Biomass input

The pig slurry contains only about 5 % dry weight, which can be elevated by adding biomass from energy plants. The energy plants biomass content is about 35 %, so it is possible to increase the solid content of the biomass input using energy plants. The most... 

Other technical aspects that should be considered when maximising the biomass input in existing coal-fired power plants are the operating flexibility, the maximum load, and unavailability. All of these aspects are extremely important in a liberalised electricity market. 

During the summer, a diverse phytoplankton community establishes that is mainly based on regenerated nutrients. In coastal waters, additional nutrient input may give rise to strong summer blooms. Carstensen et al. (2007) identified four mechanisms of nutrient and/or biomass input in Danish estuaries ... 

The content of SOM depends mainly on four functions (a) biomass input, (b) decomposition rate, (c) retention capacity, and (d) carbon output. All these functions arc controlled by environmental and biological parameters. 

Depending on the plant size, the biomass feedstock used and the type of fuel to be produced different concepts for syngas-based fuels are under development today. However, other plant configurations and gasifiers up to 100 MW biomass input capacity exist but which are related to heat and power production today. 

Based on the promising results a pilot plant covering the complete process chain is about to be constructed in cooperation with Lurgi on the KIT site. The 2-MW (500-kg biomass input capacity) fast pyrolysis plant based on a transported bed (twin screw) reactor was commissioned in 2008. A 5-MW high-pressure entrained flow gasifier equipped with a cooling screen and...
