Modelling the PHC-char Separator for the PYSOLO Solar Integrated Pyrolysis Plant
Short Introductive summary
This paper presents the development of a comprehensive tool designed to describe the dynamics of a separator with the Particles Heat Carrier (PHC) and char mixture. Being part of the PYSOLO project - which targets the coupling Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology and biomass pyrolysis in an innovative concept - this activity aims at supporting the development of the target technology. The developed tool facilitates the design of an efficient separation of char from the bed, while retaining the PHC within. The model’s capability extends to correlating results with essential operational parameters, including but not limited to the characteristics of char, heat carrier properties, and gas flow dynamics (dimensional distribution, density, velocity, temperature, etc.). The proposed tool serves as a valuable asset in understanding and optimizing the performance of the key plant segment: the separator loaded with PHC-char mixtures.
