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 />
