OXIDATIVE TORREFACTION FOR PULVERIZED PALM BIOMASS USING AIR

Jurnal Teknologi, 2017
Torrefaction is one of the promising ways to utilize abundant amount of empty fruit bunch (EFB) and palm kernel shell (PKS) while upgrading the combustion properties of both types of palm biomass. However, the supply of costly inert gas during torrefaction process such as nitrogen in large industrial sector may not be economical.
