Integration of Biomass Drying with Combustion/Gasification Technologies and Minimization of Emissions of Organic Compounds

The results presented describe the various methods used for drying wood and in particular wood chips for use in heating, heat and power and fuel recovery processes. The drying process is important in raising the calorific value of the wood feedstock and gives the opportunity to remove certain undesirable components. However, emissions from the drying process cannot be ignored as this paper describes.JRC.F.2-Cleaner energie
