Co-gasification of biomass and plastics was investigated in a 100 kW dual fluidized-bed pilot plant using four types plastic material different origins soft wood pellets. The proportion varied within broad range to assess the interaction materials. product gas composition considerably influenced by co-gasification, whereas changes were nonlinear. More CO CO2 measured from co-gasification than would be expected linear interpolation mono-gasification Less CH4 C2H4 formed, tar content lower...
Solar thermal heat and pumps are key technologies to increase the share of renewable energy in industry facilitate an independent supply. Within Austrian research project “Renewable process – integration solar industrial processes” (short EnPro) 12 case studies were performed have shown high potential for combined pump systems on supply as well level integration. Based assessment different combination concepts from a technical economic point view, standardised two developed. Thereby,...
Carbon capture based on chemical absorption in amine-based solvents is the most relevant technology option to reduce CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources and power plants. Because of energy consumption carbon process, which mainly attributed heating desorber, has a negative impact efficiency process where removed. Heat pumps allow for heat recovery provide high temperature heat. Due recent developments, are now capable supplying steam providing temperatures enabling new...
Compared with hot air as drying medium, superheated steam has several advantages agent, such faster rates due to a higher overall heat transfer coefficient and lower viscosity allowing for better penetration of pores.It is already an established technology in processes the food industry, well biomass pet food.In state-of-the-art paper production, most energy intensive process step air.Using interesting alternative enabling more efficient recovery.This contribution presents different recovery...
