"The polymeric structure of woody and herbaceous biomass comprises mainly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin."
During torrefaction mainly the hemicellulose is decomposed -Water, CO2, CO and various organic acids are transferred into the gaseous phase.
Main decomposition regimes are based on Koukis et.al. (1982)

Densification: Briquetting
Hydraulic press
Tests performed in Frohnleiten demo plant
�up to now ~10 t briquettes produced, smooth operation, single briquette density up to > 1,1 kg/l
Tests have included variations in severalfactors, such as torrefaction degree,water content, capacity etc which hasinfluence on final quality of briquette.

Torrefied product quality� Improved grindability compared to wood pellets� High net calorific value of 20-22 MJ/kg� High energy density of >14 GJ/m³ (wood pellets: 10-12 GJ/m³)
=> Lower costs for transport and handling compared to wood pellets� Increased hydrophobicity => improved logistics properties� Combustion/Co-combustion (coal substitute) in conventional power plants � Low sulphur and low ash compared to coal � Better combustion behaviour compared to non-torrefied biomass� Capacity constraints of power plant significantly reduced compared to wood pellets
ANDRITZ experience� Extensive long term in-house R&D related to torrefaction� ANDRITZ has licensed key technology from ECN� Two operating demo plants integrated with densification� Pulp industry technology know-how gives great advantage � ANDRITZ is capable to deliver complete torrefaction plants
