplied by the new PKS supplier at the beginning of the transaction, it is necessary to actually start using the PKS even if the new PKS supplier can be secured. It takes more time than usual.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the supply of PKS described above, and it is a PKS consumer that satisfies the quality and quantity required by the PKS consumer without imposing an excessive burden on the PKS consumer side. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ordering system capable of stably supplying

  The biomass fuel ordering system (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “order ordering system”) including palm coconut shell according to the present invention includes a management server, a consumer terminal, and an in-base terminal. The management server has a function of monitoring the stock status of biomass fuel at the fuel management base.

  The fuel management base is a facility that receives and stores the PKS supplied from the PKS supplier (PKS supply location). Here, when the PKS supplier supplies PKS alone as a raw material of biomass fuel, that is, PKS (PKS with fibers) in a state with a whisker-like fiber portion attached, or the fiber portion is removed. It is assumed that the state PKS (defibrillated PKS) is supplied. Since the fiber part has an extremely strong odor, it is not appropriate to store the PKS with the fiber part attached. For this reason, the fuel management base has a separation facility for removing the fiber portion when the fiber-attached PKS is supplied.

  In addition, PKS (Defibrillated PKS) in which the fiber part having a very strong odor has been removed also exhibits an odor that can be shipped to the consumer as it is (hereinafter referred to as "deliverable odor"). It is assumed that deodorizing treatment is required before shipment because the odor is so severe that it can not be shipped. In the present specification, a defibrillated PKS that meets a deliverable odor is referred to as a "product PKS", and a defibrillated PKS that does not meet a deliverable odor is referred to as a "receiving PKS."

  The fuel management base is equipped with a deodorizing treatment facility for deodorizing the receiving PKS. At the time of this deodorizing treatment, a utilization fuel made of a wood material other than palm coconut shell is used. As such utilization fuel, for example, wood chips or wood pellets of tree species having a deodorizing effect such as cedar, cypress, larch, red pine, cherry etc. can be adopted. That is, the fuel management base performs a deodorizing process in the base with respect to a PKS (defibrillated PKS) that exhibits a strong odor to the extent that it can not be shipped as it is, thereby converting it into a product PKS that exhibits a shippable odor. have. In addition, utilization fuel may be called "chip etc." below.

  The product PKS storage site is a storage facility for storing the product PKS separately according to the calorific value. The receiving PKS site is a storage facility that stores the receiving PKS. The fuel storage area is a storage facility that stores fuel (chips, etc.) separately according to the amount of heat generated. That is, in the fuel management base, the management server of the ordering system according to the present invention uses the stock quantity of the product PKS stored in the product PKS storage area, the stock quantity of the reception PKS stored in the reception PKS storage area, and uses It has a function to monitor the stock quantity of used fuel stored in the fuel depot.

  The consumer terminal is a terminal capable of inputting information (first order information) on the required calorific value and the required quantity of the product PKS required by the consumer from the consumer side to the management server. The in-base terminal is a terminal to which instruction information relating to the shipping process and / or the deodorizing process in the fuel management base is transmitted from the management server, and for example, a terminal which a worker at the fuel management base can check appropriately. .

  The management server is configured by, for example, a general-purpose computer having an arithmetic processing function and a storage function. The consumer terminal and the in-base terminal are configured by, for example, a portable computer such as a smartphone in addition to a general-purpose computer. The management server may exist in the site of the fuel management base, or may exist in a place away from the site of the fuel management base.

  The management server has a storage unit. This storage unit contains information on the inventory quantity by calorific value of the product PKS stored in the product PKS storage area (first inventory quantity information) and information on the inventory quantity of the reception PKS stored in the reception PKS storage area (2) Inventory quantity information) and information (third inventory quantity information) on the inventory quantity according to the calorific value of the used fuel stored in the used fuel storage place. That is, the management server stores the quantity of biomass fuel (product PKS) satisfying the distributable odor (product PKS) currently stored in the fuel management base and the biomass fuel not meeting the distributable odor (reception PKS) And the calorific value of the fuel used for the deodorization processing of the receiving PKS.

  The management server includes an inventory determination unit. The stock determination unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware. When the first order information is transmitted from the customer terminal, the inventory judgment unit generates heat described in the first order information based on the inventory quantity of the product PKS classified by calorific value currently stored by the fuel management base. Determine if quantity and quantity of product PKS can be shipped. Here, as described above, in the storage unit of the management server, in addition to the information (first stock quantity information) of the stock quantity according to the calorific value of the product PKS, the information (second stock quantity) of the stock quantity of the received PKS Information), information on inventory quantities by the calorific value of the used fuel (third inventory quantity information) is also stored. For this reason, temporarily, the stock quantity of the product PKS which satisfies the demand calorific value of the demander (hereinafter, may be described as “PKS demander”) is insufficient for the demand quantity of the PKS demander Even if the receiving PKS is deodorized at the deodorizing facility provided in the fuel management base, the PKS consumer can be converted to a product PKS satisfying the calorific value required by the PKS, and the PKS consumer can satisfy the required quantity. is there.

  The inventory judgment unit reads the first inventory quantity information, the second inventory quantity information, and the third inventory quantity information from the storage section in consideration of such a viewpoint, and the heat generation amount required of the PKS consumer from the fuel management base at the present time And it is determined by calculation whether it is possible to ship the product PKS which satisfies the required quantity.

  The management server includes a shipping deodorizing instruction creation unit. The shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware. When the stock judging unit judges that shipment of the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value and the required quantity of the PKS demander from the fuel management base is possible, the shipping deodorizing instruction preparing unit instructs the in-base terminal to It has a function to transmit information on the quantity of product PKS that needs to be prepared for shipment, and / or the quantity of acceptance PKS that needs to be deodorized and the quantity of fuel used. Note that the shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit may send together the required calorific value information described in the first order information to the in-base terminal.

  As an example, there may be a case where the product PKS currently stored by the fuel management base can meet the demand of the PKS consumer. In such a case, the shipping and deodorizing instruction creating unit transmits only information (first consumption quantity information) on the quantity to prepare for shipment to the in-base terminal according to the calorific value of the product PKS. At this time, on the fuel management base side, when the first consumption quantity information is received at the in-base terminal, the requested quantity is shipped for the product PKS stored in the specific PKS storage area for each calorific value based on this information. You can do the work you need to do.

  As another example, although the stock quantity of the product PKS at the present time does not meet the required quantity of the PKS customer, the deodorization processing is performed using the stocking used fuel with respect to the stock receiving PKS. It is conceivable that the demand quantity of the PKS demander can be exceeded. In such a case, the shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit obtains information on the quantity of the received PKs necessary for the deodorizing process (second consumption quantity information) and obtains the target calorific value by executing the deodorizing process. The information (third consumption quantity information) on the quantity of the calorific value of the used fuel necessary for the purpose is transmitted to the in-base terminal together with the required calorific value and the first consumption quantity information as required. At this time, on the side of the fuel management base, when the terminal in the base receives the information, the consumption PKS for the quantity based on the information is consumed using the use fuel of the quantity for each calorific value based on the information. Deodorization can be performed in the odor treatment facility.

  The management server comprises an inventory update unit. The inventory update unit is an arithmetic processing unit that performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware. When the stock removal unit transmits at least one or more of the first consumption quantity information, the second consumption quantity information, and the third consumption quantity information described above to the fuel management base, the shipping deodorizing instruction creating section makes these information And at least one of the first stock quantity information, the second stock quantity information, and the third stock quantity information stored in the storage unit. As a result, the storage unit included in the management server stores the latest information on the product PKS for each calorific value currently stored by the fuel management base, the acceptance PKS, and the stock quantity of the used fuel per calorific value. .

  That is, according to the present system, the PKS consumer can stably secure the product PKS fuel satisfying the required calorific value and the required quantity without transmitting the order information individually to the PKS supplier. In particular, by storing the product PKS, the receiving PKS and the fuel used in the fuel management base, it is possible to buffer the distribution uncertainty caused by long distance distribution etc. by the storage capacity of the fuel management base. , And stable supply to PKS consumers.

  In addition, even when the inventory quantity of the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value is insufficient at the fuel management base, the required deodorization processing is appropriately performed to satisfy the required quantity of the PKS consumer. Can.

The management server is configured to generate the calorific value of the product PKS obtained by performing the deodorizing process based on the quantity of the receiving PKS used for the deodorizing process and the quantity according to the calorific value of the using fuel. And a deodorization result calculation unit that calculates quantity by calculation,
The inventory determination unit is capable of the shipment of the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value and the required quantity described in the first order information based on the calculation result of the deodorizing result calculation unit It may be determined whether or not by calculation.

  The deodorization result calculation unit is a calculation processing unit that performs predetermined calculation processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware. According to the above configuration, when the stock quantity of the product PKS currently stored by the fuel management base does not meet the required quantity of the PKS customer, the quantity of used fuel is used according to the calorific value, and the receiving PKS It is possible to calculate how much the product PKS which satisfies the required calorific value can be generated by performing deodorizing processing on the management server side.

  As an example, the deodorization result calculation unit determines the deodorization processing based on the sum of the number of received PKS subjected to the deodorization processing and the number of fuels used for each calorific value subjected to the deodorization processing. It is possible to calculate the quantity of the product PKS having a predetermined calorific value obtained by being applied.

The management server calculates the calorific value and quantity of the product PKS generated by mixing the product PKS of different calorific value based on the quantity of the product PKS according to calorific value, product mixing Equipped with a result calculation unit,
The inventory determination unit is capable of the shipment of the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value and the required quantity described in the first order information based on the calculation result of the product mixing result calculation unit It may be determined whether or not by calculation.

  The product mixing result calculation unit is a calculation processing unit that performs predetermined calculation processing based on the acquired information, and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware. For example, a product PKS having a calorific value optimum for the calorific value required by the PKS consumer is not sufficiently stocked in the product PKS storage area, but a product PKS having a calorific value higher than the calorific value required. It is conceivable that a sufficient quantity of product PKS having a calorific value lower than the required calorific value is stocked in the product PKS storage area. At this time, there may be a case where the required calorific value and the required quantity can be satisfied by mixing the high calorific value product PKS and the low calorific value product PKS. The product mixing result calculation unit can calculate what calorific value of the product PKS can be produced by mixing the product PKS having different calorific values with each other. The possibility of shipping the product PKS satisfying the order content to the PKS demander is further enhanced by determining whether the stock determination unit can ship based on the calculation result of the product mixing result calculation unit.

The ordering system comprises a supplier terminal configured to be able to communicate with the management server,
The first order information includes information on requested delivery date,
The management server is

A provider extraction unit for extracting one or more suppliers capable of supplying at least one type of fiber attached PKS to the fuel management base;
A first shortage quantity, which is an amount of the product PKS for each calorific value additionally required to satisfy the calorific value and the required quantity described in the first order information, the first order information The second required quantity which is the quantity of the acceptance PKS necessary for the deodorizing treatment performed to satisfy the required calorific value described and the required quantity, and the quantity of the utilization fuel according to the calorific value according to the second (Iii) a shortage quantity calculation unit which calculates by calculation the fourth shortage quantity, which is the quantity of the PKS with fibers for obtaining the acceptance PKS of the third shortage quantity and the second shortage quantity;
In the supplier extraction unit, second order information including at least one of the first shortage quantity, the second shortage quantity, the third deficiency quantity, and the fourth deficiency quantity, and the supply due date is created. It does not matter as what is provided with the counter supplier ordering part which transmits with respect to the said supplier terminal which the said supplier managed extracted.

  The ordering system with the above configuration includes a supplier terminal. The supplier terminal is an operation terminal managed by a supplier (a fuel manufacturing place or a fuel management base different from the fuel management base), and is constituted by, for example, a general-purpose computer or a smartphone. In addition, when a supplier is another fuel management base, a supplier terminal may be comprised by the management server which this other fuel management base manages. Here, the supplier can be a person who can supply PKS (including PKS with fiber and defibrillated PKS) to the fuel management base (including the business operator. The same shall apply hereinafter) and a chip etc. It includes those who can supply the fuel used to the fuel management base.

  The supplier extraction unit, the shortage quantity calculation unit, and the supplier ordering unit included in the management server are arithmetic processing units that perform predetermined arithmetic processing based on the acquired information, and are dedicated software and / or hardware. It consists of

  Even if the inventory judgment unit has stock quantities of the product PKS, acceptance PKS and fuel used (chips etc.) stored by the fuel management base, the shipment corresponding to the required calorific value and the required quantity specified by the PKS consumer is It may be determined that it can not be done.

  In such a case, according to the above configuration, the supplier extraction unit first sends the fuel management base to the fuel management base within a period satisfying the required delivery date specified by the PKS demander, that is, a period shorter than the required delivery date. Suppliers who can supply the product PKS (for example, another fuel management base) are extracted. Next, in the shortage quantity calculation unit, the required calorific value specified by the PKS demander and the quantity required for the calorific value of the product PKS additionally required to satisfy the required quantity, and / or used for deodorizing treatment The number of received PKS (or the number of PKS with fiber) and the number of calorific value of fuel used are calculated. Then, the supplier ordering unit extracts the supplier order information (second order information) indicating that the quantity corresponding to the shortage quantity of the PKS or the used fuel is to be supplied to the fuel management base within the delivery date. Transmit to a supplier (eg, another fuel management base) extracted by the department.

  In other words, according to the above configuration, when the product PKS, the received PKS, and the stock quantity of fuel used stored by the fuel management base at the time of ordering from the PKS consumer can not meet the PKS consumer's requested quantity. Even if there is, a supplier capable of supplying PKS or fuel to be used within a predetermined delivery date automatically to the fuel management base is selected, and ordering processing is performed. This further increases the possibility of shipping a product PKS that satisfies the order content to the PKS consumer.

The storage unit is
Processing time information on the deodorizing processing time required to obtain the product PKS by performing the deodorizing processing on the receiving PKS in the deodorizing processing facility;
Storing, for each of the suppliers, transport time information on the transport time required to transport the fuel from the base of the supplier to the fuel management base;
The said supplier extraction part is one or more said suppliers based on the information regarding the said required delivery date described in the said 1st order information, and the said processing time information and the said conveyance time information which were memorize | stored in the said memory | storage part. It does not matter as what is extracted.

  According to the above configuration, the supplier extraction unit is not only the supplier (other fuel management base) capable of supplying the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value within the delivery date, but also the deodorizing treatment facility in the fuel management base. It is possible to extract the receiving PKS or the PKS with fibers capable of producing the product PKS satisfying the required calorific value and the supplier capable of supplying the used fuel within the delivery date, taking into consideration the time for deodorizing treatment. As a result, even if the demand quantity of the customer is not satisfied with the stock quantity of the product PKS, the acceptance PKS and the used fuel stored by the fuel management base when ordered from the customer, This further increases the possibility of shipping product fuel that fulfills the order content.

  The storage unit may store information (separation processing time information) about the time required for the separation processing for removing the fiber part with respect to the fiber-attached PKS in the separation facility. In this case, the supplier extraction unit may extract the supplier in consideration of separation processing time information.

The storage unit stores, for each of the suppliers, manufacturing capability information on the calorific value of the producible product PKS or the utilization fuel.
The supplier extraction unit
The required calorific value additionally required to satisfy the required calorific value described in the first order information and the required quantity among the plurality of suppliers based on the manufacturing capacity information. A product PKS and / or the required fuel described in the first order information and the used fuel satisfying the calorific value necessary for the deodorizing treatment additionally performed to satisfy the required quantity After the supply candidates who can be manufactured are extracted by operation,
Among the supply candidates, one or more of the suppliers who can supply the product PKS or the use fuel to the fuel management base within the supply delivery date may be extracted by calculation. .

  Some suppliers who supply the product PKS to the fuel management base are those who can not originally manufacture the product PKS that satisfies the specific required calorific value ordered by the specific PKS consumer (other fuel management Base) is assumed to exist. Similarly, in the first place, to manufacture the use fuel that satisfies the specific calorific value, which is used to generate the product PKS that satisfies the specific required calorific value by deodorizing the acceptance PKS. It is assumed that there is a supplier (chip supplier etc.) who can not According to the above configuration, in the storage unit of the management server, information (manufacturability information) on the calorific value of the manufacturable product PKS or the used fuel is stored in advance for each supplier. A product PKS additionally required to meet the order of a specific PKS consumer or a supplier who can not supply fuel in the first place can be eliminated regardless of the delivery date. This makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem that the supplier who is the ordering party can not cope with the ordering after the ordering of the supply of the product PKS and the used fuel to the supplier.

  The deodorizing treatment facility may include a mixing facility for mixing the receiving PKS and the utilization fuel. Furthermore, the deodorizing treatment facility may include a drying facility for drying the receiving PKS or a carbonization facility for carbonizing the receiving PKS.

The product PKS is stored in the product PKS storage space according to the calorific value divided into ranges,
The utilization fuel may be stored in the utilization fuel storage area according to the calorific value divided into ranges.

  According to the above configuration, the product PKS is stocked at the fuel management base according to the calorific value which is a common index to the required calorific value described in the order from the PKS consumer. Thereby, the inventory judgment unit can judge by a simple calculation whether the demand quantity of the PKS consumer can be satisfied by the stock quantity of the product PKS currently stocked in the fuel management base.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the used fuel is stocked at the fuel management base according to the calorific value which is a common index to the required calorific value described in the order from the PKS consumer. In this way, the inventory determination unit can determine whether the demand of the PKS demander can be satisfied by the inventory quantity of the receiving PKS currently in stock at the fuel management base and the inventory quantity of the fuel used by a simple calculation. .

  The fuel management base may be provided with an odor measurement facility for measuring the odor of the defibered PKS, and an analysis facility for analyzing the calorific value of the product PKS or the used fuel. The odor measuring equipment may be used to measure the intensity of the odor of the product PKS immediately before shipment. The analysis facility may have a function of analyzing the moisture content of the product PKS or the fuel used.

  According to this configuration, when the fiber attached PKS or the defibered PKS is carried into the fuel management base, separation processing is performed as needed in the fuel management base even if the information on the calorific value of the PKS is unknown. After this, the calorific value can be identified by analysis. In addition, the odor intensity of the defibered PKS can be determined to determine the necessity of the deodorizing treatment for the defibrillated PKS. Further, the calorific value can be specified by analyzing the product PKS obtained through the deodorizing treatment.

  In addition, when the fuel (chip or the like) is carried into the fuel management base, even if the information on the calorific value of the fuel used is unknown, the calorific value can be specified by analysis in the fuel management base. it can. The used fuel may be subjected to a drying process after being carried in, or may be one that analyzes the calorific value of chips after drying in an analysis facility.

  By these, the product PKS storage place according to the calorific value which is the storage destination of the product PKS, the receiving PKS storage place where the receiving PKS is the storage destination, and the use fuel storage place according to the calorific value where the used fuel is the storage can do.

  In particular, by providing the analysis facility for analyzing the calorific value for the product PKS and the product PKS immediately before shipment, the fuel management base transports ships, trucks, etc. for the product PKS that must be shipped immediately after processing. It is possible to check the calorific value of the processed product immediately after the processing while confirming the calorific value of the loaded product to the means, and to ship it, and the product PKS which does not satisfy the required calorific value specified by the PKS consumer. Shipping can be prevented in advance.

  The analysis equipment may be made common regardless of the distinction of the fuel to be analyzed, or may be separately provided.

  At the fuel management base, the total quantity of the product PKS that can be stored in the product PKS storage area and the number of the reception PKS that can be stored in the reception PKS storage area and the used fuel storage area and the used fuel is at least 15,000 t. Is more preferably 30,000 t or more, and particularly preferably 60,000 t or more. With such storage capacity of the fuel management base, it is possible to store, for example, the PKS that is required for several weeks in the 75 MW-class biomass power generation boiler.

First Embodiment
A first embodiment of a biomass fuel ordering system including palm coconut shell according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As described above, the "ordering system for biomass fuel including palm coconut shell" may be abbreviated as "ordering system" as appropriate.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the first embodiment of the ordering system. In FIG. 1, the flow of fuel is shown by a solid arrow and the flow of information is shown by a broken arrow. The same applies to FIG. 12 described later.

  The ordering system 1 includes a fuel management base 4 and a management server 5, as shown in FIG. The fuel management base 4 is, as will be described later, prescribed in the fuel management base 4 with fuel (PKS with fiber / defibrillated PKS / utilized fuel) supplied from the supplier 2 (2A, 2B, 2C,...) The fuel (incoming PKS / product PKS) obtained by performing the process of (1) is stored. The consumer 3 (3A, 3B, 3C,...) Is a person who needs fuel (product PKS).

  As will be described later, in the present specification, the supplier 2 (2A, 2B, 2C,...) Refers to PKS alone as a raw material of biomass fuel, ie, PKS in a state with a whisker-like fiber portion (PKS with fiber Concept, including those who supply), those who supply PKS (defibered PKS) in which the fiber part has been removed from the PKS with fibers, and those who supply fuel that is composed of chips etc. used for deodorizing treatment. It is. In addition, in this specification, a "supplier" is the concept including the place itself to supply, and the business entity (a company, a local government, etc.) which has the said place.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, as the supplier 2 (2A, 2B, 2C,...), Another fuel management having the same function as the fuel management base 4 in addition to the PKS manufacturing place 102A. A base (first fuel management base 102B) or a chip or other manufacturing place 102C may be included. Examples of the PKS production site 102A include a site where PKS is by-produced (for example, a palm oil production site), an entity having the palm oil production site, and the like. Chip production site 102C is, for example, a processing site for processing low-quality materials generated in mountain readjustment such as forest residues and thinning materials into cutting chips or bales, residual materials and sawdust generated from lumber factories, etc. Or the processing plant which manufactures a wood pellet, the waste processing plant which manufactures a wood chip or a wood pellet from wood waste materials, such as a construction waste material generated at the time of house dismantling, and a used pallet, etc. are mentioned.

  Palm coconut shell (PKS) is an endocarp (Endocarp) that wraps a nucleus (Kernel) generated as a by-product in palm kernel oil (Palm Kernel Oil) production, and takes out a kernel (Kernel) contained in oil extraction of palm kernel oil Most of the shells are broken in half to go through the process. As mentioned above, PKS has a size with a major axis of 5 mm to 40 mm, a calorific value of 4000 kcal / kg or more, and a corresponding mechanical strength, and globally it generates 10 million tons or more annually. There is an excellent biomass fuel. Furthermore, the carbonized PKS obtained by carbonization (low temperature carbonization) in a low temperature range (200 ° C. to 300 ° C.) has a calorific value of 5500 kcal / kg or more. In addition, the calorific value (heat generation quantity) in this description means the true heat generation quantity (low-order heat generation quantity) described in JIS Z 7302-2 "Waste solidified fuel-part 2: heat generation quantity test method".

  In this specification, as the consumer 3 (3A, 3B, 3C,...), As shown in FIG. 3, another fuel management having the same function as the fuel management base 4 in addition to the PKS utilization place 103A. A base (second fuel management base 103B) may be included. The PKS utilization site 103A is a concept including a business entity having such a power plant as well as a site (for example, a biomass power plant etc.) where PKS is actually used.

  The first fuel management base 102B and the second fuel management base 103B are bases capable of transporting the fuel such as the product PKS with the fuel management base 4 within a predetermined transport time.

  The management server 5 has a function of monitoring the stock status of the fuel stored in the fuel management base 4 (more specifically, the product PKS, the acceptance PKS, and the fuel to be described later). Further, when the management server 5 receives the order information on the fuel transmitted from the consumer 3, the management server 5 creates information including an instruction such as shipping as described later and transmits the information to the fuel management base 4. More specifically, the management server 5 is shipped to the in-base terminal 4 p installed in the fuel management base 4 or carried by a worker who performs work in the fuel management base 4. Send information including instructions of

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the fuel management base 4. The fuel management base 4 shown in FIG. 4 includes a receiving facility 31, a receiving PKS storage 32, a used fuel storage 33, a product PKS storage 34, a shipping facility 35, an analysis facility 41, a separation facility 42, and an odor measurement. The equipment 43 and the deodorizing equipment 44 are provided. A detailed description of the configuration of the fuel management base 4 will be described later.

  Among the facilities included in the fuel management base 4, the separation facility 42 and the deodorizing treatment facility 44 will be described first.

  As described above, since PKS contains many large amounts of fatty acids including lower fatty acids such as caprylic acid and capric acid, it may emit an unpleasant odor, so when handling a large amount of PKS as a biomass fuel Needs the PKS's deodorizing measures. The separation facility 42 and the deodorizing treatment facility 44 are facilities that are mainly subjected to the treatment for the purpose of deodorizing such PKS.

  The separation facility 42 is a facility for removing the fiber part from the PKS (PKS with fiber) in a state where the fiber part with a whisker shape is attached. The PKS comprises the shell and a fiber section extending like a whisker from the end of the shell, from which the unpleasant odor is strongly emitted. Therefore, by removing the fiber portion from the PKS with fibers, the odor intensity generated from the PKS can be reduced by about 30%. Specifically, it can be removed using a sieve with an opening of 0.6 mm to 11.2 mm, a wind-powered sorter or the like. The separation facility 42 is configured of one or more of these separation devices. In addition, the intensity | strength of the odor in this description means the blank-corrected instruction | indication value of a metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor.

  Even if it is PKS (defibrillation PKS) from which the fiber part was removed in separation equipment 42, odor may still be high. As described above, among defibrillated PKSs, those showing a strong odor to such an extent that they can not be shipped as they are correspond to “receiving PKS”. On the other hand, what shows the odor within the range of a shippable odor among defibrillated PKS respond | corresponds to "product PKS."

  Wood chips such as cedar, cypress, larch, red pine, cherry, etc. and wood pellets (chips etc.) have the effect of strongly emitting a desirable odor or absorbing unpleasant odors by absorbing offensive odors, and at least 3500 kcal / kg It has a calorific value. The deodorizing treatment equipment 44 has equipment for producing biomass fuel having a calorific value almost equal to that of PKS, in which generation of unpleasant odor is suppressed, by mixing these chips and the like with defibrillated PKS. More specifically, the deodorizing treatment equipment 44 can mix the chips and the like with PKS, and the mixing equipment 44a capable of mixing PKS: chips and the like in a mass ratio of more than 100: 0 to 100: 100 or less (see FIG. Can be included. In addition, said chip etc. respond | correspond to the utilization fuel mentioned later.

  The deodorizing treatment equipment 44 may include the drying equipment 44 b and the carbonization equipment 44 c (see FIG. 8 described later). The higher the moisture content, the stronger the odor emitted from the shell and the fiber part constituting the PKS, and the relationship between the moisture content and the odor is reversible. Therefore, the moisture content is preferably 8% by mass or less, more preferably 6% by mass or less, still more preferably 2% by performing heat drying treatment or low temperature carbonization treatment on PKS in the deodorizing treatment facility 44. The odor may be reduced by setting the content to less than 10%. In this case, it is preferable to take measures against water wetting or the like so that the moisture content of the PKS after drying does not increase. Here, the odor intensity at a moisture content of 8% by mass is a level at which people can tolerate discomfort, and at a moisture content of 2% by mass, the odor is hardly felt.

  The moisture content in this description refers to the method according to JIS Z 7302-3 "Waste solidified fuel-Part 3: Moisture test method", that is, when the sample is dried by heating at 107 ± 2 ° C for 1 hour The percentage by mass of the mass difference before and after drying. Further, since the calorific value increases as the water content of PKS decreases, the method of deodorizing by reducing the water content of PKS also serves as a reforming method for raising the calorific value of PKS. There is.

  In addition, also when mixing the utilization fuel containing wood chips and wood pellets with PKS (defibrillation PKS) for deodorization, the deodorizing effect becomes better as the moisture content of the utilization fuel is lower. Furthermore, since the calorific value increases as the water content of the fuel used decreases, the fuel containing chips and the like mixed with PKS preferably has a low water content after drying and the like. Therefore, in the deodorizing treatment equipment 44, the used fuel mixed with the PKS may be the one in which the drying treatment is performed in advance.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing one configuration example of the management server 5. 6 to 7 and 9 to 11 are flowcharts for explaining an example of the flow of processing in the ordering system 1. In the following description, the reference numerals of the respective steps described in the flowcharts shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 to FIG. Further, the detailed configuration of the fuel management base 4 shown in FIG. 4 and the detailed configuration of the management server 5 shown in FIG. 5 will be described together with the description of the process flow in the ordering system 1.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the ordering system 1, a storage step SA, an order receiving step SB, and a shipping step SC are executed. In step SA, PKS (fiber-attached PKS / defibrillated PKS [transferred from supplier 2 (more specifically, PKS production site 102A, first fuel management base 102B, chip etc. production site 102C, etc .: see FIG. 2) This is a step of receiving the acceptance PKS / product PKS] or the fuel used (chip etc.) in the fuel management base 4 and storing it in the fuel management base 4. Step SB is a step of performing arithmetic processing in the management server 5 based on the order information transmitted from the consumer 3 (more specifically, the PKS utilization place 103A, the second fuel management base 103B, etc .: see FIG. 3) It is. Step SC is a step of shipping the product PKS from the fuel management base 4 to the consumer 3 based on the order information transmitted from the consumer 3.

  That is, the storage step SA corresponds to the process executed in the fuel management base 4 regardless of whether the fuel (product PKS) is ordered from the customer 3 through the ordering system 1 or not. On the other hand, step SB and step SC are processes performed after an order for fuel (product PKS) is made from the customer 3 through the ordering system 1. More specifically, after the predetermined arithmetic processing is performed in the management server 5 based on the contents of the order of fuel (product PKS) made from the customer 3 through the ordering system 1, the step SC is performed by the management server 5 And the shipping process of the fuel (product PKS) executed in the fuel management base 4 based on the information transmitted from the.

<< storage step SA >>
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing included in step SA shown in FIG.

(Step SA10, Step SA11)
As described above, the fuel management base 4 receives the PKS (fiber-attached PKS / defibered PKS [receiving PKS / PKS / fibers] transported from the supplier 2 (more specifically, the PKS production site 102A or the first fuel management base 102B). Product PKS]) is received at the receiving facility 31.

(Step SA20, Step SA21)
In addition, the fuel management base 4 receives, at the receiving facility 31, the utilization fuel (chip or the like) transported from the supplier 2 (more specifically, the chip or other manufacturing place 102C, or the first fuel management base 102B).

  The receiving facility 31 preferably includes a receiving facility for marine transportation 31a and a receiving facility for land transportation 31b. The receiving facility for marine transportation 31a is the fuel management base 4 side of the fuel (PKS with fiber / Defibrillated PKS [receiving PKS / product PKS] / utilizing fuel) transported from the supplier 2 by the marine transportation means such as a ship. It is a facility to accept at. The land transportation receiving facility 31b is a fuel transported by land transportation means represented by a transport vehicle such as a truck from the supplier 2 (PK with fiber / Defibering PKS [receiving PKS / product PKS] / fuel used) It is a facility for receiving at the management base 4 side.

  The marine receiving facility 31a is composed of, for example, a port handling facility installed on the coast, and it is preferable that a dedicated wharf be provided. The receiving facility 31a for shipping is not particularly limited as long as it is a facility capable of receiving bulk goods, and a general unloader such as a grab bucket type, continuous mechanical type or pneumatic can be used. In particular, the grab bucket type is preferable from the viewpoint of being able to correspond to articles of various shapes and sizes.

  In addition, the wood chip special ship etc. which are an example of a ship are generally equipped with the crane. As described above, in order to enable the reception of the fuel transported by the cargo ship equipped with the crane, the shipping reception facility 31a may be provided with a receiving hopper to which a conveyor is attached.

  Thereby, for example, when the supplier 2 is a palm palm-derived fuel production site such as Malaysia or Indonesia, it is possible to receive a large amount of these woody biomass fuels and the like to the fuel management base 4 through the ocean transportation means become. In addition, by using the shipping equipment for shipping 35a described later also as the receiving facility for shipping 31a, a large amount of product PKS can be shipped to the customer 3 through the ship. Thereby, physical distribution costs can be reduced.

  The land transportation receiving facility 31b is not particularly limited as long as it can cope with unloading from various types of trucks of dump type (bounce type) and floor movable type (walking floor or slide deck). Can be used effectively. As described above, by providing the receiving facility 31 with the receiving facility 31b for land transportation, chips such as construction wastes and the like generated in a small amount, which have conventionally been disposed of in a waste incineration facility or a final disposal site ) Can be accepted by the fuel management base 4 and can contribute to the construction of a resource recycling society. In addition, the land transportation delivery facility 35b, which will be described later, is used as the land transportation receiving facility 31b, the product PKS can be shipped to the customer 3 who is located in the inland area or whose demand is small.

  However, the receiving facility 31 provided in the fuel management base 4 may be configured by only one of the sea receiving facility 31 a and the land receiving facility 31 b.

(Steps SA12 and SA13)
As described above, the PKS transported from the supplier 2 is a PKS with a whisker-like fiber portion (PKS with fiber) and a PKS with a fiber portion already removed (defibrillation) The case of PKS) is assumed. More specifically, it is assumed that the PKS with fiber is mainly transported from the PKS production site 102A, and the defibrillated PKS is mainly transported from the first fuel management base 102B. It is not limited.

  If the PKS transported from the supplier 2 is a PKS with fibers (Yes in step SA12), the removal process of the fiber portion is performed in the separation facility 42 (step SA13). This results in defibrillation PKS.

  When the PKS transported from the supplier 2 is a defibrillated PKS in which the fiber portion has already been removed (No in step SA12), the defibrillation PKS after the removal of the fiber portion is performed in step SA13 is At step SA14, odor measurement is performed.

(Step SA14, step SA15, step SA16)
As described above, since the fiber portion contained in PKS exhibits a very strong odor, it needs to be removed. However, even in the defibrillated PKS state in which the fiber part has been removed in this way, it is a PKS (product PKS) showing an odor (shippable odor) that can be shipped to the customer 3 as it is, It can not be shipped as it is to indicate an odor exceeding the deliverable odor, and it is assumed that the PKS (receiving PKS) needs deodorizing treatment. Such a difference is caused by the kind of palm coconut by-product of PKS, the temperature and humidity condition of the storage environment where PKS has passed to the receiving facility 31, and the like.

  When the supplier 2 is the first fuel management base 102B equipped with the deodorization processing facility 44 similar to the fuel management base 4, the product PKS after the predetermined deodorization processing is the fuel management base May be supplied to 4. Similarly, even when the supplier 2 is the first fuel management base 102 B, the receiving PKS may be supplied to the fuel management base 4 in response to a request from the fuel management base 4. In such a case, sorting of the product PKS and the acceptance PKS has already been performed in the first fuel management base 102B, and the distribution management in which the fuel management base 4 and the first fuel management base 102B are coordinated The fuel management base 102 B is horizontally held from the fuel management base 102 B to the fuel management base 4.

  The fuel management base 4 includes a receiving PKS storage 32 for storing the receiving PKS, and a product PKS storage 34 for storing the product PKS. That is, the storage destination differs depending on whether the transported PKS (defibrillated PKS) is a receiving PKS or a product PKS. Therefore, for the purpose of specifying the storage destination, the odor is measured by the odor measurement facility 43 for the defibering PKS (step SA14). The odor measurement equipment 43 includes, for example, a metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor.

  As a result of measurement in the odor measurement facility 43, when the odor exceeds the distributable odor (No in step SA15), the defibrillated PKS to be measured is transported to the receiving PKS storage site 32 as the receiving PKS, It is stored (step SA16). On the other hand, as a result of measurement in the odor measurement facility 43, when the odor is within the range of the deliverable odor (Yes in step SA15), the defibrillated PKS to be measured is a product identified as the product PKS The site is transported to the PKS storage room 34 and stored (step SA30). The method of specifying the product PKS storage place 34 of the storage destination will be described later.

  For example, the fuel management base 4 has a specific control value regarding the odor intensity (the indicated value of the metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor) as one of the quality standards to be provided for the product PKS, and the fuel management base 4 The fiber PKS is sorted into a product PKS, and the defibered PKS not satisfying the control value is sorted into a receiving PKS.

(Step SA22)
The used fuel including the chips and the like received in step SA21 is transported to the specified used fuel storage area 33 and stored. The fuel management base 4 includes a plurality of fuel storage locations 33 (33a, 33b, 33c, 33d,...), And the storage destination is determined from among these according to the calorific value of the fuel used. That is, a certain used fuel storage place 33a corresponds to a storage place of used fuel (chip etc.) whose calorific value level is qa, and another used fuel storage place 33b has a calorific value level qb used fuel (such as chips) It corresponds to the storage place of.

  About the determination method of the utilization fuel storage place 33 used as the storage place of utilization fuel, and the conveyance method with respect to the use fuel storage place 33 of the determined storage place, product PKS storage place 34 used as the storage place of product PKS in step SA30 mentioned later. Is similar to the method of determining the product PKS and the method of transporting the product PKS storage place 34 of the determined storage destination. Under such circumstances, the detailed contents of step SA22 are substituted by the explanation of step SA30 from the viewpoint of avoiding duplication of explanation. In this case, the product PKS sampler 47 referred to in the description of step SA30 can be replaced with the available fuel sampler 46 shown in FIG.

(Step SA17)
The receiving PKS stored in the receiving PKS storage 32 is deodorized in the deodorizing facility 44 (step SA17). FIG. 8 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the configuration of the deodorizing treatment equipment 44. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the deodorizing treatment equipment 44 includes a mixing equipment 44a, a drying equipment 44b, and a carbonization equipment 44c.

  The mixing facility 44a is a facility for dry mixing the used fuel with the receiving PKS, and is a facility for performing the mixing process described above. The mixing facility 44a is not limited to the device mode as long as the above function is exhibited, and heavy equipment such as a wheel loader, a bladed mixer having a disintegrating effect, a rotary sieve having a classification function, and the like can be effectively used. . As described above, it is possible to reduce the odor of the receiving PKS by mixing the receiving fuel with the used fuel consisting of chips such as cedar, cypress, larch, red pine, cherry and the like in the receiving PKS. However, the calorific value of the product PKS obtained after mixing (after the deodorizing treatment) changes in accordance with the calorific value of the used fuel to be mixed.

  The drying facility 44b is a facility for drying the receiving PKS, and is a facility for performing the above-described drying process. When the mixing process is performed, if the amount of water contained in the receiving PKS is large, the used fuel can not be effectively mixed. In such a case, it is preferable to dry the receiving PKS. The drying equipment 44b is not limited to the apparatus aspect and the drying principle as long as the drying function is exhibited, and a hot air spray apparatus, a box drier, a band drier, a band fluidized bed drier, a rotary drier, and a wedge style Other than dedicated equipment such as a dryer, it may be a place where temperature control can be performed by utilizing exhaust heat or the like, or a place where natural drying such as sun drying or indoor drying can be performed. In the case where the used fuel including chips and the like contains a large amount of water, the drying equipment 44b may perform the drying process on the used fuel.

  The carbonization equipment 44c is equipment for carbonizing the receiving PKS. The deodorizing treatment equipment 44 may be replaced with the drying equipment 44b, or may be equipped with a carbonization equipment 44c together with the drying equipment 44b. The carbonization treatment makes it possible to reduce the moisture content of the receiving PKS extremely, and enables highly effective conversion in both deodorization and heating value increase. Such carbonization equipment is not limited to the apparatus mode as long as the above effects are exhibited, but an apparatus capable of carbonization in a low temperature range (200 ° C. to 300 ° C.), that is, so-called low temperature carbonization can be used effectively.

(Step SA30)
The product PKS determined to satisfy the deliverable odor in step SA15 or the product PKS obtained by executing the deodorizing process in step SA17 is transported and stored in the product PKS storage place 34.

  The fuel management base 4 has a plurality of product PKS storage spaces 34 (34a, 34b, 34c,...). The product PKS storage spaces 34 have different calorific values of the product PKS to be stored. That is, one product PKS storage place 34a corresponds to a storage place of a product PKS having a calorific value level Qa, and another product PKS storage place 34b corresponds to a storage place for a receiving PKS having a calorific value level Qb.

  FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing included in step SA30. Step SA30 includes the processes of step SA31, step SA32, step SA33, step SA34, and step SA35.

  First, a part of product PKS is extracted from a large amount of product PKS transported on site (step SA31). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the fuel management base 4 may be provided with a product PKS sampler 47 for executing step SA31. The product PKS sampler 47 is a sampling device for analysis and testing, and there is no particular limitation on the sampling method and the like as long as a sample having high representativeness can be collected. Generally, as described in JIS K 0060 "Industrial waste collection method" or JIS M 8100 "Powder mixture-sampling method general rules", the entire flow of the object to be dropped to the downstream of the conveyor or feeder. A sampler that can be taken from the width is preferably employed.

  Next, an analysis process of the calorific value is performed on the product PKS extracted in step SA31 (step SA32). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the fuel management base 4 may be provided with an analysis facility 41 for executing step SA32.

  The analysis equipment 41 is not particularly limited as long as it is an apparatus capable of coping with the evaluation of the calorific value, and a general-purpose pretreatment apparatus, a measuring apparatus, and an analyzer can be used. Further, the analysis facility 41 may be configured as an unmanned system using a robot handling automation system or the like.

  For the measurement of the calorific number of the product PKS, for example, the method described in JIS Z 7302-2 "Waste solidified fuel-Part 2: calorific number test method" can be used.

  The method for transporting the product PKS extracted by the product PKS sampler 47 to the installation site of the analysis facility 41 is not particularly limited, but a pneumatic pipe system or the like capable of automatically transporting the sample is preferable. used.

  Next, the calorific value of the target product PKS is specified based on the result of analysis by the analysis facility 41 in step SA32 (step SA33).

  As a specific method of the calorific value of the product PKS, any standard number may be used. For example, you may set the number of levels according to the performance of the required calorific value of the PKS consumer. For example, the range of the calorific value indicated by the product PKS may be classified into a plurality of stages (such as three stages).

  Next, based on the calorific value of the product PKS identified in step SA33, the product PKS storage site, which is the storage destination of the product PKS, is selected from the respective product PKS storage sites 34 (34a, 34b, 34c,...) Are identified (step SA34).

  As described above, the product PKS storage space 34 is composed of a plurality of product PKS storage spaces 34 in which the calorific value (heat generation amount level) of the product PKS to be stored is made different. Information on the calorific value of the product PKS allocated to each product PKS storage space 34 may be stored in advance in a storage unit or a sheet of an information processing apparatus (not shown). In the case of the former, it is also possible that the worker at the fuel management base 4 can confirm the information on the calorific value of the product PKS allocated to each product PKS storage place 34 using the in-base terminal 4p described later. Absent. Based on the stored information, the product PKS storage place 34 which is the storage destination of the product PKS is identified.

  Then, the product PKS is transported on site to the product PKS storage place 34 specified in step SA34 and stored (step SA35). In the meantime, starting from the case where the product PKS is transported from the receiving facility 31 to the product PKS yard 34, the receiving PKS from the receiving facility 31 to the receiving PKS yard 32 or from the receiving PKS yard 32 to the deodorizing equipment 44 In the case of transporting on the site, PKS in the fuel management base 4 when transporting the used fuel consisting of chips etc. from the receiving facility 31 to the used fuel yard 33 or from the used fuel yard 33 to the deodorizing treatment facility 44 In addition, heavy equipment such as wheel loaders and bulldozers and pneumatic feeding can also be used for in-field transport of used fuel, but conveyors such as belt conveyors and screw conveyors from the viewpoint of efficiency, work safety and equipment cost etc. It is preferred to use. In addition, since a chip or the like tends to cause a clogged state called bridging, it is preferable to apply a device for preventing clogging of a baffle plate or the like at a portion having a throttle of a path.

  The product PKS storage space 34 is not particularly limited as long as it can store the received product PKS without causing rain and the like, and there is no problem in receiving cargo and unloading, and a roofed building or silo It can be used effectively. Moreover, from the viewpoint of preventing spontaneous ignition during storage as well as preventing water wetting, a drying gas can be ventilated in the storage space as described in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 6381836, or a pile of product PKS. More preferred is a storage facility provided with a turning device. When a building with a roof is used as the product PKS storage area 34, if it can be managed so that the products PKS classified according to the calorific value do not mix, a plurality of product PKS can be stored in one building .

  It should be noted that depending on the supplier 2 (PKS production place 102A, first fuel management base 102B, chip etc. production place 102C), PKS transported to the fuel management base 4 (PKS with fiber / defibered PKS [receiving PKS / It may have a function to analyze the calorific value of a product PKS] or a chip or the like. In this case, the supplier 2 may also notify the fuel management base 4 of information related to the calorific value of the transported PKS (PKS with fibers / defibering PKS [reception PKS / product PKS]) or chips. I do not care. More specifically, a worker in the fuel management base 4 uses the in-base terminal 4p described later to transfer the PKS transported from the supplier 2 (PK with fiber / defibered PKS [receiving PKS / product PKS]) Alternatively, it may be possible to confirm information related to the calorific value of a chip or the like.

  In the above case, based on the information related to the calorific value of the product PKS notified from the supplier 2, the product PKS storage place 34 serving as the storage destination of the product PKS is specified, and the product PKS is stored in the specified product PKS storage place 34. It does not matter as what is preserve | saved (step SA34, SA35). In such a case, the analysis of the calorific value for the product PKS (step SA32) in the fuel management base 4 and the process of specifying the calorific value based on the analysis result (step SA33) may not necessarily be performed.

<Order acceptance step SB>
FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing included in step SB shown in FIG. In the description of the present step SB, a block diagram showing the configuration of the management server 5 shown in FIG. 5 is referred to as appropriate.

  The management server 5 is configured by a general-purpose computer having an arithmetic processing function and a storage function. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the management server 5 includes the storage unit 11, the stock determination unit 12, the shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit 13, the stock updating unit 14, the deodorizing result calculating unit 15, the product mixing result calculating unit 16, and the order. The receiver 17 is provided.

  The storage unit 11 is an area in which predetermined information is stored, and is configured of a storage medium such as a flash memory or a hard disk. The stock judging unit 12, the shipping deodorizing instruction preparing unit 13, the stock updating unit 14, the deodorizing result calculating unit 15, the product mixing result calculating unit 16, and the order receiving unit 17 perform predetermined signal processing (based on the acquired information) Calculation processing unit that performs calculation), and is configured by dedicated software and / or hardware.

  As schematically illustrated in FIG. 1, each of the consumers 3 (3A, 3B, 3C,...) Inputs the order in which the information on the required product PKS is described. , 3Bp, 3Cp, ...). The consumer terminal 3p is a terminal that can communicate with the management server 5, and is configured of, for example, a general-purpose computer and a portable terminal such as a smartphone. Further, the type of communication format between the consumer terminal 3p and the management server 5 is not limited, and any communication format such as the Internet or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) can be used.

  Note that, as described later in the section of another embodiment, each consumer 3 is not limited to the ordering of the product PKS, and may place an order for the receiving PKS, the used fuel, and the like. Here, for convenience of explanation, the case where a product PKS is ordered from each customer 3 will be described.

(Step SB1)
The consumer 3 (3A, 3B, 3C,...) Transmits an order describing information on the requested product PKS using the consumer terminal 3p (3Ap, 3Bp, 3Cp,...). Specifically, when the customer 3 wishes to order a product PKS, after logging in to a predetermined system, information on the required product PKS (hereinafter referred to as "first order information dO1"). Enter Thereby, the first order information dO1 input by the consumer 3 is transmitted to the management server 5 via a predetermined communication line.

  The first order information dO1 includes information on the calorific value of the product PKS required by the consumer 3 and information on the quantity. Hereinafter, the calorific value of the product PKS fuel required by the customer 3 is referred to as "required calorific value", and the quantity of the product PKS required by the customer 3 is referred to as "required quantity". Then, as described above, the quality indicator for determining the storage destination of the product PKS in the fuel management base 4 is the "heat generation amount" which is the same as the required heat generation amount described in the first order information dO1. Is used.

  Here, when the demander 3 inputs an order for the product PKS using the demander terminal 3p, the demander 3 may request to use an application or a web site corresponding to the ordering system 1. In this case, the application or the web site designates a level corresponding to the required calorific value (a group belonging to the required calorific value according to the required calorific value) among the plural levels classified in advance by the above method. It does not matter if it is a system that requires to do.

  The management server 5 includes an order receiving unit 17 for receiving the first order information dO1 transmitted from the consumer 3. The order receiving unit 17 includes an interface unit for correctly receiving the first order information dO1 and an operation processing unit that analyzes the content of the received first order information dO1 and outputs the analyzed content to the stock determining unit 12. A predetermined authentication procedure may be required before transmitting the first order information dO1 from the consumer terminal 3p, and in such a case, the order reception unit 17 may have the above-mentioned authentication processing function. Absent.

  The first order information dO1 may include identification information for identifying the demander 3 who is the order source.

(Step SB2)
Based on the contents of the first order information dO1 transmitted from the consumer 3, the inventory judging unit 12 determines the consumer 3 according to the quantity of the product PKS, the acceptance PKS and the fuel used stored in the fuel management base 4 at present. It is determined whether it is possible to meet the order of, that is, whether it can be shipped.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the management server 5 includes a storage unit 11. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 11 has an inventory quantity storage area 11a. Information on stock quantity by heat value of product PKS currently stored in product PKS storage space 34 (34a, 34b, 34c, ...) of the fuel management base 4 in the stock quantity storage area 11a (1st stock) Quantity information dS1), information on stock quantity of the receiving PKS stored in the receiving PKS storage 32 (second stock quantity information dS2), and stored in the used fuel storage 33 (33a, 33b, 33c,...) Information (third inventory quantity information dS3) regarding the inventory quantity according to the calorific value of the used fuel is stored.

  The stock determination unit 12 first reads out the first stock quantity information dS1 from the storage unit 11 and can respond to the order described in the first order information dO1 by the stock of the product PKS stored in the product PKS storage space 34. It is determined whether or not (step SB2a).

  For example, the case is described in which the first order information dO1 states that the required calorific value is QB and the required quantity is M1. Here, “the required heat generation amount is QB” means that the range to which the heat generation amount of the product PKS requested by the consumer 3 belongs is QB, for convenience. That is, the calorific value is divided into a plurality of stages, and the group to which the calorific value belongs is referred to.

  The stock judging unit 12 refers to the first stock quantity information dS1 and confirms whether or not the product PKS of the calorific value QB is stored in the product PKS storage place 34 in the required quantity M1 or more. Then, when it is possible to cope with the current inventory quantity (Yes in step SB2a), the shipping deodorizing instruction creation unit 13 transmits instruction information to that effect to the in-base terminal 4p (step SB3).

  In the case where the required calorific value described in the first order information dO1 is QB, the inventory judgment unit 12 requests the sum of the stock quantity in the product PKS storage space 34 of the product fuel showing the quality of the calorific value QB or more. When the quantity is equal to or more than M1, it may be determined that the present stock quantity can cope with the situation. However, since it can be assumed that the unit price is set higher for the product PKS having a higher calorific value, the inventory judgment unit 12 indicates the calorific value exceeding the required calorific value described in the first order information dO1. As to whether or not it is possible to determine whether or not the product PKS can cope with the current product PKS after including the amount, it may be appropriately set in relation to the consumer 3.

  In addition, when the required calorific value described in the first order information dO1 is QB, a sufficient quantity is not stored for the product PKS indicating the calorific value QB in the product PKS storage space 34, but from the calorific value QB It is assumed that sufficient quantities are stored for the product PKS exhibiting a high calorific value QA and the product PKS exhibiting a calorific value QC lower than the calorific value QB. In such a case, the inventory determination unit 12 generates the calorific value obtained when the product fuel of the specific calorific value (here, the calorific value QA and the calorific value QC) in the product mixing result calculation unit 16 is mixed by a predetermined amount. It does not matter if it is calculated and it is determined whether or not it is possible to cope with the current inventory quantity in consideration of the calculation result.

  The product mixing result calculation unit 16, for example, information on the calorific value of the product PKS to be mixed, information on the stock quantity of the product PKS indicating the calorific value, and the required calorific value and request described in the first order information dO1 It has a function to calculate the calorific value and quantity of the product PKS to be mixed based on the information on the quantity. As an example, the calorific value of product PKS obtained by mixing is specified according to the ratio of the quantity according to the calorific value of the product PKS to be mixed.

  When the stock judging unit 12 judges that the stock of the product PKS stored in the product PKS storage place 34 can not correspond to the order described in the first order information dO1 (No in step SB2a), the receiving PKS is next received. Based on the acceptance PKS stored in the storage 32 and the stock of the used fuel stored in the used fuel storage 33, it is determined whether or not the shortage can be dealt with (step SB2b).

  For example, in the case where it is described in the first order information dO1 that the required calorific value is QB and the required quantity is M1, in the product PKS of the calorific value QB currently stored in the product PKS storage space 34, It is assumed that the quantity m1 is insufficient. In this case, the deodorization processing is performed in the deodorizing processing facility 44 using the receiving PKS currently stored in the receiving PKS storage 32 and the fuel used stored in the used fuel storage 33. When including the product PKS, it is assumed that the shortage quantity m1 may be exceeded. In such a case, the inventory determination unit 12 calculates the calorific value of the product PKS generated by performing the deodorization process on the receiving PKS using the fuel having the specific calorific value in the deodorization result calculation unit 15 It is also possible to determine whether or not it is possible to cope with the current inventory quantity in consideration of the calculation result.

  As described above, the storage unit 11 stores the second stock quantity information dS2 regarding the stock quantity of the currently received PKS and the third stock quantity information dS3 regarding the stock quantity according to the calorific value of the fuel used. The deodorizing result calculation unit 15 receives the information on the required calorific value, the information on the shortage quantity, the second stock quantity information dS2, and the third stock quantity information dS3, and receives the receiving PKS to be processed to cover the shortage. It has a function to calculate the quantity and the quantity of the calorific value of the fuel used.

  For example, the deodorization result calculation unit 15 relates to the receiving PKS stored in the receiving PKS storage space 32 without a problem assuming that it has a general calorific value (for example, 4000 kcal / kg) of the commercial PKS. A correspondence relationship between the calorific value of the product PKS produced by mixing and processing the calorific value of the estimated calorific value and the calorific value of the utilization fuel stored for each calorific value in the utilization fuel storage place 33 is stored. As an example, if the receiving PKS of the assumed calorific value Qc stored in the receiving PKS storage site 32 and the utilization fuel (chip etc.) of the calorific value qb stored in the utilization fuel storage site 33 are equal mixed When the product PKS is produced, the inventory judging unit 12 receives the insufficient product PKS indicating the calorific value QB, based on the stock quantity of the accepting PKS and the stock quantity of the fuel used for the calorific value qb, It can be determined whether the deodorizing process will make a difference.

  The stock judging unit 12 uses the above method and based on the calculation result in the deodorizing result calculating unit 15, the stock of the receiving PKs stored in the receiving PKS storage 32 and the used fuel stored in the used fuel storage 33 When it is determined that the shortage can be dealt with by the inventory of (Yes in step SB2b), the shipping deodorizing instruction creation unit 13 transmits instruction information to that effect to the in-base terminal 4p. (Step SB5).

(Step SB3, Step SB5)
When it is determined in the stock judging unit 12 that the demand for the customer 3 can be satisfied by the stock of the product PKS (Yes in step SB2a), or the demand for the customer 3 is obtained by using the acceptance PKS and the stock of used fuel. When it is determined that the terminal is crawling (Yes in step SB2b), the in-base terminal 4p receives the instruction information (shipment deodorizing instruction information d4) from the shipping deodorizing instruction creation unit 13 (step SB3, step SB5).

  The shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 relates to information on the quantity by calorific value of product fuel necessary for shipping (first consumption quantity information) and / or the quantity of receiving PKS necessary for deodorizing processing for shipping. Information (second consumption quantity information) and information (third consumption quantity information) relating to the quantity of the calorific value of the used fuel necessary for the deodorizing process are described. The first consumption quantity information, the second consumption quantity information, and the third consumption quantity information are created by the shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit 13 based on the result calculated when step SB2a or step SB2b is executed. Be done.

  Thereafter, in the fuel management base 4, the deodorizing process is performed as needed, and then the shipping process is performed. This process corresponds to step SC described above with reference to FIG. The specific content of step SC will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In addition to the first consumption quantity information and / or the second consumption quantity information and the third consumption quantity information, the shipment deodorizing instruction information d4 transmitted from the shipment deodorizing instruction creating unit 13 to the in-base terminal 4p The identification information for identifying the consumer 3 may be included. Furthermore, the information for confirming the content of the first order information dO1 transmitted from the demander 3 to the management server 5 may be included together. For example, when the first order information dO1 includes the information on the delivery date required by the consumer 3, the information on the required delivery date may be included in the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4.

  The shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 may contain the contents of the first order information dO1 itself, and the address information to be the link destination in the management server 5 for confirming the contents of the first order information dO1 is It does not matter if it is included. In the latter case, the worker at the fuel management base 4 can confirm the first order information dO1 transmitted from the consumer 3 by operating the in-base terminal 4p to access the link destination.

(Step SB4)
As described above, the management server 5 includes the stock update unit 14. When the shipping and deodorizing instruction creating unit 13 transmits the shipping and deodorizing instruction information d4 to the in-base terminal 4p (steps SB3 and SB5), the inventory updating unit 14 stores the storage unit based on the shipping and deodorizing instruction information d4. Update the information in 11. Specifically, the inventory update unit 14 stores the information on the stock quantity by heat value of the product PKS stored in the storage unit 11 based on the first consumption quantity information described in the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4. Update the contents of (1st stock quantity information dS1). Similarly, the inventory update unit 14 stores information related to the inventory quantity of the received PKS stored in the storage unit 11 based on the second consumption quantity information described in the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 (second inventory quantity information Information on the stock quantity by heat value of the used fuel stored in the storage unit 11 based on the third consumption quantity information described in dS2), with the contents of dS2 updated. Update the contents of stock quantity information dS3).

  By the execution of step SB4, the storage unit 11 of the management server 5 has a reduced amount of fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / use fuel) shipped from the fuel management base 4 to the consumer 3 In the reflected state, the information on the stock quantity of the fuel (product PKS / receiving PKS / used fuel) stored by the fuel management base 4 is stored.

(Step SB6)
Depending on the contents of the first order information dO1, it may be assumed that the demand can not be met with the stock of the fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / use fuel) currently stored by the fuel management base 4 (step SB2b) In No). In such a case, ordering processing of fuel (product PKS / receiving PKS / used fuel) is performed for the supplier 2.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the step SB6 is not automatically executed by the management server 5 is included. That is, a person in charge who has jurisdiction over the management server 5 may individually create order information for the supplier 2 and perform order processing. The management server 5 may automatically select the supplier 2 to be ordered and then perform the ordering process. This configuration will be described later in the second embodiment.

Shipping Step SC
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing included in step SC shown in FIG. In the description of the present step SC, the block diagram showing the configuration of the fuel management base 4 shown in FIG. 4 is referred to as appropriate.

(Step SC1)
The in-base terminal 4p receives the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 transmitted from the shipping deodorizing instruction creating unit 13 in step SB3 or step SB5 (step SC1). For example, as described above, the in-base terminal 4p is installed or carried in a state where it can be confirmed by a worker in the fuel management base 4, and when the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 is transmitted from the management server 5, fuel management A worker in the base 4 can confirm the contents of the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4.

(Step SC2, Step SC3)
The worker in the fuel management base 4 uses the in-base terminal 4p to confirm whether the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 includes an instruction to perform deodorizing processing on the receiving PKS. (Step SC2). Then, when the deodorizing process is not included (No in step SC2), the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 further includes an instruction to perform the mixing process of the product PKS showing different qualities. (Step SC3).

(Step SC4)
If the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 does not include an instruction to perform the mixing process of the product PKS showing different calorific values (No in step SC3), the calorific value described in the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 is satisfied. The product PKS storage space 34 in which the product PKS is stored is identified (step SC4).

(Step SC5)
Thereafter, if necessary, a confirmation operation is performed that the product fuel stored in the specified product PKS storage place 34 indicates the required calorific value. This step SC5 may be omitted.

  First, a part of the product PKS is extracted from the large amount of product PKS stored in the specified product PKS storage room 34 (step SC5a). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the fuel management base 4 may be provided with a shipping PKS sampler 48 for executing step SC5a. The shipping PKS sampler 48 can have the same configuration as the above-described fuel sampler 46 and the product PKS sampler 47. The used fuel sampler 46 and / or the product PKS sampler 47 may double as the shipping PKS sampler 48.

  Next, analysis of the calorific value for the extracted product PKS is performed (step SC5b). In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the case where the product PKS extracted by the shipping PKS sampler 48 is analyzed by the analysis facility 41 similar to step SA33 is illustrated. However, the fuel management base 4 may be provided with a dedicated analysis facility 41 to be executed in step SC5b, separately from the analysis facility 41 used in step SA33.

  Next, based on the result analyzed by the analysis facility 41, the calorific value (range of the calorific value) to which the product PKS extracted by the shipping PKS sampler 48 belongs is specified, and the specified calorific value is determined It is checked whether the required calorific value described in the odor indication information d4 is satisfied (step SC5c). If the target product PKS does not satisfy the required heat generation amount, alert information to that effect may be transmitted from the in-base terminal 4p to the management server 5.

(Step SC6)
When it is confirmed in step SC5 that the target product PKS satisfies the required calorific value, a large amount of product PKS stored in the product PKS storage place 34 is transported to the shipping facility 35. As described above, step SC5 may be omitted. In this case, a large amount of product PKS stored in the product PKS storage area 34 specified in step SC4 is transported to the shipping facility 35.

  The shipping facility 35 preferably includes a shipping facility for sea transportation 35a and a shipping facility for land transportation 35b. The shipping equipment for shipping 35a is not particularly limited as long as it is a ship loader for bulk loading, a crane for cranes or hoists for containers or flexible containers, etc. as long as the equipment can be shipped according to the type of load. The land transport shipping facility 35b is not particularly limited as long as it can be shipped separately according to the type of load, such as a hopper for loading on a bulk truck or a forklift handling a flexible container or the like.

  However, the shipping facility 35 provided in the fuel management base 4 may be configured by only one of the shipping facility for sea transportation 35a and the shipping facility for land transportation 35b.

(Step SC7)
Then, the product fuel is shipped from the shipping facility 35a for shipping to the customer 3 by the shipping means such as a ship, and from the shipping facility 35b for land transportation by the land transportation means represented by a transport vehicle such as a truck. Shipped to

(Step SC8)
If the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 includes an instruction to perform mixing processing of the product PKS showing different calorific value (Yes in step SC3), the product PKS of each designated calorific value is stored A designated quantity of product PKS is extracted and mixed from the product PKS storage space 34 (34a, 34b, 34c, ...) being processed.

  Then, after the confirmation process of step SC5 is performed as needed, step SC6 and step SC7 are performed.

(Step SC9)
If the shipping deodorizing instruction information d4 includes an instruction to perform deodorizing processing on the receiving PKS (Yes in step SC2), the receiving PKS of the quantity specified from the receiving PKS storage 32 is used fuel After the use fuel of the quantity specified according to the calorific value is taken out from the storage 33 (33a, 33b, 33c, ...), after being transported on site, the same method as step SA17 described above in the deodorizing treatment facility 44 Deodorization treatment is performed. Thereby, the acceptance PKS is converted into a product PKS.

  Thereafter, the confirmation process of step SC5 is performed as necessary for the newly generated product PKS, and then step SC6 and step SC7 are performed. The product PKS generated by the deodorizing process is a product PKS scheduled to be shipped immediately, and therefore, unlike step SA30, it is not necessary to store the product PKS in the product PKS storage space 34. However, if it takes time to ship due to some circumstances, it may be stored in the product PKS storage space 34 according to the calorific value of the generated product PKS, or the fuel immediately before shipment may be temporarily stored. The product may be stored in the dedicated product PKS storage 34 for storage.

  Note that, as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 11, the product PKS generated by executing the deodorizing process on the receiving PKS in step SC9 and the other product PKS are mixed in step SC8. The adjustment of the calorific value may be performed.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of a biomass fuel ordering system including palm coconut shell according to the present invention will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a second embodiment of the ordering system. As shown in FIG. 11, unlike the first embodiment, the ordering system 1 in the present embodiment can communicate with the management server 5 with the suppliers 2 (2A, 2B, 2C,...). A supplier terminal 2p (2Ap, 2Bp, 2Cp, ...) is provided. As the supplier 2 including the supplier terminal 2p, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the PKS manufacturing place 102A, the first fuel management base 102B, and the chip etc. manufacturing place 102C are assumed.

  FIG. 13 is a block diagram schematically showing one configuration example of the management server 5 included in the order receiving and ordering system 1 of the present embodiment. Unlike the first embodiment, the management server 5 includes a shortage quantity calculation unit 18, a supplier extraction unit 19, and a supplier ordering unit 20. The shortage quantity calculation unit 18, the supplier extraction unit 19, and the supplier ordering unit 20 are arithmetic processing units that perform predetermined signal processing (calculation) based on the acquired information, and are dedicated software and / or It consists of hardware.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 11 has a deodorizing information storage area 11 b and a supplier information storage area 11 c in addition to the stock quantity storage area 11 a. In the deodorizing information storage area 11b, information (processing time information dP) related to the deodorizing processing time necessary for deodorizing the receiving PKS in the deodorizing processing facility 44 to generate a product PKS is stored. ing. In the supplier information storage area 11c, information (conveying time required for conveying fuel (product PKS / accepting PKS / PKS with fiber / fuel using fiber) from the base of each supplier 2 to the fuel management base 4 (conveying time) The time information dD) and the information (manufacturability information dM) relating to the calorific value of the fuel (product PKS / reception PKS / PKS with fiber / fuel used) that can be manufactured by each supplier 2 are stored.

  As compared with the first embodiment, in step SB6 described with reference to FIG. 10, the ordering system 1 according to the present embodiment automatically extracts the supplier 2 of the ordering party after the management server 5 automatically extracts it. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it has a function of performing an order process to the supplier 2, and the other is common. The contents of step SB6 will be described below.

  FIG. 14 is a flow chart for explaining an example of the flow of processing included in step SB6 executed in the ordering system 1 in the present embodiment.

(Step SB6a)
When stock determination unit 12 determines that the stock quantity of fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / used fuel) at the current time of fuel management base 4 can not meet the demand described in first order information dO1 (step SB2 b No: in FIG. 10), the shortage quantity calculation unit 18 calculates the amount of fuel additionally required (lack quantity).

  For example, based on the content determined by the stock determination unit 12 by the calculation in step SB2 (see FIG. 10), the shortage quantity calculation unit 18 additionally performs additional processing to meet the demand described in the first order information dO1 only with the product PKS. Calculate the shortage quantity (the first shortage quantity) of the product PKS according to the calorific value necessary for the Further, for example, the shortage quantity calculation unit 18 performs the deodorization processing based on the content determined by the stock determination unit 12 by the calculation in step SB2, and the demand described in the first order information dO1 by the product PKS generated Calculate the shortage amount (2nd shortage amount) of the acceptance PKS additionally required to meet the demand and the deficiency amount (third shortage amount) according to the calorific value of the fuel used.

  In addition, for example, the shortage quantity calculation unit 18 calculates the quantity of the fiber-attached PKS (fourth shortage quantity) necessary to obtain the calculated second shortage quantity of the reception PKS by the calculation.

  For example, when the product PKS indicating the calorific value QB is short by the quantity m2, the information that the shortage quantity of the product PKS of the calorific value QB is m2 can be simply taken as the first shortage quantity. As another example, in the case where the product PKS showing the calorific value QB is short by the quantity m2, in view of coping with the shortage by mixing two or more types of product PKS fuels having different calorific values, The shortage quantity by calorific value of the product fuel additionally required for mixing can be taken as the first shortage quantity.

  Further, as another example, when the product fuel showing the calorific value QB is insufficient by the quantity m2, the deodorizing treatment is performed in the deodorizing treatment facility 44, and the calorific value QB product PKS is generated in the quantity m2 or more The possible shortage quantity of the received PKS can be taken as the second deficiency quantity, and the deficiency quantity by calorific value of the fuel used for the treatment can be taken as the third deficiency quantity. Furthermore, in order to obtain the second shortage quantity of the received PKS, the shortage quantity of the PKS with fibers that needs to be separated in the separation facility 42 can be set as the fourth shortage quantity.

  That is, the shortage quantity calculation unit 18 determines the quantity of the fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / PKS with fiber / fuel used with fiber) additionally necessary to cover the demand described in the first order information dO1, as necessary. Calculation according to the calorific value.

(Step SB6b)
Next, the supplier extraction unit 19 extracts the supplier 2 as the ordering party.

  Specifically, for example, in the case where the first order information dO1 transmitted from the consumer terminal 3p describes information on a due date (required delivery date) desired by the consumer 3, the supplier extraction unit 19 The supplier 2 who can supply the fuel (product PKS / receiving PKS / PKS with fiber / fuel using fiber) to the fuel management base 4 within the supply delivery date which is a deadline within the required delivery date is extracted. In addition, when the information regarding the required delivery date is not described in the first order information dO1, the required delivery date is automatically taken into consideration on the management server 5 side in consideration of the past transaction results with the consumer 3 and the like. It does not matter if it is set.

  Note that the “supply due date” is a date set by advancing in consideration of a predetermined number of buffer days, such as the number of days required for processing in the fuel management base 4 with respect to the requested delivery date specified by the consumer 3 It can be done.

  For example, the storage unit 11 stores a list of a plurality of suppliers 2 (2A, 2B, 2C,...) That can be ordered from the management server 5. More specifically, in the supplier information storage area 11 c of the storage unit 11, the fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / PKS with fibers / fuel used with fiber) is transported from the base of each supplier 2 to the fuel management base 4. Information (conveyance time information dD) on the conveyance time required for the above is stored. The supplier extraction unit 19 is a supplier who can supply fuel (product PKS / acceptance PKS / PKS with fiber / fuel for use with fibers) to the fuel management base 4 within the delivery date based on the transport time information dD for each supplier 2. 2 can be extracted.

  Furthermore, when the insufficient amount of fuel is supplied by the received PKS or used fuel transported from the supplier 2, the provider extraction unit 19 reads the processing time information dP from the deodorizing information storage area 11b of the storage unit 11.
