This course deals with the technologies of converting biomass into upgraded fuels as well as direct combustion. Students are introduced to biomass conversion; physical conversion of biomass (drying, dewatering, densification); thermo-chemical conversion of biomass (torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification, combustion); heat and power applications; biogas production (digester design and kinetic considerations); ethanol and bio-diesel conversion technologies; and environmental impacts.
