CHEMICAL LOOPING GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS FOR HYDROGEN-ENRICHED GAS PRODUCTION

Acharya, Bishnu, Acharya, Bishnu 02 August 2011 (has links)
Environmental concerns and energy security are two major forces driving the fossil fuel based energy system towards renewable energy. In this context, hydrogen is gaining more and more attention in this 21st century. Presently, hydrogen is produced from reformation of fossil fuels, a process that could not address above two problems. For this it needs to be produced from a renewable carbon neutral energy source. Biomass has been identified as such a renewable energy source. Conversion of biomass through thermo-chemical gasification process in the presence of steam could provide a viable renewable source of hydrogen. This thesis presents an innovative system based on chemical looping gasification for producing hydrogen-enriched gas from biomass. The other merit of this system is that it produces a pure stream of carbon dioxide by conducting in-process capture and regeneration of sorbent. A laboratory scale chemical looping gasification (CLG) system based on a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) is developed and tested. Experiments conducted to gasify sawdust in CFB-CLG system shows that it could produce a gas with as much as 80% hydrogen and as little as 5% carbon dioxide. A kinetic model is developed to predict the performance of the gasifier of a CFB-CLG system, and is validated against experimental results. To understand the science of biomass gasification in the presence of steam and CaO, a number of additional studies are conducted. It show that for higher hydrogen and lower carbon dioxide concentration in the product gas, the optimum values of steam to biomass ratio, sorbent to biomass ratio, and operating temperature are 0.83, 2.0 and 670oC respectively. In CFB-CLG system the sorbent goes through a series of successive calcination-carbonation cycles. Calcination studies in presence of three alternate media, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and steam show, that steam calcination is best among them. An empirical relation for calcination in presence of three media is developed. Owing to the sintering, irrespective of medium used for calcination, the conversion of CaO reduces progressively as it goes through alternate calcination-carbonation cycles. An additional empirical equation is developed to predict the loss in sorbent’s ability during carbonation.

Integrating Chemical Looping Gasification for Hydrogen Generation and CO2 Capture in Pulp Mills / Integrering av Chemical Looping Gasification för Generering av Vätgas samt CO2 Infångning på Massabruk

Palmér, Matilda January 2022 (has links)
Utsläpp av CO2 till atmosfären bidrar till ökningen av globala temperaturer. Industrisektorn står för 20 % av utsläppen och utav dessa kommer 6 % från pappers- och massaindustrin. För att lyckas minska den globala temperaturhöjningen till under 1,5 °C hjälper det inte bara att minska utsläppen. Även negativa utsläpp måste genereras. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka implementeringen av CLG för att separera CO2 på ett energieffektivt sätt och samtidigt generera H2 och elektricitet. Processanalyser genomfördes för att undersöka möjligheten att implementera CLG-processen till ett typiskt massabruk. Processmodeller togs fram for att undersöka CLG, värmeåtervinning samt elektricitetsgenerering. Processmodellerna utvecklades med hjälp av Aspen Plus och Aspen HYSYS. De framtagna modellerna analyserades sedan med avseende på olika designparametrar inom CLG-processen. På ett typiskt massabruk som producerar 800 000 adt varje år kan 375 kg CO2/adt separeras och då uppnå negativa utsläpp, genom att byta ut multi-fuel forsrännaren med en CLG process. Den framtagna processmodellen skulle också kunna generera 360-504 kWh/adt av H2 beroende på de designparametrar som används för CLG-processen. Enligt modellen kan värme som återvinns från processen användas för att fånga upp ytterligare 13 % av CO2 från andra delar av bruket. Processanalys för olika designparametrar inom CLG systemet så som temperatur, luftflöde och flödet av syrgasbärare har presenterats. Nyckeltalen som undersöktes var den mängd CO2 som kunde fångas upp, mängd H2 genererad samt överskottet av elektricitet som produceras när multi-fuel förbränningen byts ut mot en CLG-process på ett typiskt massa bruk. / Emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere are contributing to the global temperature rise. The industrial sector contributed to 20 % of the emissions and out of that, 6 % are generated from the pulp and paper industry. To limit the temperature increase below 1,5 °C, the emissions not only need to be reduced but also negative emissions should be generated from different sectors. The purpose of this study is to realize the implementation of Chemical Looping Gasification (CLG) to separate CO2 (for permanent storage) in an energy-efficient way while co-generating H2 as well as electricity. Process analysis was carried out to investigate the possibility of substituting the multifuel boiler in a typical pulp mill with a CLG process. Process models for the CLG, heat recovery and electricity generation process were developed using AspenPlus and Aspen HYSYS. The process was analysed for different design conditions (temperature, autothermal condition, air flow, oxygen carrier flow) in the CLG process. It was found that in a typical pulp mill producing 800 000 adt per year, 375 kg- CO2/adt (14 % of total emissions from the process) can be inherently separated for storage to achieve negative emissions, if the multi-fuel boiler is replaced with a CLG unit. This process will also be able to generate 360-504 kWh/adt H2 depending on the design conditions in the CLG process. Heat recovered from the CLG unit can be utilized in capturing approximately 13 % additional CO2 from other sources in the pulp mill. Process analysis for different design conditions in CLG (temperature, airflow, oxygen carrier flow) have been presented. The key performance indicators were CO2 capture rates, H2 generated and net electrical output from the process.
