What Is Torrefaction?

Torrefaction is a drying process in which the wood is subjected to a temperature of 200-300 degrees centigrade at near atmospheric pressure. At this temperature the biomass partially decomposes altering the chemical nature of the wood. This alteration consists of a loss of oxygen and hydrogen leaving behind a larger concentration of carbon. The result of this process is a wood product that has a very low moisture uptake and consequently a low rate of biological degradation. Torrefaction of wood is a natural preservation process which is achieved without the application of chemicals.
