Advanced technologies for biomass combustion: enhancing efficiency and fuel flexibility
Highly Efficient Heat Recovery from Biomass Combustion by Applying A Quench/packed Bed Condenser Coupled with a Compression Heat Pump
Short Introductive summary
The EU Horizon Europe project Clean bioenergy for industry (CBE4I, No. 101122292) aims at the development of a novel, fuel-flexible biomass updraft gasification based technology for a highly energy efficient, almost zero emission and zero waste process heat supply for flexible implementation at industrial settings satisfying the specific demands of industry. Within this project, a novel concept for flue gas condensation using a quench reactor in combination with a packed bed with directly coupled heat pump has been developed. In order to support the design of the condensation reactor, a model has been developed to be able to define the operating point (based on the flue gas and quench water mass flows) as well as to estimate the heat and mass transfer from the flue gas to the quench water. The model has then been verified and improved via test run results.
