dc.description.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 were evaluated using TGA analysis. Type of biomass, temperature residence time for torrefaction plays a vital role in an effective torrefaction process. The torrefaction process is then carried out according to the results obtained via TGA analysis to obtain an efficient torrefaction process.	en_US
