  4. 2. Production of Hydrogen for Oil Refining by Thermal Gasification of Biomass: Process Design, Integration and Evaluation

    Author : Jean-Florian Brau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogen; Modeling; Refining; Biomass Gasification; Energy Systems; Process Integration;

    Abstract : Hydrogen is an important part of crude oil refining operations since it is required in several units for the desulphurization and upgrading of various oil fractions. At present, most of the refineries meet their hydrogen demand through methane steam reforming, a refinery unit that can represent up to 25% of the plant’s fossil CO2 emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Environmental assessment of emerging technologies: the case of biopolymers

    Author : Selim Nouri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; life cycle assessment; cost assessment; environmental assessment; process modeling; biopolymer;

    Abstract : Current efforts to mitigate climate change, using renewable resources and reducing waste, drives the development of new industrial processes. In this study we examine the technologies for conversion of biomass to plastics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge fluidized bed gasification processes

    Author : Thomas Karl Hannl; Marcus Öhman; Matthias Kuba; Nils Skoglund; Flemming Jappe Frandsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gasification; sewage sludge; agricultural residues; bed material; fluidized bed; feldspar; ash transformation; potassium; phosphorus; ICP-AES MS; SEM; EDS; XRD; thermodynamic equilibrium modeling; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : One of the most sustainable pathways of sewage sludge treatment in recent years has been thermal conversion. The benefits of thermal treatment of sewage sludge are the recovery of energy or valuable chemical products, the destruction of harmful organic compounds, the separation of heavy metals from the P-rich coarse ash fraction, and the decreased and sanitized ash volume.
