torrefaction of woody biomass," ENERGY & FUELS, vol.
Since Terra Preta, as an aggregated mixture of organic and inorganic phases, is effective in promoting soil fertility, a program has been initiated at the University of New South Wales, in collaboration with Comell University, Industry & Investment NSW, and Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia, to develop synthetic high organo-mineral micro-aggregates (termed synthetic Terra Preta, STP) using a process of 'biomass
torrefaction'.
While the process of
torrefaction is nothing new, NC State's particular torrefier machine, called the Autothermic Transportable
Torrefaction Machine (ATTM), is field portable and self-heated.
(4) Combining
torrefaction and pelletization, with leaching biomass, and combining biomass pyrolysis with char washing are interesting options for pre-treatment processes, especially for herbaceous biomass (which currently is not often considered for co-firing).
Assessing the integration of
torrefaction into wood pellet production.

Specific topics include northern Tibet grassland vegetation index factor screening and suitability partition, residence time distribution and disinfectant mixing in private water tanks, the effect of temperature on the
torrefaction of food waste using a heat carrier, the performance of a batch rotating fixed bed of scrap bearing iron spheres in hexavalent chromium reduction, and effects of low temperature stress and release on the fluorescence indexes of greening seedlings of three tree species.
Il s'agit d'une unite de production avicole d'une capacite de 850 plaques/jour extensible, d'une laiterie d'une capacite theorique de 7.000 litres/jour et d'une unite de
torrefaction de cafe.
Apart from these, new evolving technologies that densify woody biomass, such as
torrefaction, briquetting and densification, can significantly increase the energy value of the raw materials.
The trick is to build village-sized
torrefaction plants in farming communities.
