Expected impact and exploitation<br />
A detailed chemical characterisation of tar-water<br />
from updraft biomass gasification (and compared<br />
to data available on other processes) will be<br />
carried out. The SCWO/G process will be<br />
optimised for biomass gasifier waste water from<br />
product gas clean-up. Kinetic mechanisms<br />
and mathematical tools will be made available<br />
for process scale-up. Process full-scale<br />
characteristics will be evaluated and described.<br />
The use of the developed technology will<br />
considerably improve the market penetration of<br />
biomass gasification based CHP and therefore<br />
reduce energy production related CO2 emission.<br />
When biomass utilisation is increased in this way<br />
it will be possible to create local employment for<br />
the handling of the biomass fuel and also for the<br />
actual operation of the plant.<br />
Progress to date<br />
DETAR was initiated 1 January 2003 and so far<br />
several experiments using the LSU have been<br />
carried out. The design of the PDU is well under<br />
way using information from the LSU experiments.<br />
In connection with the PDU design, preliminary<br />
dimensioning software has been devised parallel<br />
to the development of the full mathematical<br />
model. Further raw tar-water and cleaned water<br />
has been initially characterised and gas analysed,<br />
based on the LSU experiments. During the<br />
remaining part of 2003, the PDU will be built, the<br />
software improved and experiments using<br />
catalysts (e.g. carbon) will be carried out.<br />
