Claim:
1. A torrefaction reactor comprising: a vibrating reactor; a solid plate bifurcating the vibrating reactor into a bottom plenum and a top plenum, said solid plate sealed to said vibrating reactor such that said bottom plenum and said top plenum are gas-tight sealed one from the other; motors having offset weights for vibrating said vibrating reactor, said solid plate angled downwardly such that vibration of said vibrating reactor results in movement of a biomass from an input to an output, wherein the solid plate further comprises a waffle plate having a non-planar surface with multiple protuberances, whereby the multiple protuberances act as an integrated heat exchanger for a conductive transfer of heat from non-volatile gas in the bottom plenum to the top plenum biomass.
