“…As a consequence of the current interest in renewable, CO2-neutral energy sources, the share of biomass in the fuel feedstock increases, and so does the demand for improved process efficiency and fuel-flexibility, which, in turn, requires a better understanding of thermochemical biomass conversion [3]. Research-and pilot-scale entrained flow reactors (EFRs) that resemble industrial systems with high heating rates and short residence times [4] are valuable tools to investigate fuel conversion [5] and ash formation [6,7], and to improve process modelling by validation of kinetic models [8,9] and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations [10,11]. If equipped with optical access windows, such droptube reactors allow studying the progress of fuel conversion online via in situ measurements in the reaction zone.…”

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is employed for simultaneous detection of gas temperature, water vapor (H2O) and gas-phase atomic potassium, K(g), in an atmospheric, research-scale entrained flow reactor (EFR). In situ measurements are conducted at four different locations in the EFR core to study the progress of thermochemical conversion of softwood and Miscanthus powders with focus on the primary potassium reactions. In an initial validation step during propane flame operation, the measured axial EFR profiles of H2O density-weighted, path-averaged temperature, path-averaged H2O concentration and H2O column density are found in good agreement with 2D CFD simulations and standard flue gas analysis. During biomass conversion, temperature and H2O are significantly higher than for the propane flame, up to 1500 K and 9%, respectively, and K(g) concentrations between 0.2 and 270

“…Accompanying research into the bioliq entrained-flow gasifier is being carried out within the Energy Efficiency, Materials, and Resources (EMR) energy research program of the HGF and the Helmholtz Virtual Institute Gasification Technology (HVIGas-Tech) joint research cooperation [9]. This is where the following subprocesses are being studied: (i) atomization of high-viscosity suspensions under pressure [10], (ii) heterogeneous reaction kinetics of coke particles [11], (iii) heat transport of particles and gas at high pressure [12], and (iv) slag production and factors influencing slag flow [13].…”

The bioliq process was developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for the production of synthetic fuels from dry biomass residues. Biofuels of high quality are produced sustainably in various process steps. This multistage process not only considers the necessity for decentralized supply of the biomass, but also the necessity for a large centralized fuel synthesis that benefits from economy of scale. The entire process chain of pyrolysis, gasification, gas cleaning, and synthesis is operated on a pilot scale at KIT. The high-pressure entrained-flow gasifier converts the biomass, pretreated in a fast pyrolysis step, into a synthesis gas for the production of gasoline in the subsequent synthesis step. The first experimental results from the pilot plant are presented in this paper.

Das bioliq®‐Verfahren wurde am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) zur Herstellung von synthetischen Kraftstoffen aus Restbiomasse entwickelt. Das mehrstufige Verfahren berücksichtigt sowohl die dezentrale Verfügbarkeit von Biomasse als auch die Notwendigkeit einer großtechnischen Synthese von Kraftstoffen. Der gesamte Prozess wird im Pilotmaßstab am KIT betrieben. Der Hochdruckflugstromvergaser, von Air Liquide Global E&C Solutions, wandelt die in einer Schnellpyrolyse vorbehandelte Biomasse in Synthesegas um, das in der anschließenden Synthese zur Benzinproduktion eingesetzt wird. Erste Ergebnisse der Anlage werden präsentiert.
