  • Biomass torrefaction for cofiring in coal power plant 
    Karunathilaka, SASAL; Ratnayake, RMKGJ [Conference-Extended-Abstract]
    Torrifaction is a thermochemical process used to enhance the energy content of biomass. This study is based on torrefaction of wood materials with different qualities. The suitable ranges of temperatures for torrefaction ...
  • Carbonization of urban bio waste in Sri Lanka 
    Bandara, AMHS; Gunathilaka, T; Pieirs, KCA; Narayana, M [Conference-Extended-Abstract]
    The research scope was set to study the compatibility of applying torrefaction for bio-waste of Sri Lanka. For this purpose, it was decided to analyze the before and after torrefaction properties of a sample with Sri Lankan ...
  • Modeling of thermochemical conversion of waste biomass – a comprehensive review 
    Perera, SMHD; Wickramasinghe, C; Samarasiri, BKT; Narayana, M [Article-Full-text]
    Thermochemical processes, which include pyrolysis, torrefaction, gasification, combustion, and hydrothermal conversions, are perceived to be more efficient in converting waste biomass to energy and value-added products ...
  • Torrefaction of urban bio-waste in Sri Lanka 
    Rasanjani, C; Gunathilaka, T; Pieris, C; Bandara, H; Narayana, M [Conference-Abstract]
    Nowadays, the increasing amount of municipal solid waste generation in Sri Lanka, has become a national concern. In this study, the main objective was to investigate the feasibility of application of torrefaction process ...
  • Torrefaction severity and performance of Rubberwood and Gliricidia 
    Devaraja, Udya Madhavi Aravindi; Senadheera, Sachini Supunsala; Gunarathne, Duleeka Sandamali [Article-Full-text]
    Lab-scale torrefaction experiments of Rubberwood and Gliricidia were conducted at 250-300 oC and 30–60 min in a nitrogen environment to understand the torrefaction behavior. TGA and FTIR were used to characterize raw and ...
