Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of fuels from biogenic raw materials and to a plant for carrying out the process.
  • One of the proposed methods is the flash pyrolysis of biomass in a hot sand fluid bed with subsequent rapid condensation of the resulting pyrolysis oils.
  • Another proposed method is the so-called COREN method, which is a multi-step process.
  • a gasification by means of oxygen the so-called Carbo-V process for the production of synthesis gas (H2, CO, CO2).
  • a synthesis gas purification and CO 2 ⁇ scrubbing takes place.
  • the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis takes place, which ultimately leads to diesel by means of catalysis and condensation.
  • DE 100 49 377 C2 describes a process for lubricating plastics, fats, oils and other hydrocarbon-containing wastes. It can with the aid of a catalyst of sodium aluminum silicate in a circulation evaporator in the circulation with a base oil diesel be generated, which is subsequently separated by distillation and thus recovered.
  • DE 199 41497 describes an apparatus and a method for the catalytic leaching of wood by smoldering, burning the smoldered residues and burning the smoldering products in a container with honeycomb combustion catalysts at the top.
  • No. 4,648,965 describes a process for the preparation of liquid products from carbonaceous starting material which contains inorganic, catalytically active constituents.
  • US 4038172 describes a high pressure process for treating oxygenated starting materials, e.g. Wood, using a "red clay catalyst composition" in the presence of carbon monoxide.

  • reaction 150-250 ° C
  • Tire 250-300 ° C
  • the entrained flow gasification process generates a large amount of gas and coke due to the high temperatures required, the oil yield is only half that of liquid oiling and the oil quality is insufficient.
  • the catalytic recycle evaporator method according to DE 100 49 377 C2 is unsuitable for biomass (such as wood) because biomass contains only a few hydrocarbons and is composed predominantly of carbohydrates such as lignin and cellulose. Furthermore, biomass is not dissolved quickly enough in the circulation process and thus largely excreted again via the disclosed solids sluice. In addition, a fossil carrier oil, which has to be supplemented on an ongoing basis, is required. In addition, the catalyst used "sodium aluminum silicate" (molecular sieve powder) is very expensive and thus increases the operating costs. Another disadvantage of this method is that due to the process, the heating surfaces tend to heavy deposit formation in wood and thus economic operation is not possible. Finally, when wood is used as raw material, a relatively large amount of coal is also produced as residue, whose economic utilization or disposal in the circulation steam process is problematic.

The derived vapor is condensed and the condensate is passed into a water tank after phase separation. The uncondensed gas component is fed to the gas engine.
