Techno-Economic Evaluation of Biological and Fluidised-Bed Based Methanation Process Chains for Grid-Ready Biomethane Production

Tilman J. Schildhauer, Andreas Gantenbein

Three different power-to-methane process chains with grid injection in two scales (1 MWel and 6 MWel) were analysed regarding their investment and operation cost. The process chains were based on biological or catalytic bubbling fluidised bed methanation i ...

CO Methanation for Synthetic Natural Gas Production

Tilman J. Schildhauer

Energy from woody biomass could supplement renewable energy production towards the replacement of fossil fuels. A multi-stage process involving gasification of wood and then catalytic transformation of the producer gas to synthetic natural gas (SNG) repres ...

Sulfur containing organic compounds in the raw producer gas of wood and grass gasification

Christian Ludwig, Tilman J. Schildhauer

The detailed description of gas streams in biomass gasification plants is necessary for the correct design and operation of these units. Sulfur containing compounds are usually present in biomass gasification gas, since sulfur is typically found in the fee ...

Liquid-Quench Sampling System for the Analysis of Gas Streams from Biomass Gasification Processes. Part 1: Sampling Noncondensable Compounds

Christian Ludwig, Tilman J. Schildhauer

In biomass gasification plants and related research units, on-line analysis of noncondensable compounds (H-2, CO, CO2, CH4, and light hydrocarbons) and condensable compounds (water, tars, etc.) is desired. Long-duration on-line measurements are often a cha ...

Liquid-Quench Sampling System for the Analysis of Gas Streams from Biomass Gasification Processes. Part 2: Sampling Condensable Compounds

Christian Ludwig, Tilman J. Schildhauer

The performance of a continuous liquid-quench-based sampling system is presented, with regard to the sampling of condensable compounds. Toluene is used as a model molecule representing tars commonly found in the gas streams of biomass gasification plants a ...

Transmission of Alkali Aerosols through Sampling Systems

Christian Ludwig, Tilman J. Schildhauer

In biomass gasification, particles such as condensed alkali salts pose a threat on equipment. Due to high loads of condensable tars in the gases, sampling of these particles to liquids and subsequent analysis of the liquid is frequently the method of choic ...

Sulphur poisoning of Ni catalysts in the SNG production from biomass: A TPO/XPS/XAS study

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Tilman J. Schildhauer

Ni-based catalysts are prone to deactivation (poisoning) of their active surface sites by sulphur and carbon species contained in the gas fed to the reactor. This study focuses on Ni/Al2O3-based catalyst samples which had allegedly been deactivated by sulp ...
