"Briefly, the book provides a detailed but user friendly guidance of the state of art of biomass thermal conversion processes, namely, torrefaction, pyrolysis and gasification. The chapters guide readers through the book, illustrating the theoretical principles, operational parameters and equipment needed in the preliminary design of reactors. The book is mainly intended for professionals, such as sales engineers, project managers and scientists, to assist them in achieving the knowledge required to address the increasing market demand for full-scale technologies or to focus on developing mandatory improvements." --Detritus
Biomass Gasification, Pyrolysis and Torrefaction, Third Edition, is enhanced with a new topic on processing and cleaning of product gas of gasification and a brief introduction to biomaterials, making it a versatile resource that not only explains the basic principles of energy conversion systems, but also provides valuable insight into the design of a complete biomass conversion systems. With a dedicated focus on the design, analysis and operational aspects of biomass gasification, pyrolysis and torrefaction, this edition offers comprehensive coverage of biomass in its gas, liquid or solid states in a single accessible source. The author provides many worked design problems, step-by-step design procedures and real data on commercially operating systems. Although the book carries the name ‘biomass’, the bulk of its content is also applicable to non-biomass fuels like coal, petcoke, municipal solid waste and others. This book will help engineers, scientists and operating personnel of biomass gasification, pyrolysis or torrefaction plants, gain better comprehension of the basics of biomass conversion.
