Torrefaction process essentially aimed at making biomass suitable for subsequent processes such as [[pyrolysis]], [[hydrolysis]] and [[densification]]. Densification is one of the most prominent paths for processing torrefied biomass. Densification involves applying mechanical force on biomass to compact it into solid particles of uniform size such as pellets, briquettes and logs. Another area of application of torrefied biomass is in iron making. Biomass has the potential to cause reduction in fossil fuel usage in blast furnaces either as metallurgical coke production, iron ore agglomeration or pulverised coal in tuyere injection. | Torrefaction process essentially aimed at making biomass suitable for subsequent processes such as [[pyrolysis]], [[hydrolysis]] and [[densification]].
