Abstract

A method for torrefaction of biomass using a torrefaction reactor vessel having stacked trays including: feeding the biomass to an upper inlet of the vessel such that the biomass material is deposited on an upper tray of a vertical stack of trays in the reactor; cascading the biomass down through the trays by passing the biomass through an opening in each of the trays to deposit the biomass on a lower tray; as the biomass moves around each of the stacked trays, heating the biomass material with an oxygen deprived gas; extracting moisture containing gas having passed through the biomass on the upper trays wherein the extraction is immediately below each of the upper trays; as the biomass undergoes torrefaction in the lower trays of the stacked trays, retaining the gas with the biomass until the biomass falls from the stacked trays to a pile of biomass in the reactor vessel; exhausting gases containing organic compounds volatized by the torrefaction of the biomass through a gas outlet on the vessel at an elevation between the stacked trays and the pile of biomass, and discharging torrefied biomass from a lower outlet of the torrefaction reactor vessel.
