๐ฅ Best Biomass Materials for Torrefied Pellets: Low vs. High Volatile Matter ๐ Volatile Matter (VM) & Torrefaction Efficiency Torrefaction reduces volatile matter (VM), improving combustion characteristics and energy density. Biomass with higher VM (>60%) is more suitable for torrefaction because it allows greater mass loss, improving fixed carbon content and making the fuel more […]
๐ฅ Biomass Material: Volatile Matter, GCV, and Industry Applications ๐ฑ ๐ก Which Biomass Material is Best for Your Industry? Volatile Matter (VM) refers to the gases and vapors released from biomass when it is heated before complete combustion. It consists mainly of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other light gases, affecting combustion behavior in different industries. […]
