Introduction: Our group seeks to understand the relationship between some biomass compositional parameters such as: cellulose crystallinity and degree of polymerization, content of hemicelluloses and molecular weight and structure of lignin, the pyrolysis conditions and the distribution of products resulting from their Thermochemical reactions. These fundamental studies are carried out with the aid of .
Jul 15, 2014· Hybrid thermochemical routes show promise for high conversion and yield to fungible liquid hydrocarbon fuels. High temperature cofeeding of biomass and methane was shown to enable production of syngas with an enriched hydrogen content that could be used specifically for catalytic conversion to liquid hydrocarbons, increasing endproduct yield compared to conventional .
the reactor. While in bubbling fluidized bed reactors heat transfer is mainly accomplished through solid–gas interactions, in auger reactors heat transfer to biomass particles largely results from direct contact between the particles and the wall. A large biomass feed rate will reduce the percentage of biomass particles that directly contact the wall, resulting in less biomass being pyrolyzed. In the .
Computational Thermochemical Conversion Program. ... In an auger reactor, biomass particles and steel shots, serving as heat carriers, are packed inside the reactor. The dense solid flows are pushed forward by the auger, and the physicochemical processes of converting biomass to tar, syngas, and biochar are extremely complex. ...
The other large area of biomass technologies for energy production is represented by thermochemical processes. These types of processes are conducted on hightemperature conditions. High temperatures, possibly with the addition of an oxidant, are capable of converting biomass into liquid, solid or gaseous products. Direct combustion falls in this

MOON INTERACTION – Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass Ralph P. Overend part of the input bioma ss to provide the heat for pyrolysis and gasification. When oxidant is air, the product contains about 50% nitrogen. As a result the gas heating value of the fuel gas ranges from 4 6 MJ Nm3. If pure oxygen is used gasification will produce medium
Biomass can be converted to energy by three ways: biochemically, through microbial fermentation and, lastly, via thermochemical processes. The biochemical approach includes digestion (aerobic and anaerobic) whereas the fermentation process takes place in the presence of microbes that convert the starch and sugar in feedstocks into liquid chemicals and fuels.

The biomass feeding system consists of a sealed hopper with an internal stirrer and a screw feeder with a manually controlled speed panel. The solids in the pyrolysis vapors will be trapped in two cyclones in series immediately at the gas outlet of the fluidized bed reactor.
Mar 21, 2017· Thermochemical conversion is a technique to convert biomass into energy dense liquid/gas fuels utilizing heat in fluidized bed reactors. Design and scaleup of these reactors are mostly empirical, in part due to poor understanding of the underlying processes, relying heavily on pilotscale reactors studies, which are time consuming and expensive.
