During torrefaction, biomass is heated up to a temperature of 200-300 °C in an inert atmosphere. The properties of torrefied biomass are: it absorbs less water, it is resistant to biodegradation, it has higher heating value and its grinding is easier...
From the perspective of SIMEC, pyrolysis unit design is the most important factor to produce clean and safe biochar, neither a specific pyrolysis parameter nor the feedstock. Good biochar shouldn’t be associated with a particular feedstock type. ...
Ring die compression ratio can directly determine pellet forming quality. For the same ratio, aperture and effective working length may be different. Compression ratio is designed as per pellet specification requirements and biomass analysis....
Torrefaction is employed to upgrade bagasse as a better fuel compared with raw bagasse in power plant. Torrefied bagasse is coal-like solid fuel. It contains high energy density that is similar to coal, but higher than for wood pellets....
SIMEC conducted test production of torrefied PKS at three typical temperatures. The torrefied PKS features higher calorific value, higher energy density, higher HGI, higher hydrophobicity, lower risk of spontaneous combustion and biodegradation....
Integrated with coarse grinder, SIMEC pulverizing plant is capable of handling large sizes of materials. The output fineness is dynamically adjustable, ranging 60 to 3000 mesh. Carbon steel and stainless steel type are available....
