Objective
The target of this project is to help to predict and reduce operational problems that arise from the fluidised bed gasification of high alkali biomass for the production of a hydrogen-rich gas stream. At the same time to increase the scientific collaborati on, innovation and excellence in Europe by providing advanced training to a young promising researcher in one of the most dynamically developing research areas:renewable energy, thus, assisting him in gaining the necessary qualifications towards an indepen dent research career. The project aims at to reduce operational problems like fouling, corrosion and agglomeration as well as problems accosiated wih the catalyst deactivation during the catalytic upgrading of the gas stream to hydrogen-rich gas by pre-tre atment technologies and/or additive injection. Reducing fouling, agglomeration, corrosion and catalyst deactivation problems will reduce costs (investment and operation), increase efficiency and validity and help significantly to the commercialization of the technology. The studied fuels will be wheat straw a by-broduct with Worldwide importance and olive residue that has special importance in the Mediterranean area. The project includes both experimental activities as well as thermodynamic and kinetic equ ilibrium calculations. The experimental work includes fuel characterization, study the alkali, chlorine and sulphur release mechanicms from the biomass fuels using thermal analysis. Emphasis will be given on studying the effect of various pre-treatment tec hniques such as leaching and fractionation+leaching, and/or additives to the operational and catalyst deactivation/performance problems. Experimental investigations using the pressurized FB gasifier and the STA, will also be carried out in order to determi ne the effect of the pre-treatment techniques and/or additives to the gasification behaviour, the quality of the hydrogen rich gas stream and to the produced emissions such as tars, SO2, HCl and NOx.
