FIELD: power industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention describes a method of biomass torrefaction in torrefaction reactor to produce burnt biomass and gases of torrefaction, wherein an oxygen-containing gas is fed into the torrefaction reactor in the first reactor position so that the oxygen reacts with the components of torrefaction gases with the release of heat, and wherein the torrefaction gases are withdrawn from the torrefaction reactor in the second torrefaction reactor position, and wherein the first position is located downstream of the second position relative to the biomass movement direction in the torrefaction reactor so that the torrefaction gases move in the torrefaction reactor countercurrently to the biomass movement, and wherein the biomass has a temperature from 30°C to 230°C at the torrefaction reactor inlet. Version of biomass torrefaction method, sprayed burnt biomass use and system for biomass torrefaction are also disclosed.
EFFECT: providing torrefaction process, which increases the energy yield during torrefaction process, increases the energy density in the burnt product and reduces requirement of energy necessary for crushing the burnt material into a fine powder.
