Deliverables
Report on preliminary process simulation study with mass and energy balances, sensitivity analysis and simplified economic analysis of the complete FLEDGED system. The key performance indexes are calculated and the key process variables affecting the energy performance and economics are identified. Reference task: 4.1.
Definition of the final experimental matrices for testing SEG and SEDMES processes. Matrices are based on the results from the process simulations of the complete FLEDGED system in WP4 and from the experimental tests obtained so far in WP2 and 3. Reference task: 3.1.
The deliverable focuses on the development of catalysts for DME production based on heteropolyacids and comparison of their performance against benchmark Al2O3 catalysts. Commercial HPAs (W, P…) will be deposited on different supports (TiO2, Ce2O3, Al2O3, carbon…) using different loadings. Catalysts will be characterized to determine their bulk and surface composition, their textural properties and their acidity by XRD, XPS, BET, thermal analysis and chemisorption of CO2 and or NH3 amongst others. In addition the catalytic performance for methanol dehydration will be evaluated in a fixed bed reactor and compared with Al2O3 . The effects of variable such as T, P and GHSV for methanol conversion and selectivity will be evaluated. The best catalyst(s) will be identified. Reference task: 2.2.
Description of the achievements of the project. Technical achievements in each WP are reported. Reference tasks: 1.2, 1.3.
This deliverable aims to identify the optimum composition of catalysts mixtures for the production of DME from syngas in fixed bed reactor. Mixtures will comprise a syngas to methanol catalyst and dehydration catalyst. The effect of the nature of each catalyst, relative loading and degree of mixing will be evaluated in terms of syngas conversion, DME production and durability. In addition, reaction conditions P, T and GHSV will be optimized. Reference task: 2.1.
This deliverable will be a report that will compile all the information obtained in the analysis of the different fuels that will be used in the gasification experiments along the projects. In addition, the sorbents used in the sorption enhanced gasification will be also analysed and the results will be also reported in this deliverable. Reference task: 2.1.
Definition of the first experimental matrices for testing SEG and SEDMES processes. Matrices are based on the results from the first process simulations of the complete FLEDGED system in WP4 and the experimental results of WP2. Reference task: 3.1.
MnOx/Co3O4 catalysts with different compositions (Mn to Co ratios) will be prepared by different procedures including co-precipitation at controlled pH. Catalysts will be characterized by different techniques including BET, XRD, XPS, ATG and TEM. The catalytic performance for the synthesis of methanol from syngas will be evaluated in fixed bed reactor at different P, T and GHSV and compared against benchmark Cu/Zn/Al2O3 in terms of activity, selectivity and durability. Reference task: 2.2.
D6.1 aims at defining a comprehensive framework to assess the environmental, socio-economic and safety performance of the investigated biomass-to-liquid value chains. It also includes the management of data collection within WP6 (including coordination, preparation of data collection templates, definition of a time plan, etc.). Reference tasks: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3.
A summary on the lab scale research results on reduction of methane yield in the SEG process and beneficial means of integration of unconverted methane recycled from the DME synthesis is presented. Reference task: 2.1.
This deliverable will be a report where all the results and conclusions obtained in the sorption enhanced gasification tests will be shown. The results of the two lab-scale facilities involved in the project will be reported. Reference task: 2.1.
FLEDGED web site is created and project social media accounts are on line. Reference task: 8.2.
