  1. Project 6 Conversion of Biomass into Bioenergy and Bioproducts Roger Ruan, Petter Hieronumus Heyerdahl, and Lanny Schmidt, Robert Walker, Elisabet Fjermestad Hagen How new technologies can provide sustainable solutions Staur, Norway, August 15th – 18th, 2004

  2. Outline • Biomass facts • New biomass conversion technologies • Total liquefaction process • Microwave pyrolysis • Refining • Product and market possibilities • Joint collaboration proposal resulted from last year’s meeting and our recent discussion

  3. Biomass characteristics • Lot of biomass available, such as agricultural and forestry byproducts, MSW, and industrial wastes • Low bulk density and distributed resource • Low energy density

  4. New biomass conversion technologies • Total liquefaction process • Microwave pyrolysis • Refining

  5. Total Liquefaction Process Zero Emission! Biomass Biopolymers, Biochemicals, Biofuels

  6. Example of Biomass corn stover meal starch pineapple pulp

  7. Liquefaction apparatus Liquefying agents Catalysts Medium temperature Atmospheric pressure

  8. Fossil Oil Like Biopolyols Unlimited Possibilities • Millions of years work in hours • Can be implemented on or near farms to convert bulky biomass to easily managed pumpable liquids for transport to refineries

  9. Product Possibilities • Fuels • Biopolymers • Polyurethane (soft and rigid foam) • Polyesters (sheet, film) • Adhesives • Paints • High strength pressed articles (e.g., fiber board) • Fibers • Feedstock for other processes

  10. Research at CFB Polyester + DGG Composite Polyester + fibers Composite Polyester film Polyurethane foam Wood Adhesive Biodiesel Sample Products

  11. Collaboration on Microwave Technology for Biomass Conversion • Microwave as alternative heating method for biomass liquefaction: • Expected advantages: • Fast and uniform heating • Enhanced efficiency • Reduced undesirable localized burning or carbonization • Better temperature control

  12. Biogas Methane, hydrogen, CO ++ Microwave Pyrolysis Heats biomass in oxygen free atemosphere. Thermochemical decomposition. Microwaves Bio-oils Biomass Organic acids Carbon and inert

  13. MIKROBØLGE GENERATORER GASS PYROLYSE REAKTOR ALTERNATIV INNMATING FLISHUGGER KJØLER KARBON Pyrolysis Reactor at Agricultural University of Norway (10-60kg/hr)

  14. Factory produces elect., gas, oil, organic acids and carbon

  15. Biooil from microwave pyrolysis

  16. Biooil Refining System at Center for Biorefining

  17. Biooils, Biopolyols to Hydrogen and other Products Biomass Bio-oil Preprocessing Biopolyol and biooil injector Liquefaction Purification Waste Solvent Recycle Heating tape Gas and/or water Catalysts Gases Condensables H2, Syngas, Condensation Separation Modified Pyrolysis

  18. Joint collaboration proposals Microwave Pyrolysis Ind.Waste MSW Combined Biomass Refining Scheme Total Liquefaction Process Clean Biomass Biooils Syngas Biopolymers Coke Biochemicals Etc. Biorefining: Oxidation, Separation, Condensation and Distillation, Etc. Difficult Biomass
