Abstract

The patented technology is a novel, portable, non-invasive, and flexible technical solution for converting biogas into valuable chemical compounds, such as bio-methanol and bio-dimethyl ether (bio-DME). It consists of compact modules, connected to each other through a flange-valve-flange system, to be installed downstream an existing traditional biogas plant.

The two main sections of the module are those of reforming and synthesis: in the first the biogas is converted into bio-syngas (H₂/CO/CO₂), while in the second the bio-syngas is transformed into advanced biofuels such as bio-methanol and bio-DME. Parts of the synthesis module can always be changed with small investments to switch the final products, according to local market needs and price volatilities. Downstream at the synthesis section, it is possible to add a module for the separation and the purification of the chemical products.

The technology has been validated at the 0.15 MWe industrial scale.

将沼气转化为先进生物燃料的多功能模块化工厂

该专利技术是一种新颖、便携、无创、灵活的技术解决方案，可将沼气转化为有价值的化合物，如生物甲醇和生物二甲醚(bio-DME)。它由紧凑的模块组成，通过法兰-阀门-法兰系统相互连接，安装在现有传统沼气厂的下游。该模块的两个主要部分是重整和合成:第一部分将沼气转化为生物合成气(H2/CO/CO2)，而第二部分将生物合成气转化为先进的生物燃料，如生物甲醇和生物二甲醚。根据当地市场需求和价格波动，总可以用少量投资来改变合成模块的某些部分，以转换最终产品。在下游的合成部分，可以增加一个模块用于化学产品的分离和纯化。该技术已在0.15兆瓦的工业规模上得到验证。
