Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING BIOFUEL
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a method and system for producing biofuel, such as 5 pellets, torrefied biomass, bio-coal, drying agent (bedding) or carbon based gases, as an example, of biomass, like dry manure, like livestock manure from cattle, pig or poultry farms, industrial or municipal waste, waste foodstuffs, or other like dry biomass or organic feedstock. Especially the invention relates to producing biofuel of biomass by thermochemical 10 treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Numbers of solutions are known from prior art for producing biofuel from organic feedstock, such as from livestock faeces. Different kinds of 15 treatments for producing e.g. biogas from organic feedstock are used, such as keeping and heating the organic feedstock in fermentation tanks as well as utilizing anaerobic digestion. Also other thermochemical treatment solutions are known for producing biofuel from biomass, such as torrefaction which is as a mild form of pyrolysis. During torrefaction, the biomass 20 properties are changed to obtain a much better fuel quality for combustion and gasification applications. The produced biofuel is e.g. bio-coal, which is dry product with no biological activity like rotting.
CO
0 The produced biofuel can also be densified (pelletisation or briquetting) so 4 that they are logistically economic and easier to transport and store. Pellets 0 ^ 25 Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment of biomass, and it is typically 1 carried out under atmospheric pressure in the absence of oxygen. During <0 the torrefaction process, the water contained in the biomass as well as n superfluous volatiles are released, and the biopolymers (cellulose, ” hemicellulose and lignin) partly decompose giving off various types of o ^ 30 volatiles. The final product is the remaining solid, dry, blackened material which is referred to as “torrefied biomass” or “bio-coal”.
2
The known solutions for processing biomass are typically very dedicated to only a certain purpose, like producing biogas, bio-coal, ash, drying agent (bedding) or the like. However, there is a need for alternative system, which is more versatile.
5
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the invention is to alleviate and eliminate the disadvantages relating to the known prior art and offer an alternative and more versatile system for producing biofuel. Especially the object of the invention is to 10 provide a system for producing biofuel from biomass easily and cost effectively, such as both biogas, solid biofuel, as well as drying agent (bedding).
The object of the invention can be achieved by the features of independent claims.
15 The invention relates to a system for producing biofuel from biomass according to claim 1. In addition the invention relates to a method for producing biofuel from biomass according to claim 10.
According to an embodiment of the invention biofuel is produced of biomass by thermochemical treatment by heating the biomass in a first processing 20 chamber with first elevated temperature, where the temperature is so high and the exposure time so long that any biological activity of said biomass is essentially eliminated (i.e. said biomass is hygienic). According to an example the first temperature is about 160-200°C, and advantageously w about 180°C, and the length of the time period is about 20-40 minutes, and § 25 advantageously about 30 minutes. After the first processing step at least ^ portion of the processed biomass can be removed from the process as x prepared or completed hygienic drying agent (bedding), which can be used “ for example as a drying agent in barns.
CD
En In addition at least portion of the already processed biomass can be 5 30 upgraded by heating said biomass additionally in a second processing
CNJ
chamber with a second elevated temperature being higher than said first elevated temperature in order to produce biofuel with another form, such as bio-coal. The second temperature is advantageously about 360-400°C, and 3 more advantageously about 380°C, and the length of the time period is about 20-40 minutes, and advantageously about 30 minutes.
During the thermochemical treatment superfluous volatiles, such as water vapour and oxygen, but also inflammable gases, especially carbon based 5 gases, are released from the biomass, which are advantageously collected outside the chambers. Especially the inflammable gases having bioenergy in the form of gas is collected and used for example for the heating purposes in the thermochemical treatment. The collection may be implemented by suction.
10 The produced biofuel comprises e.g. pellets, torrefied biomass, bio-coal, drying agent (bedding) or carbon based gases; and the biomass comprises e.g. dry manure, like livestock manure from cattle, pig or poultry farms, industrial or municipal waste, waste foodstuffs, or other dry biomass or organic feedstock.
15 The first and second processing chambers should be separated so that their environments (e.g. temperature, gases, vapour and other substances) are not interfered, and the processes are kept optimal. The separation may be implemented e.g. by a locking member, which separates the two different environments so that there is essentially no free direct heat or mass transfer 20 between said chambers. An example of this kind of locking member is e.g. a 2-phase locking member between the first and second chamber, where the member has two elements (first and second “doors”) and a space between said elements. The first element extends into the first chamber and the second element extends into the second chamber, and the elements are £2 25 configured to be opened and closed sequentially thereby allowing the ° biomass entering from the first chamber into the space and after closing the § first element and opening the second again allowing said biomass entering £ to the second chamber. Additionally the closing of the first element may x allow the opening of an auxiliary element and thereby removing at least 30 portion of the already processed biomass from the process as prepared or S completed hygienic drying agent (bedding).
m co 5 The present invention offers advantages over the known prior art, such as
CNJ
offering an alternative and more versatile system for producing many types of biofuel at the same system. In addition the use of the bio-carbon 35 produced according to the invention as a soil improvement agent reduces 4 the use of industrial based fertilizer or other industrial based improvement agents. Moreover the process according to the invention binds water and especially nutrients thereby reducing the release of the nutrients into water systems. The process additionally functions as a carbon sink when the 5 produces biomass is returned back to the earth.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Next the invention will be described in greater detail with reference to exemplary embodiments in accordance with the accompanying drawings, in 10 which:
Figure 1 illustrates a principle of an exemplary system for producing biofuel according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, and
Figures 2A-2E illustrates an exemplary locking member used in the system according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 illustrates a principle of an exemplary system 100 for producing biofuel of biomass 103 according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, wherein the system comprises a first processing chamber 101 20 with first elevated temperature for heating the biomass in the chamber 101 and producing biofuel, like hygienic drying agent (bedding). The system 5 comprises also a second processing chamber 102 with second elevated temperature (to apply torrefaction), which is higher than said first elevated 9 temperature. The second processing chamber 102 is used for additionally £ 25 processing and heating the biomass and thereby producing another kind of Ϊ biofuel than in said first chamber, such as biogas and bio-coal.
Q_
The first processing chamber 101 comprises a first input means 104 for 8 receiving the biomass for example from a storage 103, and transferring § means 105 configured to transfer the biomass through the first processing 30 chamber during a first time period to first output means 106.
5
The second processing chamber 102 is coupled with the first processing chamber 101 via the first output means 106 of the first processing chamber so that the biomass is received from first processing chamber 101 via the first output means 106. The transferring means 107 in the second 5 processing chamber 102 is configured to transfer the received biomass through the second processing chamber 102 during a second time period to second output means 108 for outputting the biofuel produced during the second time period.
The input and output means 104, 106, 108 may be implemented in several 10 ways, and for example the first output means 106 may be configured to output the processed biomass, such as drying agent either outside the system and/or further to the second processing chamber 102. One example is discussed in relation to Figure 2.
The system advantageously comprises also a low pressure duct 109 in the 15 first processing chamber 101, which is configured to suck superfluous volatiles, such as water vapour and oxygen, released from the biomass during the first time period in the first processing chamber 101 and transfer said volatiles outside said first processing chamber. In addition the system may also comprise a low pressure duct 110 in the second processing 20 chamber 102, which is configured to suck gases, especially carbon based or other inflammable gases, released from the biomass during the second time period and transfer said gases outside said second processing chamber. The transferring said substances away from the first and second processing chambers is advantageous, namely e.g. the environment in the first 25 chamber can be kept clear of oxygen, whereupon the risk for any burning 5 process is minimised, as well as other substances possibly harmful for the ™ process is removed. Additionally any gases, which can be used for energy, 9 are recovered especially from the second chamber.
Γ-- i According to an exemplary embodiment the first and/or second processing “ 30 chambers 101, 102 may be provided with low pressure means, like the low ^ pressure ducts 109, 110, which are configured to provide partial vacuum 6 inside the chambers. The partial vacuum intensifies e.g. evaporation of ^ water vapour and oxygen, as well as also many other gases, and thereby intensifies also the whole process.
6
According to an exemplary embodiment the transferring means 105, 107 is e.g. a spiral or gear conveyor, which transfers the biomass through the chamber when rotated. The transferring speed, i.e. the length of the time the biomass is exposed in the chamber, depends on the rotating speed of the 5 conveyor. The conveyor may have an elongated tubular member 109, 110 functioning as said low pressure ducts 109, 110 previously discussed, wherein the elongated tubular member advantageously comprises openings into the processing chamber for causing said low pressure / partial vacuum inside the processing chamber 101, 102.
ίο The system also comprises a heating means 111,112 configured to provide the first and second elevated temperatures into the first and second processing chambers 101, 102. According to an advantageously embodiment the heating means 111, 112 is configured to use biofuel gases, especially carbon based or other inflammable gases, released from the 15 biomass during the second time period in the second processing chamber 102. As an example the output of the low pressure duct 110 from the second chamber may be connected to the energy input of the heating means 111, 112.
The system may also comprise a gas compressing means for compressing 20 the gases produces during the second time period into a liquid form, and/or a pellet compressing means for compressing the dry biofuel mass produces during the second time period into the solid form, such as pellet or briquettes. In addition the system may be provided with a drying agent compressing means.
£2 25 Figures 2A-2E illustrates exemplary input/output means 104, 106, 108, ° which comprise advantageously two or even three locking members (like 5 doors) 201, 202, 203 and a small space 204 between the locking members ^ to permit the passage of the biomass between different environments and x chambers. The locking members separate the two (Figs 2A, 2B) or even “ 30 three (Figs 2C, 2D, 2E) different environments so that there is essentially no § free direct heat or mass transfer between said environments or chambers.
6 An example of this kind of locking member is e.g. a 2-phase lock. For ^ example the first locking member 201 (or door) extends into the first chamber 101 and the second locking member 202 extends into the second 35 chamber 102, and the locking members are configured to be opened and closed sequentially thereby allowing the biomass entering from the first 7 chamber into the space 204 and after closing the first element and opening the second again allowing said biomass entering to the second chamber 102. Additionally the closing of the first locking member 201 may allow the opening of an auxiliary locking member 203 (e.g. Figs 2D, 2E) and thereby 5 removing at least portion of the already processed biomass from the process as prepared or completed hygienic drying agent (bedding).
The invention has been explained above with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, and several advantages of the invention have been demonstrated. It is clear that the invention is not only restricted io to these embodiments, but comprises all possible embodiments within the spirit and scope of the inventive thought and the following patent claims.
