Torrefaction of Pine Using a Pilot-Scale Rotary Reactor: Experimentation, Kinetics, and Process Simulation Using Aspen Plus™

Torrefaction of Pine Using a Pilot-Scale Rotary Reactor: Experimentation, Kinetics, and Process Simulation Using Aspen Plus™

Biomass is an excellent sustainable carbon neutral energy source, however its use as a coal/petroleum coke substitute in thermal applications poses several challenges. Several inherent properties of biomass including higher heating value (HHV), bulk density, and its hydrophilic and fibrous nature, a...
