Impact of Water Vapour on the Predictive Modelling of Full-Scale Indirectly Heated Biomass Torrefaction System Throughput Capacity

Short Introductive summary

The two key requirements for the commercial & technical success of biomass torrefaction is for the process to be self-sustaining and continuous. This ensures that the process is not reliant on additional fuels and can achieve the required production scale necessary for the market. This paper presents a predictive model of full-scale continuous biomass torrefaction system. The predictive nature of the model, obtained by including the radiation absorption properties of the torrefaction gas, enables the (scaled) design of torrefaction reactors by utilising the calculated performance for various process conditions.
