Title: Rapid production of hydrothermally carbonized biomass via reactive twin-screw extrusion

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1600147
; ; ; ;

A system for the production of carbonized biomass that includes an infeed for accepting biomass feed material and an associated twin screw extruder. A water heater is connected with respect to at least one inlet along a length of the twin screw extruder and a pressure sustaining valve is connected at an outlet of the twin screw extruder.
