“…The HHV significantly increased with torrefaction temperature than reaction time. This tendency is consistent with the previous work [7,9], and is mainly due to the carbon content increase meanwhile the oxygen and hydrogen decrease. This decrease in hydrogen and oxygen is due to dehydration and de-carbondioxide from the biomass during torrefaction [10].…”

Abstract. Oil palm frond can be used as alternative energy source by torrefaction process. Torrefaction is a treatment process of biomass into solid fuel by heating within temperature range of 200-300°C in an inert environment. This research aims to result solid fuel through torrefaction and to study the effect of process variable interaction. Torrefaction of oil palm frond was using fixed bed horizontal reactor with operation condition of temperature (225-275 °C), time (15-45 minutes) and nitrogen flow rate (50-150 ml/min). Responses resulted were calorific value and proximate (moisture, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon). Analysis result was processed by using Design Expert v7.0.0. Result obtained for calorific value was 17.700-19.600 kJ/kg and for the proximate were moisture range of 3-4%; ash range of 1.5-4%; volatile matter of 45-55% and fixed carbon of 37-46%. The most affecting factor signficantly towards the responses was temperature then followed by time and nitrogen flow rate.

“…Recently, the torrefaction of various biomass resources was examined in the literature, namely: tomato industry residues [10], olive mill waste [11], cotton stalk [12], food waste [13], Pinus radiata wood [14], oil palm fibre [15], grass [16], wheat and barley straw [17]. Several investigations focused basically on the effect of torrefaction operating conditions such as temperature, residence time and gas composition on the mass and energy yields [18].…”

“…A small number of gas phase thermal conversion studies, such as gasification, have been reported [34]. Very recently, a substantial number of torrefaction studies for high moisture biomass, such as microalgae [35], olive pomace [36], food waste [37], and tomato peel [38], have been reported. However, there has been no torrefaction study for macroalgae so far.…”
