Additional Information
Technology Brief The Thermo-Catalytic Reforming technology (TCR) has been developed by Fraunhofer UMSICHT and Susteen Technologies GmbH, is a spin-off company of the Fraunhofer UMSICHT. The process utilizes both the intermediate pyrolysis (heating of organic matter to 350°C-500°C, at moderate heating rates 50°C/min-200°C/min, with solid residence times in minutes) combined with post catalytic reforming of the pyrolysis products (heating to 500°C-750°C) in contact with the char formed acting as a catalyst. Various feedstocks can be applied and over 50 types of residual biomass feedstock types, sludges and other wastes have been tested. It is claimed that the process can process mixed feedstock fractions with moisture contents ranging from dry to over 30%, particle sizes 3mm–30mm and feedstock containing up to 10%wt in plastics. The process converts nearly any type of biomass and organic waste residue into a gas (20%-40%wt), high quality low oxygenated bio-oil (TCR-oil) (5%-14%wt), and char (22%-50%wt), and an aqueous phase (15%-25%wt) that is immiscible with the TCR-oil. The gas has a high energy value, 14-18MJ/kg, and is hydrogen-rich and basically free of tars. The oil is largely decarboxylated, and an energy contents of 32-38MJ/kg, oxygen content below 10% and water content ranging 1%-5% depending on feedstock and process conditions.
