Effect of heat integration method and torrefaction temperature on the performance of an integrated CHP-torrefaction plant
Sermyagina, Ekaterina; Saari, Jussi; Zakeri, Behnam; Kaikko, Juha; Vakkilainen, Esa (Elsevier, 01.07.2015)An important factor for industrial-scale implementation of torrefaction – a thermal pre-treatment technology that enhances the fuel characteristics of biomass – is the requirement for a low-cost source of heat energy. ... -
Fast oxidative pyrolysis of eucalyptus wood residues to replace fossil oil in pulp industry
Mendoza-Martinez, Clara; Sermyagina, Ekaterina; Saari, Jussi; Faria Ramos, Vinicius; Vakkilainen, Esa; Cardoso, Marcelo; Alves Rocha, Elem Patricia (Elsevier, 15.01.2023)This study evaluates the potential of the oxidative fast pyrolysis (OFP) of eucalyptus wood residues (EWR) for producing bio-oil to replace fossil fuels in the lime kilns of the pulp industry. OFP is an alternative to ... -
Hydrothermal carbonization of coniferous biomass: Effect of process parameters on mass and energy yields
Sermyagina, Ekaterina; Saari, Jussi; Kaikko, Juha; Vakkilainen, Esa (Elsevier, 05 / 2015)Hydrothermal carbonization of biomass presents a promising way to improve fuel characteristics of biomass without preliminary drying. In this process, feedstock is subjected to heating with water at temperatures between ... -
Hydrothermal carbonization of lignocellulosic agro-forest based biomass residues
Mendoza Martinez, Clara Lisseth; Sermyagina, Ekaterina; Saari, Jussi; Silva de Jesus, Marcia; Cardoso, Marcelo; Matheus de Almeida, Gustavo; Vakkilainen, Esa (Elsevier, 25.02.2021)To increase the understanding of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of lignocellulosic biomass residues, four feedstocks: giant bamboo, coffee wood, eucalyptus, and coffee parchment, were studied. The effect of operating ... -
Integration of torrefaction and CHP plant: Operational and economic analysis
Sermyagina, Ekaterina; Saari, Jussi; Kaikko, Juha; Vakkilainen, Esa (Elsevier, 01.12.2016)Biomass torrefaction is a pre-treatment technology with high potential to convert biomass into a valuable commodity. The heat integration of torrefaction and combined heat and power (CHP) plant was investigated in previous ... -
