A decentralized biomass torrefaction reactor concept. Part I: Multi-scale analysis and initial experimental validation

A new, simplified biomass torrefaction reactor concept that operates under oxygen-lean conditions is proposed as a potential way to downscale torrefaction reactors for small- and medium-scale applications. To verify the feasibility of the concept, a multi-scale analysis was conducted to understand t...
