Abstract
This invention relates to a new system for controlling temperature and pressure in, at least, one chemical reactor, characterized in that it includes, at least, the following devices: a) a deposit with at least one pressure regulation device; b) a connecting duct between said deposit and the reactor; c) a device for injecting condensates into the reactor. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of said control system to control the pressure and temperature of at least one chemical reactor, being especially applicable to a chemical reactor in which a hydrothermal biomass carbonization reaction takes place.
Claims17
A pressure and temperature control system for at least one chemical reactor for a hydrothermal biomass carbonization reaction, said control system comprising, at least, the following devices:
- a) a deposit with a top and a bottom and including at least one pressure regulation device, at least one inlet and at least one outlet for condensates, at least one steam and/or gas inlet located at the bottom of the deposit, and at least one steam and/or gas outlet located at the top of said deposit;
- b) a connecting duct between said deposit and a top of the reactor;
- c) a condensate injecting device for injecting condensates into the reactor.
A pressurized vertical reverse flow reactor for carrying out a hydrothermal carbonization reaction resulting in a mixture of carbonized biomass together with, at least, process water, wherein said reactor comprises a riser tube therein, which occupies a central area of the reactor from the bottom up 50 to 80% of the reactor height;
- as well as at least one steam inlet for injecting steam in a side and a bottom of the reactor and the riser tube, at least one steam evacuation duct at top of the reactor for the evacuation of steam and at least one condensate inlet for injecting condensates.
