PelletIndia.com’s recent trial of wood biomass chip torrefaction continuous process:
PelletIndia.com‘s recent 1st trial of wood biomass chip torrefaction continuous process with biogas output provides some key insights. Here’s a breakdown of the key points based on our data:
- Wood Chip Properties:
- Size: 30mm, ideal for uniform processing in the torrefaction reactor.
- Total Moisture (TM): 3.45%, showing minimal moisture, reducing energy requirements.
- Inherent Moisture (IM): 2.94%, further contributing to energy efficiency.
- Volatile Matter (VM): 33.73%, ensuring efficient combustion.
- Ash Content: 6.62%, relatively low, improving fuel quality.
- Fixed Carbon (FC): 56.71%, enhancing the energy density of the material.
- Gross Air-Dried (GAD): 6368 kcal/kg and Gross As Received (GAR): 6335 kcal/kg, indicating a high calorific value for energy production.
- Biogas Production: The process yielded biogas as a valuable by-product, adding to the energy output and sustainability.
- Low Operating Costs: This highlights the economic viability of continuous torrefaction, making it suitable for large-scale energy production.
These details demonstrate a highly efficient, continuous torrefaction process with significant energy output and reduced operational costs.
