烘焙是热化学过程，在这过程中，木材生物质的水分含量减少，同时增加它的能量密度，将其转化成一个烧焦的材料类似木炭。烘焙可以降低木材的质量，^多至30％，从而导致更致密，价值较高的材料，可输送比木屑更经济。此能量密度的^终产品可以用来作为一个替换为煤或煤发电厂共同烧制。

Heyl & Patterson的话题发表了一份白皮书，“木材生物量，烘焙的”，这是在东北生物质2011年10月12日至13日在匹兹堡会议上介绍。这种新的白皮书是我们继续努力向我们的客户对我们的产品线和应用程序，他们可以利用的一部分。白皮书的Renneburg荃湾分区热加工解决方案的一部分，象征着蓝色的配色方案。

本白皮书讨论的的烘焙过程和旋转煅烧炉用于torrefy木，以及Heyl & Patterson的烘焙技术的优势。还深入研究了烘焙木的用途和好处，并使用它作为生物煤的原因。

Torrefaction is the thermochemical process in which the moisture content of wood biomass is reduced while its energy density is increased, transforming it into a charred material resembling charcoal. Torrefaction can reduce the mass of the wood by up to 30%, resulting in a denser, higher-valued material that can be transported more economically than wood chips. This energy-dense end product can be used as a replacement for coal or co-fired with coal in electric power plants.

Heyl & Patterson has published a white paper on the topic, "Torrefaction of Wood Biomass," which was introduced at the Northeast Biomass Conference in Pittsburgh on October 12-13, 2011. This new white paper is part of our continuing efforts to update our customers on our product lines and applications with which they may be utilized. As part of the Renneburg Divison for thermal processing solutions, the white paper is signified by its blue color scheme.

This white paper discusses the torrefaction process and the Rotary Calciners used to torrefy wood, as well as the advantages of Heyl & Patterson's torrefaction technology. It also delves into the uses for and benefits of torrefied wood, and the reasons to use it as bio-coal.
