METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DRYING BIOMASS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a drying method and system for removing water from biomass material. The method comprising the steps of: (a) heating said biomass material with a heating fluid to release water from said biomass by evaporation, wherein the heating fluid has been heated with heat generated by a chiller condenser condensing refrigerant from a gas phase to a liquid phase; (b) recovering heat from said heating fluid that has been in contact with said biomass in step (a), by thermally coupling the heating fluid to the refrigerant in the liquid phase to thereby evaporate the refrigerant to the gas phase.
