Chapter 6 Sensitivity analysis: moisture effects 6.1 Introduction Chapter 6 Sensitivity analysis: moisture effects The analyses described in Chapters 4 and 5 have shown that externally fired gas turbines with a high temperature heat exchanger (GT EXT CER) and internal combustion engines coupled with a gasifier (ICE GAS) are the most performing biomass exploitation solutions for power generation. Having reached this conclusion represents the achievement of this thesis main objective. A complementary sensitivity analysis is finally proposed in this chapter: in particular, the aim is to study the thermodynamic and economic effects of varying the biomass type used for plant feeding. Indeed, in Chapter 1 (see Table 1.3) it has already been shown that different wood types generally have very similar characteristics concerning their composition on dry basis (and thus their lower heating value, for instance), therefore in first analysis the only relevant point regarding different wood types is moisture. Its effects on plant performance and the usefulness of biomass drying are here investigated. The chapter is divided into two parts: firstly a preliminary analysis is proposed, where effects of gradual biomass drying with flue gases are studied from a pure thermodynamic point of view, in order to show the benefits of such an operation; secondly a more complete thermodynamic and economic study is being carried out considering three scenarios: drying with hot flue gases, no drying and natural drying. GT EXT CER at 100 kWel and ICE GAS at 1 MWel have been adopted as reference plants, first of all because they have proved to be the best solutions in the previous analyses and secondly because they represent the two main ways to exploit biomass, i.e. by direct combustion of solid fuel in the former case and by conversion in syngas in the latter case. Wood pellets have been used as fuel in all simulations, same as in the previous chapters. The actual reference composition is the one related to dry basis, which is shown in 197PDF Image | SMALL-SCALE BIOMASS POWER GENERATION

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
