Biomass Torrefaction Plant
Torrefied Palm Kernel Shell
Torrefaction is a kind of new way for biomass utilization, it is a mild pyrolysis process that increase the value of biomass. This thermal pretreatment of biomass improves its energy density, reduces its oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio, and reduces its hygroscopic nature.
SIMEC biomass torrefaction plant is the ideal equipment to convert the biomass raw materials, such as sawdust, PKS (palm kernel shell), coconut shell, rice husk, peanut shell, crop stalk, log bark, sunflower shell etc, to torrefied biomass called BIO-COAL with high fixed carbon via destructive distillation and anaerobic carbon.
It is an absolute environment friendly equipment. The flue gas, carbon monoxide (CO1), methane ( CH4 ), hydrogen etc, generated during the torrefaction process are recycled and purified to syngas as the heating resource of the equipment. The internal recycle of the flue gas provides sufficient heating, becoming the absolute energy-saving and free-emission equipment.
