Abstract
A method for producing a biofuel by continuous or discontinuous steam cracking of lignocellulosic biomass includes: —recording a digital model of the optimal steam cracking parameters as a function of the nature and the content of the contaminants; —introducing a biomass containing at least part of the contaminated biomass into the steam cracking reactor; —measuring at least once during the treatment the nature and content of the contaminants; and—controlling the adjustment of the steam cracking parameters as a function of the nature and the content of the measured contaminants and of the digital model.
Claims9
A method for producing a solid biofuel by continuous or discontinuous steam cracking of lignocellulosic biomass, the method comprising:
- introducing a biomass comprising a contaminated lignocellulosic biomass into a steam cracking reactor, the contaminated lignocellulosic biomass comprising at least one contaminant;
- taking a sample of specimen in or at an outlet of the steam cracking reactor at least once during the steam cracking process;
- physicochemical analyzing the sample of specimen to identify a chemical nature and to determine an amount of the at least one contaminant contained in the sample of specimen;
- and
- adjusting at least one parameter of the steam cracking process based on analysis results of the at least one contaminant contained in the sample of specimen and on a digital model of optimal steam cracking parameters corresponding to the chemical nature and the amount of the at least one contaminant.
