Overview

Experimental analysis of torrefied pellets from maize residues and cocopeat reveals optimal conditions for fuel quality enhancement.

Key Points

  • Increasing maize residue content decreases ash and fuel ratio, enhancing volatile matter presence.
  • Torrefaction significantly boosts calorific value up to 21.83 MJ/kg and improves grindability.
  • Optimal performance in energy yield and combustion is observed at 250 °C during torrefaction.
  • A trade-off between combustion stability and ignition behaviour is noted with higher torrefaction severity.
