Abstract
Wet biomass comprises diverse organic wastes, which are discarded vastly in our society. Energy production from them, therefore, is significant. In this paper, an energy-saving dryer named VCC (vapor compression and condensation) is proposed to dehydrate wet biomass. The dried biomass could be used as a fuel to generate electricity. It was estimated the VCC dryer process would generate more electricity than anaerobic digestion. A scheme employing the VCC dryer was proposed to utilize various biomass resources regardless of wet and dry.
