Have you ever heard about torrefaction? It is a mild pyrolysis process that increase the value of biomass. After being torrefied, the material can be pelletized by pellet mill.
Dingli has rich experiences in the pelletization of torrefied wood material. Here we will tell you more about  torrefaction and torrefied pellets.
Torrefaction Is The Future of Biomass. 

 
What is Torrefaction?
Torrefaction, a process different from carbonization, is a mild pyrolysis process carried out in a temperature range of 230 to 300℃ in the absence of oxygen. This thermal pretreatment of biomass improves its energy density, reduces its oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio, and reduces its hygroscopic nature. During this process the biomass dries and partially devolatilizes, decreasing its mass while largely preserving its energy content. The torrefaction process removes H₂O and CO₂ from the biomass. As a result, both the O/C and the H/C ratios of the biomass decrease. In raw biomass, high oxygen content prompts its over-oxidation during gasification, increasing the thermodynamic losses of the process. Torrefaction could reduce this loss by reducing the oxygen in the biomass. Torrefaction also increases the relative carbon content of the biomass. The properties of a torrefied wood depends on torrefaction temperature, time, and on the type of wood feed.
Understanding the meaning of torrefaction can help us better to know the advantages torrefaction can bring.

 

 

Advantages of Torrefaction
Torrefied wood per forms better than original wood (or another biomass) in both gasification and combustion. Major features and advantages of torrefaction are as follows:

Based on these features, we c

According to the advantages listed above, we can come to the conclusion that torrefaction is an very advanced process of pelletizing.
What are the superiorities of torrefied pellet?
 
Torrefied Pellet
The pelletizing process resolves some typical problems of biomass fuels: transport and storing costs are minimized, handling is improved, and the volumetric calorific values is increased. Pelletization may not increase the energy density on a mass basis, but it can increase the energy density on a mass basis for raw wood, torrefied wood, wood pellet, and torrefied pellet was 10.5, 19.9, 16.2, and 21.6 kJ/kg (LHV as received basis), respectively, it was 5.0, 4.6, 10.5, and 18.4 GJ/m³, respectively, on a volume basis (Bergman, 2005c). Thus, pelletization of torrefied wood greatly increase the transportation and handling cost of biomass. Pelletization of torrefied biomass is better than torrefaction of pelletized wood from the standpoint of process energy consumption and product stability. 

an easily speculate that torrefaction will allow biomass to be used in entrained-flow gasification, direct combustion in a PC-fired boiler, and production of biopellet.

 

Torrefied pellets are also called Biocoal pellets or Black pellets. More and more power plants have started to burn torrefied pellets that replace coal fuel. This is a good opportunity for biofuel business investors. Torrefaction is reliable technology that will increase the value of biomass. To make pellets from torrefied biomass needs professional pellet mills and experienced engineering team.
  Dingli has been in the research of torrefaction and torrefied pellets for many years. We hope our technology and pellet equipment will help more investors to set up their own torrefied pellet plants.
