Definitions
- the application relates generally to a torrefaction apparatus.
- Background Torrefaction thermal process
- biomass such as wood chips, saw or cutter dust, logging residue, straw or peat
- torrefaction surpasses drying (evaporation), but falls clearly short of pyrolysis.
- Torrefaction is preceded by the drying of biomass. Torrefaction itself enables some of the lignin, as well as volatile components and extracts, e.g. sugar, to be removed from biomass, i.e. torrefaction is analogous to thermal treatment of sawn timber. Torrefied biomass without densification is lighter than the original, produces less smoke when burning, and has lesser-than-original particulate emissions. Torrefaction particularly improves the heating value of biomass, typically by about 10-22%. In addition, the increased hydrophobicity improves the preservability of a resulting product. Torrefied biomass is generally darker than the original.
- Torrefied biomass has a solid carbon content of about 25% and an energy content of about 90% with respect to the original. Torrefied biomass can also be pelletized, which is not the case with pyrolyzed biomass. Torrefied biocoal is suitable as fuel for a coal-fired power plant and relatively easy to store. Prior to torrefaction, biomass must be subjected to pre-drying for a moisture content of not higher than 10-20%.
- patent application US 201 1 179700 A1 discloses a system for tor- refaction of biomass, said system including a preheater, a torrefaction reactor, and a furnace.
- the preheater is configured to heat biomass from a first temperature to a desired torrefaction temperature.
- the torrefaction reactor is configured to maintain heating of the biomass at the desired torrefaction tempera- ture for a desired period of time to generate torrefied biomass.
- the furnace is configured to generate and convey heat to the preheater and the torrefaction reactor.
- Patent US 8105400 B2 discloses a process for treating biomass, wherein the biomass is heated to a torrefying temperature in a low-oxygen atmosphere in a torrefaction reactor, wherein the biomass is converted into torrefied biomass.
- the biomass with a certain residual moisture is fully dried in a drying chamber by evaporation of the residual moisture.
- the torrefaction reactor comprises a torrefying chamber in which the torrefaction of the dried biomass is carried out.
- the biomass is conveyed through the torrefaction reactor in a transport direc- tion. Drying of the biomass in the drying chamber is carried out by introducing into it a hot drying gas that flows through the drying chamber in co-current with the biomass.
- Torrefaction of the biomass is carried out by introducing into it a hot torrefying gas that flows through the torrefying chamber in counter-current to the biomass.
- the prior known torrefaction methods and equipment are relatively complicated, inefficient, and expensive.
- the one objective of the invention is attained with a torrefaction apparatus of claim 1 and a torrefaction method of claim 9.
- the torrefaction apparatus has a conveying channel adapted to pass a material to be torrefied, said conveying channel comprising openings for enabling torrefaction and being divided into at least one zone, and torrefaction means adapted to transfer thermal energy into a torrefying gas used for torrefaction and to introduce the torrefying gas into the conveying channel essentially in a cross-flow by way of its openings.
- the torrefaction apparatus is further provided with measuring means adapted to measure temperature of the flowing torrefying gas in the vicinity of the conveying channel, and with control means which, jointly with the torrefaction means, enable a zone-specific adjustment of the torrefying gas temperature and flowing direction on the basis of measurement data received from the measuring means.
- the torrefaction method comprises passing a material to be torrefied in a conveying channel, which comprises openings for enabling torrefaction and which is divided into at least one zone, and using tor- refaction means to transfer thermal energy into a torrefying gas used for torre- faction, and using the torrefaction means to introduce the torrefying gas into the conveying channel essentially in a cross-flow by way of its openings.
- the method further comprises the use of measuring means for measuring temperature of the flowing torrefying gas in the vicinity of the conveying channel and the use of control means and the torrefaction means for adjusting the tempera- ture and flowing direction of the torrefying gas in a zone-specific manner on the basis of measurement data received from the measuring means.
- Fig. 1 shows a torrefaction apparatus 1 1 in a structural cross-section.
- the apparatus 1 1 is intended for the drying and/or torrefaction of a material to be torrefied, for example biomass, for example wood chips, wood dust, straw or peat.
- the apparatus 1 1 is provided with a permanently upright conveying channel 3 with openings (not shown) in its walls.
- the tall, narrow and long, duct type conveying channel 3 - and the apparatus 1 1 as a whole - is divided in vertical direction into at least one zone 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d.
- Fig. 1 depicts four zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, which can be partitioned for example with intact solid walls to isolate the zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d from each other.
- the apparatus 1 1 is highly space- efficient. In addition, it can be located outdoors, whereby the apparatus 1 1 does not even require a building.
- the conveying channel 3 may also be permanently inclined to some angle other than vertical or horizontal or the apparatus 1 1 may comprise am inclina- ble conveying channel 3 capable of being inclined with tipping means to a desired angle other than horizontal plane.
- the upright, inclined or inclinable conveying channel 3 allows for the passage of biomass without separate forwarding means as the biomass travels gravita- tionally from top downwards in a continuous and undisturbed plug flow.
- the utilization of gravity in the passage of biomass allows the apparatus 1 1 to have a structure that is simple and more reliable in operation as the passage of biomass in a hot environment does not require separate forwarding means, which are susceptible to malfunctions due to the conditions.
- the conveying channel 3 can also be horizontal, whereby the passage of biomass requires conveyor means, for example a conveyor belt.
- the apparatus 1 1 is provided with supply means 1 , 2 for feeding biomass into the conveying channel 3.
- the biomass is delivered by way of a rotary feeder 1 , and a screw conveyor (feed screw) 2 distributes the biomass across the entire breadth of the wide conveying channel 3, after which the biomass starts to flow steadily by the action of gravity towards a bottom part 3b of the conveying channel 3.
- Each zone 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d is provided with torrefaction means 5, 6, comprising a heat exchanger (radiator) 5 for transferring thermal energy to a torrefying gas used for torrefaction.
- the heat transfer medium used in the heat exchanger 5 is e.g. hot oil or high-pressure steam (>60 bar).
- the heat transfer means 5, 6 comprise a fan 6 for blowing the torrefying gas through the conveying channel 3 and the biomass essentially in a cross-flow relative to the conveying channel 3 and the biomass flowing direction by way of openings present in the conveying channel 3.
- the blowing direction may change or remain the same, whereby, if necessary, the biomass can be circulated several times through the apparatus 1 1 .
- the change of blowing direction or the circulation of biomass improves the end product in terms of the consistency of its quality.
- the torrefying gas refers to a gas, which is used in torrefaction for the transfer of heat and which comprises for example superheated water vapor or water vapor containing extracts released from a material to be torrefied.
- Each fan 6 has capability of supplying the conveying channel 3 with torrefying gas through openings in the wall of the conveying channel at a rate of speed sufficient to develop turbulent currents around biomass particles present in the conveying channel 3 for maximizing the transfer of energy from the flow simultaneously to each biomass particle.
- the apparatus 1 1 has measuring means (not shown), for example at least one temperature sensor, which are adapted to measure temperature of a flowing torrefying gas in the vicinity of the conveying channel 3, having been installed for example on a suction or pressure side of the fans 6.
- the latter can be installed on suction and pressure sides so as to straddle the conveying channel 3.
- zone 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d is provided with several temperature sensors, the latter can be set for example in rows of one or more temperature sensors at various heights (as a network) in the vertical direction of the conveying channel 3.
- the apparatus 1 1 is further provided with control means (not shown), which are adapted to control the zone-specific torrefaction means 5, 6 of each zone 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, for example for raising the torrefying gas temperature, for lowering the torrefying gas temperature (cooling), for changing the torrefying gas flowing direction and/or for inertization by means of the torrefying gas, on the basis of measurement data received from the measuring means.
- control means not shown
- control means are adapted to control the zone-specific torrefaction means 5, 6 of each zone 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, for example for raising the torrefying gas temperature, for lowering the torrefying gas temperature (cooling), for changing the torrefying gas flowing direction and/or for inertization by means of the torrefying gas, on the basis of measurement data received from the measuring means.
- the control means make it possible to control one or more zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, or all the zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d at a time.
- Torrefied biomass is unloaded from the bottom part 3b of the conveying channel 3 with discharge means 4, comprising a discharge roller assembly (dis- charge screw) 4 for discharging the torrefied biomass across the entire breadth of the conveying channel 3 and a rotary feeder 9 for unloading the torrefied biomass from the apparatus 1 1 .
- the screw conveyor 2, conveying channel 3, heat exchangers 5, fans 6 and discharge roller assembly 4 of the apparatus 1 1 make up a compact unit, by means of which the drying and/or torrefaction of biomass can be performed efficiently and economically.
- the complete torrefaction plant includes as an essential component a hot dryer, wherein the material is supplied with drying energy through the intermediary of superheated steam.
- the apparatus 1 1 can also function as a dryer, since the operating principle of a dryer matches that of the apparatus 1 1 but with a lower applied temperature. Due to a lower temperature, the biomass does not undergo thermal modification and the process does not require inertization, which is why the rotary feeders 1 , 9 are not necessary in regard to operation of the dryer.
- the rotary feeders 1 , 9 are needed in torrefaction as the process must take place in inertized conditions in which the temperature sur- passes the ignition temperature of a processed biomass.
- Inertization is mainly conducted by means of water evaporating from biomass, but also, when necessary, by feeding water or water vapor into the torrefaction apparatus 1 1 should the water released from biomass be not enough to maintain the oxygen content of the apparatus 1 1 at a sufficiently low level.
- the apparatus 1 1 is further provided with an overpressure damper 7, by means of which it is maintained at overpressure and by means of which is conducted a removal of resulting process gases, i.e. water vapor and substances evaporating from biomass.
- the apparatus 1 1 is maintained at overpressure in order to prevent the leaks, possibly developed in operation, from causing a fire/explosion hazard which results if oxygen is allowed into the apparatus 1 1 .
- the process gases are condensed in the apparatus 1 1 in a condenser (not shown) included therein, and are conducted to combustion or to an appropriate cleaning process. It is possible that drying and torrefaction be conducted in a single apparatus 1 1 by adjusting the zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d individually pursuant to the requirements of drying and torrefaction. The zone-specific adjustment of gas amount may nevertheless lead to imbalance in the apparatus 1 1 . Indeed, the apparatus 1 1 can be therefore equipped with a bypass channel 8 with a function of maintaining a gas balance in the apparatus 1 1 .
- the pre-drying will be conducted by the heat exchangers 5 in the upper part at a lower temperature and the apparatus 1 1 has its lower part provided for torrefaction with the heat exchangers 5 generating a higher temperature.
- the drying phase takes place typically in a first apparatus 1 1 , after which the process can be carried on with a torrefaction phase in a separate second apparatus 1 1 working on the same operating principle.
- the plant can be further provided with a pre-drying feature, wherein the low temperature residual heat resulting from steam coming out of the apparatus 1 1 and from thermal energy production can be utilized for thereby improving the plant's energy efficiency.
- the apparatus 1 1 is operating continuously, the desired handling process being achieved by regulating the motion speed of biomass and the conditions of various zones 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d.
- the apparatus 1 1 can be a batch operating system, employing conveyors for filling with biomass which during the course of drying and/or torre- faction is stationary in the conveying channel 3, and the course of the process is controlled by means of the amount and temperature of air circulating in the apparatus 1 1 .
- the cooling phase is followed by unloading the apparatus 1 1 with the discharge roller assembly 4.
