Process simulation of an integrated biomass torrefaction and pelletization (iBTP) plant to produce solid biofuels

Torrefaction is an important thermal pretreatment method to produce solid biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass to replace coal for sustainable heat and power generation. In this study, a thermodynamic-based process simulation model was developed for an integrated biomass torrefaction and pelletizat...
