AGENDA
• Why pre-tretment of biomass• Charactarization of biomass• Different applications and technologies• Torrefaction, hammermills• Futher work
Energy Technology Centre3
Why pre-tretment of biomass
• Making a homogenius feedstook, size, form,,,• Changing structure in wood, hemicellulosa,
celluloosa, hydrophobe• Different applications combustion or gasification• Higher pressure, different levels of oxidant• Feeding systems, powder, slurry• Different gasification processes
Energy Technology Centre4
• Different gasification processes - Slagging, (needs additives)- Non- slagging
Technologies in Highbio project
• Systems for feeding biomass to high pressures- Powder form, lockhoppers- Slurry, pump systems
1 Torrefaction process2 New type of milling process shearing (patented)
compared to traditional hammer mill

Methods to characterize biomass
• Moisture content, ash content, density• Particle size distribution• Particle form, microscope• Valuting, bridging• Chemical analyzis• Combustion tests measuring deposits, slagg,
gasues, dust and particles

Torrefaction
• Breaking the wood structure regarding to decomposition
• Hemicellulosa, volotiles mainly acetic acid and water small amounts of methanol, acetone and fenol
• Making a hydrophobe product• Slurry pump technology
Energy Technology Centre10
• Slurry pump technology• Low milling energy
Torrefaction
• Around 30 scientific papers about torrefaction• A gap between current litterature regarding
combustion properties of torrefact material (Bridgman 2007)
• Comersial processes long ago • New plants in Ö-vik ”BioEndev” in Sweden 2010• Also a new plant in Holland
Energy Technology Centre11
• Also a new plant in Holland

Wood powder + water around 22 % biomassWood powder + vegetable oil around 27 % biomassWood powder + Methanol around 30 % biomass
Coal powder + water around 78 % biomass
Mix of wood and coal in not better!!!!
Slurry trials
Energy Technology Centre17
Trials with torrefacted material will be performed soon at ETC
Further work
• Torrefaction studies literature and lab trials slurry pumping
• Rotary valves and lock hoppers in lab• Using of different biomass feed stocks
(autumn 2009) using additives• New technology regarding milling (shearing)
Energy Technology Centre18
• New technology regarding milling (shearing)• Pyrolysis oil
