1 Energy Densification via Hydrothermal Pretreatment (HTP) of Cellulosic Biomass S. Kent Hoekman, Amber Broch, Curt Robbins DRI Chuck Coronella, Wei Yan Univ. of Nevada, Reno Larry Felix Gas Technology Institute TCS 2010 Conference September 22-23, 2010 Iowa State University Ames, IA 1
2 Background and Introduction Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock for production of heat, chemicals, fuels, and electrical power Diverse biomass sources: Woods, agricultural wastes, grasses, and other Large diversity of biomass sizes, shapes, compositions, and other parameters creates difficulties in: Handling, transporting, and storing different materials Feeding different materials into a single thermal conversion unit 2
3 Purposes of Biomass Pre-Treatment Three main objectives: 1. Homogenize feedstocks Reduce handling difficulties Convert multiple materials into a single feedstock 2. Increase energy density Reduce oxygen content of raw biomass Higher energy density reduces transportation costs 3. Improve storage stability and logistics Address seasonality of some feedstocks Overall Goal: Convert biomass into biochar that resembles low grade coal 3
4 Biomass Pre-Treatment Processes Many different pre-treatment processes have been developed. Two are of interest here: 1. Torrefaction Mild form of pyrolysis Dry conditions, low O 2 levels HTP Process Gas 2. Hydrothermal Pretreatment (HTP) Also known as wet torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) Treatment in hot, pressurized water Produces gases, liquids, and biochar Solid Biomass H 2 O Pressure Vessel 260º Condensed Liquid Recovered Solid (Bio-char) to Gasifier or Pyrolyzer for Energy/ Fuels 4
5 HTP Laboratory Process 2-Liter Stirred Parr Pressure Vessel Process variables: Temperature: o C Hold time at temp.: 0-60 min. Water/Biomass ratio: 4 8 Feedstock size: ¼ - ½ inch 5

7 HTP Feedstocks and Products Woody Feedstock used: Tahoe Mix Typical thinnings from Tahoe Forest Roughly 2/3 Jeffery Pine; 1/3 White Fir Other feedstocks also being investigated Loblolly Pine before and after HTP Process Reaction Products Gas phase: mostly CO 2 Traces of CO, CH 4, others Aqueous-phase: Degradation of hemi-cellulose Sugars, furans, organic acids Biochar: Cellulose and lignin Adsorbed organic compounds Friable, brittle materials (suitable for pelletization) 7
8 Mass Balance of HTP Process Collect and quantify gaseous, water soluble, and solid products Product fractions vary with process severity Higher temperature more gas; less solid Higher temperature more water Accurate mass balance is somewhat difficult to obtain Process conducted in large excess of water Water itself is a product of reaction Typically 55% solid, 10% gas, 20% water, 15% water solubles 8

17 Conclusions HTP process is an effective way to increase the value of biomass feedstocks Can increase energy density > 40% Can be applied to wide variety of biomass types Optimum HTP conditions for woody biomass: Temps of o C; reaction times of times of 5-30 min. Tradeoff between time and temperature Expected ancillary benefits of HTP include: Improved storage and handling properties of solid fuels Pelletizing biochar and co-firing with coal Use of biochar for soils improvement and carbon sequestration Possible beneficial uses of water-soluble products 17
