Biomass high-pressure transformation

At HNEI high-yield biomass charcoals were produced in two reactors with similar configurations and operating procedures. The process development unit (PDU) has an internal volume of 80 L and can produce as much as 10 kg of charcoal per cycle (6). Because the pyrolytic reactions which transform biomass to charcoal are exothermic (8), the pilot plant requires little heat input. The laboratory reactor (9) is a pressure vessel with an internal volume of 7.2 L. At the bottom of this reactor there...
