AN APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS CONVERSION OF BIOMASS AND OR REFUSE DERIVED FUEL IN TO CARBON ENRICHED FUEL

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for generating charcoal. The apparatus (100) includes a torrefaction reactor (102) including a rotating drum (108) a furnace (110). The rotating drum (108) is adapted to receive the in-feed raw material via a hopper (104) by using a feeder (106) coupled to a feeding side (112) of the torrefaction reactor (102). The furnace (110) includes a plurality of burners (124) configured to indirectly heat the in-feed raw material for generating volatiles (126). An ignition chamber (138) and a heat exchanger (144) configured to generate hot flue gas (140) and hot air (148) to torrefy the in-feed raw material. A torrefied mass collector drum (156) coupled at a discharge side (154) configured to continuously receive the torrefied mass generated in the torrefaction reactor (102).
